First Call for Papers for the International Workshop on Artificial 
Intelligence Technologies for Legal Documents (AI4LEGAL), collocated 
with ISWC2022 (apologies for cross-posting)

*ABOUT THE WORKSHOP*

The legal domain applies to every aspect of people’s living and evolves 
continuously, building a huge network of interlinked legal documents.
Therefore, it is important for a government to offer services that make 
legal information easily accessible to the citizens, enabling them to 
defend their rights, auditing public procurement, or to use legislation 
as part of their job. It is equally important to have professionals 
(lawyers, judges, administrations, etc.) access legislation in ways that 
allow them to do their job easily (e.g., they might need to be able to 
see the evolution of a law over time). Despite recent efforts to make 
all this accessible and transparent to both citizens and the companies 
involved, the level of implementation in different countries and layers 
of public administration still makes access difficult. For this reason, 
in the age of the Web it is important to develop applications for 
citizens and professionals easily, by connecting the available legal 
information with other kinds of government or private sector information.

The vision of the AI4LEGAL workshop (https://ai4legal.linkeddata.es/) is 
to bring together Artificial Intelligence and practitioners to discuss 
the digitization of legal documents, such as legislation and public 
procurement data, in today’s interconnected world.
