The Law Making Environment system for planning, wording and managing legislative sources is made up of editing and searching supporting tools. In order to handle the semantics of legislative sources, two interacting models have been developed: a rule model and a lexicon of concepts. Semantic draft and search supporting tools are based on both models, in a way that makes their interaction possible. A rule theory has been developed, which can describe the illocutionary profile of legislative texts through metadata. As far as concepts are concerned, a conceptual dictionary has been also created. Through the search tool the user is enabled, for instance, to search for obligations related to particular actions or subjects, described in the query through the domain ontology. The LMEmetaSearch tool shows the related rules and additionally, if requested, finds implicit information, providing the user with a wide account on the subject and playing to some extent the role of an advice system.

Abstract
The Law Making Environment system for planning, wording and managing legislative sources is made up of editing and searching supporting tools. In order to handle the semantics of legislative sources, two interacting models have been developed: a rule model and a lexicon of concepts. Semantic draft and search supporting tools are based on both models, in a way that makes their interaction possible. A rule theory has been developed, which can describe the illocutionary profile of legislative texts through metadata. As far as concepts are concerned, a conceptual dictionary has been also created. Through the search tool the user is enabled, for instance, to search for obligations related to particular actions or subjects, described in the query through the domain ontology. The LMEmetaSearch tool shows the related rules and additionally, if requested, finds implicit information, providing the user with a wide account on the subject and playing to some extent the role of an advice system.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
