Expert systems as tools for the explanation of the legal domain: The ARPO experiences

摘要

The necessity of having explanations of the knowledge used by professionals, such as the jurists, who are not accustomed to using formal languages, makes it necessary to develop strategies for capturing and storing knowledge with computers. This action eventually needs to work in special programs using standard resources. This is made in the program ARPO, using an expert system in order to explain the jurist's knowledge. The paper speaks about the steps made in this sense from the experiences of ARPO.
