Abstract

This article briefly outlines how the Iuriservice application was envisioned, the modeling process of the Ontology of Professional Judicial Knowledge, and the contribution of the users to the global development of this system. Iuriservice offers a semantically enabled FAQ search system for the Spanish judges in their first appointment. The system is now at the first stage of implementation in the Spanish Judicial School. Users may input questions to the system in natural language to obtain access to a database of experience-based answers to practical day-to-day questions. In order to offer the question-answer pair from the application database that best matches the input question, the search system is enhanced using ontologies. Some lessons learned are also outlined.
