 Some background: a public safety system can be seen as multiple information ecosystems and technologies that exchange information to prevent crime, solve crime, and predict and mitigate incidents that threaten the public. They can be ranked by their relationship to real time events, aka, a Call For Service dispatched from a 911 system (a call center). Once a CFS event is closed, an incident is created in the police records management system and/or the court systems. In a proactive system (see COPS MORE), the system is used to prevent incidents. In a Dispatch or CFS-centric system, it can only be used to solve them because the data flow starts at the CFS and few if any pre-CFS events are recorded. Dispatch alone is insufficient because in blunt terms, a dispatch system cannot prevent or solve a rape. In such systems, the legal expressions (laws, policies, statutes, etc.) are typically stored and represented in code list driven text selects. As far as the system is concerned, this is all dumb data and the human does most of the intelligence work. In a rules-driven system, these would be stored as a combination of ontologies and executable rules. However, given the requirements for publication, the system one needs is one that enables the human author (a lawyer, a judge, whoever) to enter these as both executable rules AND as publishable documents in a suitable legal format. This and simulation via test cases would bring down the costs of creating and maintaining the rules bases as well as ensuring the concurrency of the published and executable representations of the legal resources. More precisely: in a Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence system, no part can be overlooked or remain unintegrated. My industry is squarely focused on the first three but the improvements in customer performance and in market share are squarely in the fourth part. len From: Bullard, Claude L (Len) There are public safety systems, eg, court systems, that rely on RuleML as a means. Essentially, where ever you might use a human expert, you can apply a rules base (expert system) if you can acquire and maintain the rules cost effectively. That is why some see the Semantic Web as a means to improve the performance of lawyers. len
