Abstract

This paper aims at linking the AI notion of action to the notion of LEGAL RELATION. Legal rules concern actions to accomplish or to exclude and states to achieve or to avoid. The body of the rule establishes who and under which conditions must respect the obligation. In this paper, we introduce a definition of obligation and use it as an ontological basis to describe the LEGAL RELATIONS appearing in the A-Hohfeld language.
