Abstract:
partial information, conditional query and answer, deductive object-oriented database In legal reasoning systems, a typical application of normative reasoning, partial information plays an important role in the representation and reasoning of legal knowledge. To construct a legal knowledge-base with partial information, many features are required of knowledge representation languages. In this paper, we discuss the representation of knowledge-bases and their refinement through our experimental system, TRIAL. The system is based on the QUIXOT E deductive object-oriented database language. In particular, we point out that three features (knowledge modularization, hypothetical reasoning, and hypothesis generation (abductive reasoning)) are indispensable to the construction of a legal knowledge-base. 1
