-===== Linked Product Liability Data (LPLD) =====
+This is a [[event:2013-09|LegalHack@OKCon 2013]] challenge
-===== Project description =====
+====== Linked Product Liability Data (LPLD) ======
-This project, started by the [[event:2013-09|LegalHack@OKCon 2013]], aims to build a Linked Data repository containing information about liability regimes in products liability.
+This project aims to build a Linked Data repository containing information about regimes in product liability.
-==== Possible implementation steps ====
-  * An existing standard legal ontology has to be found and and 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.
+=== Hackathon goals ===
-  * (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
+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.
-==== Examples of results ====
+=== Some possible practical steps ===
-  * Strict liability applicable in Germany for damages caused by products sold to consumers without further processing
+  - An existing standard legal ontology has to be found
-  * Strict liability cause of action not available in North Carolina - contributory negligence applies.
+  - 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:
+^ Jurisdiction   ^ Subcontext ^ Valid as of ^ Strict applicable ^ Type of negligence  ^ Comment ^
+| Germany        | -          | -           | yes  | ?                       |         |
+| Germany        | chemical   | -           | no   | ?                       |         |
+| Germany        | Food       |  2010       | yes  | ?                       |         |
+| North Carolina | -          |             | yes  | contributory negligence |         |
+| ...            | ...        | ....        | ...  | ...                     | ...     |
+  - Bonus points: determine anticipated changes to applicable legal theories
