Winkels, Boer, and Plantevin: Creating Context Networks in Dutch Legislation

Professor Dr. Radboud Winkels , Dr. Alexander Boer , and Ivan Plantevin , all of the University of Amsterdam Leibniz Center for Law, have posted Creating Context Networks in Dutch Legislation , a paper presented at JURIX 2013.

Here is the abstract:

This paper describes ongoing research on automatically determining relevant context to display to a user of a legislative portal given the article they are retrieving, purely based on “objective” criteria inferred from the network of sources of law. A first prototype is presented and a formative evaluation of it by legal expert users. Results are promising, but there is room for improvement.

The paper describes research performing using the MetaLex Document Server.
