An alternative method for computerized legal text restructuring

摘要

Legal quality is a manifold issue; the presented research is focusing on the structural and referential aspects. Focusing on verbs and nouns, the text is turned into graphs, opening a compressed visual view of the legal act and offers several useful features: (1) information-enriched graphical representation of the law; (2) search tool; (3) mind map to open visual insights; (4) input to ontology; (5) comparison basis between legal acts; (6) basis for restructuring the legislation.
