-- Information about LegalRuleML Core Specification V1.0

Legal texts, e.g. legislation, regulations, contracts, and case law, are
the source of norms, guidelines, and rules that govern societies. As text,
it is difficult to label, exchange, and process content except by hand. In
our current web-enabled world, where innovative e-government and e-commerce
are increasingly the norm, providing machine-processable forms of legal
content is crucial.

The objective of the LegalRuleML Core Specification Version 1.0 is to
define a standard (expressed with XML-schema and Relax NG and on the basis
of Consumer RuleML 1.02) that is able to represent the particularities of
the legal normative rules with a rich, articulated, and meaningful mark-up
language.

LegalRuleML models:

- defeasibility of rules and defeasible logic;
- deontic operators (e.g., obligations, permissions, prohibitions, rights);
- semantic management of negation;
- temporal management of rules and temporality in rules;
- classification of norms (i.e., constitutive, prescriptive);
- jurisdiction of norms;
- isomorphism between rules and natural language normative provisions;
- identification of parts of the norms (e.g. bearer, conditions);
- authorial tracking of rules.

The TC received 4 Statements of Use from Livio Robaldo, Swansea University,
CSIRO Data61, and CirSFID-AlmaAI.[3].
