Abstract

The Norms for Chilean Congress Library Ontology specification provides the first approach of concepts and properties for describing norms and related concepts in legislative context. This ontology is described both in N3 and RDF-XML syntax, and possibly will be described too in RDFa. For now is the first approach of the final ontology for BCN.
