The papers are organized in topical sections on Web information modeling; payment and security; information extraction; advanced applications; performance issues; linkage analysis and document clustering; Web caching and content analysis; XML query processing; Web search and personalization; workflow management and enterprise information systems; business processes; deep Web and dynamic content; Web information systems design; ontologies and applicatoins; multimedia, user interfaces, and languages; and peer-to-peer and grid systems.
In this volume, scholars explore and discuss current issues in Theoretical Legal Linguistics (TLL) and Applied Legal Linguistics (ALL), contributing to the growing body of international research in the field. Focus is placed on the interconnected skills, tasks and approaches to the study of legal language in its plethora of facets as presented at the first international conference and the second International Legal Linguistics Workshop (ILLWS19) of the Austrian Association for Legal Linguistics. The articles present research in the areas of contract interpretation, bijuralism, the European Reference Language System, clear language and communication in legal settings, issues in legal semantics, plain legal language in multilingual legislative drafting, legal language teaching, light verb constructions in legal German, forensic linguistic expert testimony, deontic modality in legislative drafting, migration and legal language, appeals in Russian and their qualification as language crimes, and graduation in the use of force statutes. The concepts, methods, and findings offer valuable insights into current research in legal linguistics.

Semantics, Web services, and Web processes promise better re-use, universal interoperability and integration. Semantics has been recognized as the primary tool to address the challenges of a broad spectrum of heterogeneity and for improving automation through machine understandable descriptions. Semantic Web Services, Processes and Applications brings contributions from researchers who study, explore and understand the semantic enabling of all phases of semantic Web processes. This encompasses design, annotation, discovery, choreography and composition. Also this book presents fundamental capabilities and techniques associated with ontological modeling or services, annotation, matching and mapping, and reasoning. This is complemented by discussion of applications in e-Government and bioinformatics. Special bulk rates are available for course adoption through Publishing Editor.
This volume explores new interfaces between linguistics and jurisprudence. Its theoretical and methodological importance lies in showing that many questions asked within the field of language and law receive satisfactory answers from formal linguistics. The book starts with a paper by the two editors in which they explain why the volume - as a whole and with its individual papers - is an innovation in the field of language and law. In addition, an overview about the most important research projects on language and law is given. The first chapter of the book is on understanding the law. Jurists and laypersons always ask for the precise meaning of a certain piece of the law. In linguistics, th...
Mediale Nutzungsrechte stellen eine potenzielle Kernressource von Rundfunkunternehmen dar. Wirtschaftliche, rechtliche, fachliche und technische Entwicklungen bedingen deren verstarkte Potenzialerhaltung und Weiterentwicklung. Das Rechte- und Lizenzmanagement ubernimmt diese Aufgabe, kann aber ohne umfangreiche IT-Unterstutzung den gestellten Anforderungen nicht mehr gerecht werden. Der vorliegende Band befasst sich mit dem Praxisproblem des IT-gestutzten Rechte- und Lizenzmanagements im Rundfunk und leitet daraus Forschungsfragen der Wirtschaftsinformatik ab. Mit der Erstellung eines Referenzmodells und dessen Evaluierung durch Experten der Branche, der Vorstellung innovativer Ansatze und der Definition von Vorgaben fur eine technische Umsetzung leistet er einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Losung des Problems.
