Legal Aspects for Digital Preservation Domain

Through the use of ontologies the communication can be improved, which, in turn, can give rise to greater reuse, sharing, transparency, and inter-operability. Every digital preservation activity must ensure the authenticity and legitimacy of the performed actions and processes. Hence to validate the correctness of our legal ontology we used a set of competency questions defined in a specific case study. The goal is to obtain a clearer taxonomical view of the necessary legal knowledge that will address the concerns of industrial use-case digital preservation stakeholders.
