Abstract

In this paper we introduce Solon, a legal document management platform aiming to improve access to legal sources by offering advanced modelling, managing and mining functions. It utilizes a novel method for extracting semantic representations of legal sources from unstructured formats, interlinking and enriching them with advanced classification features. Also, it provides refined search results utilizing the structure and specific features of legal sources, allowing users to connect and explore legal resources according to individual needs.
