An Ontology Reference Model for Normative Acts

Normative Acts are important legislative and regulatory documents made by different governmental organs. Every year, a huge amount of information is provided in Normative Acts by these organs without control, i.e., there is no effective way to verify redundancies, inconsistencies, crossimpact and ambiguities. In this paper, we propose a domain ontology for Normative Acts based on official documents (the Brazilian Constitution and the Redaction Manual of the Presidency of the Republic) as a reference model that can be used to improve communication, interoperation and automation of Normative Acts. The reference model is built with a highly expressive wellfounded language within a methodology that ensures its quality.
