Abstract

A multi-agent based architecture for the Portuguese Attorney General's Office documents is presented. The architecture has two layers: the first one uses natural language processing techniques to manage the legal text bases; the second one, uses dynamic logic programming to define agents, which cooperatively handle the interaction between users and the text bases. The natural language processing layer uses a lexical dictionary and a Portuguese POS (part of speech) tagger to improve the results of the text search engine. Moreover, the retrieved documents are clustered in topics, helping the users to refine their queries and to select the desired documents. The interaction layer uses agents to model cooperativity and to handle the multi-modal interactions (natural language sentences and graphical actions). The proposed architecture was implemented in a Linux environment using Prolog.
