Abstract

Ontology is to describe concepts and their relationships within a domain. Indian judicial applications have enough scope of services rendered with the help of Artificial Intelligence based tools. Since adequate domain knowledge is essential for the development of Artificial Intelligence based system, identification of appropriate legal ontology has enormous importance. The authors have proposed an approach to create an-ontology-based description of legal knowledge in terms of entities, relationships, instances, and axioms from textual description of rules corresponding to Criminal Major Act on dowry death as stated in Indian Penal Code Section (IPC) 304B. The authors have evaluated the proposed ontology with some DL queries successfully.
