At the 1991 Conference, SoftLaw presented a paper dealing with issue which arise in the modelling of legislation as English sentences and rules which a computer can process. Using the techniques outlined in that article, knowledge bases may be constructed to model areas of the law, especially those concerned with public administration. This paper illustrates the incorporation of such knowledge bases into a large scale application. This type of application may be used to drive the business of any organisation which primarily administers a large body of rules (legislative or otherwise).Firstly, the paper gives a background description of the role played by ASSESS, a large scale application whose processing is based around legal knowledge bases.Secondly, the system architecture of ASSESS is examined, focusing on: (i) the overall architecture of the application, and why that architecture was adopted, (ii) the structure of the knowledge based component of the application, and the reasons for that structure.
