Core concepts of law: taking common-sense seriously. Breuker, J. & Hoekstra, R. In Proceedings of Formal Ontologies in Information Systems FOIS-2004, pages 210-221, 2004. IOS-Press. abstract bibtex In this paper we present LRI-Core,
a core ontology for covering domains of law. After a decade of developing many ontologies for legal domains and applications,
the need for a unifying core ontology that covers the main concepts that are common to all legal domains became very apparent. It can be argued that not only these domains have a predominant common-sense character ? the law is still for the people ? but also that typical legal concepts such as norm,
role responsibility,
contract,
etc. have still a grounding in abstract common-sense conceptualizations. This common sense grounding is lacking in various upper- or foundational ontologies developed thus far. The paper presents a number of design principles that follow from the common-sense stance in developing the LRI-Core: the most important being cognitive plausibility. From this perspective,
knowledge about the physical world,
with the central notions of object and process is taken as a basis for metaphorizing mental and abstract worlds. The intentional stance that differentiates the physical world from the mental world is also the basis for the creation of a behavioural world of roles. In summary,
LRI-Core starts with four main categories: physical classes,
mental classes,
roles,
and abstract classes. A fifth category consists of terms for occurrences,
which are used to talk about instances (situations) in a generic way.
