“…Open government data, in a sense, formalises and liberalises the freedom of information legislation operative in many nations. [157]. In the UK data.gov.uk (http://data.gov.uk/), launched in January 2010, contains government datasets from many domains.…”

“…For instance, since 2009, the US Government has started 20 a process for creating and releasing governance data so as to enable public access to datasets generated by the executive branch of the federal government 21 (195,033 datasets as of February 26, 2016) [60].…”

“…This fact changed dramatically in the 21st century, owing in part to a new extremely competitive framework, nationally and internationally alike, and to the economic success of the Web. The launching of the Creative Commons in 2001, 60 Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) systems [71], crisis-anddisaster management platforms (such as USHAIDI), 61 and crowd-sourced systems for constitutional and legal drafting purposes 62 [74] incorporate new kinds of social regulations based on participation, Open Source Intelligence (OSINT), and Social Intelligence 63 (SI) [97]. Different private and public, individual and collective, interests have to be balanced and harmonised in a transparent and accountable manner, especially when security and data-protection principles need to be implemented to protect citizens and citizens' rights at the same time.…”

“…Best practices and norms are not often made explicit [100]. However, even recognizing that standards and technologies make sense only to the extent that they are deployed, and that many de facto standards emerged not from standardisation bodies but bottom-up, there is huge room for improvement and rationalisation in the interface of law 60 https://creativecommons.org/. 61 https://www.ushahidi.com/.…”

“…Finally, LegalRuleML TC 70 [60] is providing a framework for expressing in a formal language the constitutive and prescriptive rules and constraints of which norms and regulative texts are made. LegalRuleML also provides an RDFS meta-model for the deontic and defeasible logic operators applied in the legal domain in order to export the metadata in RDF.…”

Semantic Web for the Legal Domain: The next step

Abstract. Ontology-driven systems with reasoning capabilities in the legal field are now better understood. Legal concepts are not discrete, but make up a dynamic continuum between common sense terms, specific technical use, and professional knowledge, in an evolving institutional reality. Thus, the tension between a plural understanding of regulations and a more general understanding of law is bringing into view a new landscape in which general legal frameworks -grounded in well-known legal theories stemming from 20th-century c. legal positivism or sociological jurisprudence -are made compatible with specific forms of rights management on the Web. In this sense, Semantic Web tools are not only being designed for information retrieval, classification, clustering, and knowledge management. They can also be understood as regulatory tools, i.e. as components of the contemporary legal architecture, to be used by multiple stakeholders -front-line practitioners, policymakers, legal drafters, companies, market agents, and citizens. That is the issue broadly addressed in this Special Issue on the Semantic Web for the Legal Domain, overviewing the work carried out over the last fifteen years, and seeking to foster new research in this field, beyond the state of the art.

Censuses are one of the most relevant types of statistical data, allowing analyses of the population in terms of demography, economy, sociology, and culture. For finegrained analysis, census agencies publish census microdata that consist of a sample of individual records of the census containing detailed anonymous individual information. Working with microdata from different censuses and doing comparative studies are currently difficult tasks due to the diversity of formats and granularities. In this article, we show that novel data processing techniques can be applied to make census microdata interoperable and easy to access and combine. In fact, we demonstrate how Linked Open Data principles, a set of techniques to publish and make connections of (semi-)structured data on the web, can be fruitfully applied to census microdata. We present a step-by-step process to achieve this goal and we study, in theory and practice, two real case studies: the 2001 Spanish census and a general framework for Integrated Public Use Microdata Series (IPUMS-I).
