ABSTRACT
This paper describes experimental research investigating automated techniques for creating legal ontologies from legislation and for merging existing ontologies with new ones when new laws are adopted. The first part of the paper describes how the ontologies are built, the second part how they are merged for updating the first one.Given a legal ontology, elaborated using certain methods and tools and dedicated to information retrieval, we explore the way to update it. We present important elements concerning the initial ontology: purposes, methods and tools. We describe the experimentation of the updating of a legal ontology.
