Toward a general theory of document modeling
Abstract
Most legal tasks involve document preparation and review. Drafting effective texts is central to lawyering, judging, legislating, and regulating. How best to support that work with intelligent tools is an ancient topic in AI-and-Law research. For those tools to work, they must have good quality knowledge content to work with. Many alternative theories and techniques for modeling documents have been developed for particular kinds of situations. This article sketches a basic general theory of legal document modeling, with a focus on the key role of argumentation.
