A Toolset for Normative Interpretations in FLINT
conference paper
In light of the challenges in tracking and comprehending diverse interpretations of legal texts, this paper introduces a method for norm interpretation using ontologies and digital tools. We propose the FLINT ontology, a language for expressing interpretations of normative sources, as well as a set of software tools to support its utilization. The FLINT ontology represents norms as normative acts with pre- and postconditions. Each of these elements are linked to its source, ensuring traceability and explainability. The software tools we introduce in this paper include a source decomposition application that converts normative documents into RDF-based representations, a norm editor for creating interpretations of norms based on FLINT, and the integration of an automated assistance module that generates annotation suggestions to assist users in encoding normative texts.
