• Sommario/riassunto: "This collection examines case-based reasoning in constitutional adjudication, that is, how courts decide on constitutional cases by referring to their own prior case law and the case law of other national, foreign and international courts. Argumentation based on judicial authority is now fundamental to the resolution of constitutional disputes. At the same time, it is the most common form of reasoning used by courts. This volume shows not only the strengths and weaknesses of such argumentation, but also its serious methodological shortcomings. The book is comparative in nature, with individual chapters examining similar problems that different courts have resolved in different ways. The research covers three types of courts, namely the civil law constitutional courts of Germany, Italy, Poland, Lithuania, and Hungary, the common law supreme courts of the United States, Canada, and Australia, and the European international courts represented by the European Court of Human Rights, and the Court of Justice of the European Union"-- Provided by the publisher.

• Sommario/riassunto: This book covers the basics of semantic web technologies and indexing languages, and describes their contribution to improve methods of formal knowledge representation and reasoning. The methodologies included combine the specifics of indexing languages, Web representation languages and intersystem relations, and explain their contribution to search functionalities in information retrieval scenarios. An example oriented discussion, considering aspects of conceptual and semantic interoperability in processes of subject querying and knowledge exploration is provided. The book is relevant to information scientists, knowledge workers and indexers. It provides a suitable combination of theoretical foundations and practical applications.
