As EU law is more complex, different types of applicability have to be developed, in particular on the validity and the direct applicability of the act. As the work for restructuring such a huge database as EUR-Lex is quite high, a (semi)automatic solution has to be developed in order to pursue this approach. Additional research is necessary for deining the various layers of validity and applicability. tERmINOLOGy At present, four instruments of terminology are available in EUR-Lex: the Eurovoc thesaurus, classiication headings, subject matters and case-law directory code. the best legal quality can be found in the case-law directory code. quite useful classes of legislation are available with the classiication headings. the Eurovoc thesaurus has its usefulness in general searching. however, weaknesses are evident in legal searches due to an insuficient number of legal concepts. thus, Eurovoc should be extended with a lexical ontology that contains the required high number of legal terms. A conceptual structure must also be developed for these terms. Such an instrument would greatly improve linguistic support for searching. Deinitions of and relations between the concepts would help lay users and less-experienced lawyers. Such a terminology could be used for a reinement of queries, cross-linguistic retrieval and a multipurpose dictionary. So far, lexical ontologies on European law have been limited to speciic purposes (e.g. the LOIS project). A full-scale lexical ontology would require a high level of resources that need a stronger focus of lawyers on terminology questions. thus, hopes rest on (semi)automatic analysis in order to extract the suficient number of concepts from a representative text corpus. CONCLUSIONS today, EUR-Lex is an excellent text provider but an insuficient metacontent provider. the main reason is that legal ontologies are insuficiently developed for such a large application. It is not advisable to move immediately to a full-scale legal ontology. Intermediate steps are very helpful and much easier to take. Examples are the described navigators: legislative/juridical, citations, layers of the legal order and terminology. 01_2007_5222_txt_ML.indd 148 6-12-2007 15:14:03
