Using NLP and Ontologies for Notary Document Management Systems

In this paper we describe the use of NLP techniques and ontologies as the core for building novel e-gov based information systems, and in particular we define the main characteristics of a document management system in the legal domain, that manages a variety of paper documents, automatically transforming them into RDF statements, for suitable indexing, retrieval and long term preservation. Although we describe a general architecture that can be used for several application domains, our system is particularly suitable for the Italian notary realm.
