“The EU-funded project Lynx focuses on the creation of a knowledge graph for the legal domain (Legal Knowledge Graph, LKG) and its use for the semantic processing, analysis and enrichment of documents from the legal domain. This article describes the use cases covered in the project, the entire developed platform and the semantic analysis services that operate on the documents.”

• The EU project Lynx develops and uses a knowledge graph in and for the legal domain. To our knowledge, this is the first time a comprehensive knowledge graph for the legal domain has been designed, populated and used in concrete pilot applications.
• The legal knowledge graph includes both linguistic and semantic information. It ties together large numbers of legal documents that are relevant for the pilot use cases. In addition, the legal knowledge graph is multilingual so that it is able to capture the complex legal landscape in the multilingual Europe area.
• The semantic processing and analysis of legal documents in the different use cases benefits from the legal knowledge graph.
• With the help of a workflow manager we are able to combine various processing services to create more complex tasks in the legal domain. This approach is, among others, used to populate the legal knowledge graph…”
