Abstract

Legal reasoning involves multiple temporal dimensions but the existing state of the art of legal representation languages does not allow us to easily combine expressiveness, performance and legal reasoning requirements. Moreover we also aim at the combination of legal temporal reasoning with the defeasible logic approach, maintaining a computable complexity. The contribution of this work is to extend LKIF-rules with temporal dimensions and defeasible tools, extending our previous work [17].
