Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The construction of comprehensive legal information systems require at least three different kinds of mechanisms of information retrieval and knowledge representation, ranging from domain-specific and knowledge-based to fully automatic and general purpose. This paper describes how different information needs are satisfied by different architectures, and in particular how the FLEXICON System[l] being developed by the FLAIR team can replace Boolean word searches with a system of information retrieval using weighted conceptual profiles to search automatically indexed databases.
