-===== Linked Product Liability Data (LPLD) =====
+This is a [[event:2013-09|LegalHack@OKCon 2013]] challenge
-**Goal**
+====== Linked Product Liability Data (LPLD) ======
-This is project laugh by SwissRe during the [[event:2013-09|LegalHack@OKCon 2013]] challenge aims to build a Linked Data repository that aggregates data about liability regimes in products liability.
+This project aims to build a Linked Data repository containing information about regimes in product liability.
-**Implementation**
+=== Hackathon goals ===
-  * //Step 1//: An existing legal ontology (to be determined) is used and extended to model the different legal theories used to establish a link between plaintiff and defendant.
+It is a proof of concept. We would like to investigate and define a systematic approach to collect the data, if possible in an automatic way.
-  * (optional): a vizualisation could be done to offer a didactic overview of what product liability is
-  * A triple store is set. Starting from the defined ontology, the triple store is then populated with  information about different applicable legal product liability theories. This is done by venue (country, state or province) and other criteria (e.g. type of product).
-  * A simple RESTfull API can be defined on top of the SPARQL-Endpoint to querry information about product liability.
-**Extra goal**
-Determine anticipated changes to applicable legal theories
+=== Some possible practical steps ===
-**Examples of results**
+  - An existing standard legal ontology has to be found
+  - The ontology is then extended with the needed concepts in order to be able to model the different legal theories used to establish a link between plaintiff and defendant.
+  - (optional): a vizualisation could be done to offer a didactic overview of what product liability is
+  - A [[http://dydra.com/alogean/lpld|triple store]] is set.
+  - Starting from the defined ontology, the triple store is then populated with  information about different applicable legal product liability theories. This is done by venue (country, state or province) and other criteria (e.g. type of product) and could look like this:
-Strict liability applicable in Germany for damages caused by products sold to consumers without further processing
+^ Jurisdiction   ^ Subcontext ^ Valid as of ^ Strict applicable ^ Type of negligence  ^ Comment ^
-Strict liability cause of action not available in North Carolina - contributory negligence applies.
+| Germany        | -          | -           | yes  | ?                       |         |
+| Germany        | chemical   | -           | no   | ?                       |         |
+| Germany        | Food       |  2010       | yes  | ?                       |         |
+| North Carolina | -          |             | yes  | contributory negligence |         |
+| ...            | ...        | ....        | ...  | ...                     | ...     |
