Abstract

Legal ontology is one of the most researched areas of Artificial Intelligence and Law, but is less applied in the compliance world. In this chapter we discuss the application of a domain-specific ontology building tool used for compliance monitoring with suitable extensions for modelling duties and roles. We first provide a description of the Eunomos package, before describing in detail the extensions with duties and roles applied to the Eunonmos ontology so that compliance officers can research laws and monitor compliance within the same web environment.
