23 p, 574.8 KB On the concept of relevance in legal information retrieval / Van Opijnen, Marc (Publications Office of the Netherlands) ; Santos, Cristiana (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Institut de Dret i Tecnologia)
The concept of 'relevance' is crucial to legal information retrieval, but because of its intuitive understanding it goes undefined too easily and unexplored too often. We discuss a conceptual framework on relevance within legal information retrieval, based on a typology of relevance dimensions used within general information retrieval science, but tailored to the specific features of legal information.

Institut de Dret i Tecnologia) ; Gómez-Pérez, Asunción (Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. Ontology Engineering Group)
In this paper we examine the possibilities offered by the EU legal framework to set and regulate a data and meta-data market. It is our contention that a policy and legally-driven market could benefit from analytical concepts —meta-rule of law, semantic web regulatory models, legal ontologies— to reduce privacy and data protection risks.
