The subject of this paper is a description of the Jur-Wordnet(Jur-IWN) project, an extension for legal domain of theItalian version of EuroWordNet database, linked to theInterlingual Index (ILI) records, The data base aims atproviding both a content description model for legalinformation and a tool for accessing multilingual andheterogeneous information sources. The double perspectiveof application of the database involves a doubleinterpretation of the model, and of its features. Conceived asa lexical source, terms are linked to each other throughoutsemantic relation, while, as a content description model, theconcepts are organised according to stronger assumptionsabout the ontological nature of entities that populate thelegal domain and about their relationship. The crucialproblem is to save the global consistency of the model, in theview of the interchange between their components the lexicalview need a clear definition of the boundaries betweencommon language and technical legal terminology, while theconceptualisation of the core entities need to be linked incoherent way with upper level categories and the lexicalleafs'.
