Abstract

This paper argues for the idea of publishing legislation and case law as Linked Open Data (LOD) on the Semantic Web, to cater several user groups, including the general public, legislators, lawyers, researchers of legal informatics, and application developers. To support the argument, the proof-of-concept system LawSampo - Finnish Legislation and Case Law on the Semantic Web is introduced, including a semantic portal and a LOD service. Based on the Sampo Model, the main novelty of LawSampo is the provision of heterogenous distributed legal data through multiple application perspectives for faceted searching and exploring the data and for data analysis in legal informatics.
