Abstract

This paper presents a conceptual graph formalism called simple graph boolean formulas that extends the \(\mathcal{SG}\) with boolean connectors. This formalism is used to define categories of objects in a classification service that can be turned into a legal content management system. We define the \(\mathcal{SGBF}\) of graph boolean formulas, present two decidable fragments of this formalism (relying on the first order logic BSR and guarded fragments), and describe the functional architecture of a generic classification service that can be used in the legal domain.
