Florian Kuhn of Universität Potsdam Department Linguistik presented a paper entitled A Framework for Graph-based Parsing of German Private Law Decisions, at LIT 2010: The 3rd Workshop on Legal Informatics and Legal Information Technology, held 3 May 2010, in Berlin, Germany, in conjunction with BIS 2010: The 13th International Conference on Business Information Systems. Here is the abstract of the paper:
We present a work in progress report of our research on automatically analyzing German court decisions. For accessibility to information retrieval and text summarization processing, we show concepts of a parsing framework dealing with linguistic features of this genre. To cover these features, we first developed a description language inferred from content structure analysis presented before. The main aspect of this paper is the presentation of a graph-based parsing framework concept. The parser will be able to label the content structure of German court decisions.
