Abstract This paper describes CLIME, a web-based legal advisory system with a multilingual natural language interface. CLIME is a ‘proof-of-concept’ system which answers queries relating to ship-building and ship-operating regulations. Its core knowledge source is a set of such regulations...

It has often been said that the internet lacks public property. Unlike the offline world, denizens of cyberspace cannot gather in the digital equivalent of public parks, cannot shame websites by picketing on adjacent cyber-sidewalks, and cannot loiter in online...

The data science technologies of artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), big data and behavioral/predictive analytics, and blockchain are poised to revolutionize government and create a new generation of GovTech start-ups. The impact from the ‘smartification’ of public services...
