Description

  The present invention relates to a method for automatically generating various reports required in the process of amending a bill, and in particular, a draft amendment of a bill based on rules prepared beforehand and the intention of amendment directly revealed by an editor. Alternatively, the present invention relates to a method for automatically generating various reports and the like related to preparation of amendments for the amendment.

  In law-controlled countries, laws are fundamentally used as a means of governance. Therefore, legislation and revisions must be made accurately and promptly. For this reason, perfect accuracy is required to prepare various reports required in the process of establishment and revision of laws and regulations. In order to revise one law (regulation), the procedure shown in Fig. 1 is generally used. First, the subject who felt the need for revision selects the part to be improved based on the current law (regulation) and performs the improvement work. In order to report the revised matters, a draft amendment including the contents of the improvement work (including amended text and new / old text comparison table) is prepared and submitted to the Diet. If the proposed amendment fails to meet the format and various requirements, the amendment must be repeated. Here, the person in charge of the report repeats a simple operation. Once the proposed amendment meets the format and requirements, the legislative standing committee of the Diet will carry out the review of the bill. The revision plan is examined and correction work is performed on the wrong part of the revision plan, or when the content of the revision plan cannot be revised, another revision plan is created as an alternative. When making a revised proposal, a revised text and a revised text clause comparison table (current: revised proposal: revised proposal), a revised revised text, a new and old revised text comparison table must be generated. This kind of work goes through many repeated processes. After such a process, when the revised or amended draft finally passes the review, it is transferred to the government through a procedure such as voting at the plenary session and promulgated. )).

  As for the objects (various reports) that must be created in the process of amending the law in this way, as the documents that must be prepared when the first draft of amendment of the law is submitted, the 'revision text' and the 'new / old text comparison table' Documents created at the time of review of the proposed legal revision include “Amendment text”, “Amendment proposal text comparison table”, “Amendment revision amendment text”, “Amendment reflection new / old text comparison table” and so on. By the way, creating such a report has traditionally been difficult for automated work due to the characteristics of highly structured materials, but in 2000, solution development was intermittent. Attempts have been made, but complex revisions were possible only at the level of being accompanied by human manual work. Recently, in order to consider the case of moving work to change the number of the text, an attempt was made to automatically generate the edited content after receiving it in an event message and storing it. However, this method not only requires a long automated processing time to process a large amount of event messages, but also has a limitation in accurately grasping the work intention of the revision or correction worker, and is generated. The report was not perfect.

  The biggest obstacle to automatic generation of a perfectly accurate report is exactly when the draft of amendments or amendments to the bill is made, the worker's intentions regarding the various amendments to be made for each article are perfect. It is very difficult to grasp accurately. There are five major types of amendments to laws and regulations, namely, “new”, “delete”, “all amendment”, “partial amendment”, and “movement”. Whether the worker has revised a specific article with a certain type of work intention among these five revision types during the revision or amendment of the bill, the subjectivity is very important. strong. Therefore, it is basically impossible to grasp exactly what type of revision the operator's intention is pursuing, with only objective work contents that were performed during the revision work. It is. For example, assume that the user has modified the content of the article in many places but intends to process it with some amendments. However, if the program is designed to grasp the intentions of the worker only with the contents of the work that appeared objectively, if the original text and the revised text are changed by more than a certain percentage, it will be judged as a revision rather than a partial revision. It is reasonable to program in such a way, and according to such a methodology, there is no choice but to produce a report with a result different from the worker's intention.

  In this way, all the information of the editing work performed by the worker is saved as event messages and then used when automatically generating a report. In many cases, the processing speed was reduced and reports different from the user's intentions were often generated. In order to prepare an accurate report, it is necessary to ensure that the revision type intended by the worker can be grasped 100% accurately. In addition to this, standardization of report generation rules is necessary as another requirement necessary for automatic report generation. This is because it is impossible to try to automate work without standards.

  In consideration of some points mentioned above, the present invention displays the intention to amend the editing work performed by the worker who performs the editing work for preparing the amendment of the draft law or the amendment to the amendment. In this way, by accurately grasping the revision type of the law revision worker and applying in advance the rules for generating each report that must be generated, various reports required in the process of law revision can be obtained. An object of the present invention is to provide a method that enables accurate and yet fully automatic generation, and thus standardization of laws and regulations (regulation).

  According to the first aspect of the present invention for achieving the above-described object, a computer automatically generates a revision text of a revised draft for a current law or contract (hereinafter referred to as “current law”). As a method, in response to instructions from the operator regarding the generation of amendment text, an edit screen is provided so that the amendment to amend the current law can be edited based on the current law on the computer screen. The revision stage for saving the revised draft to the memory, the result of the revision of the text, the text that changed from the current law among the text of the revised draft, etc. The revision type display stage for displaying the revision type expression, and the number of consecutive revision types that are the same as the revision type expression displayed in the revision sentence by parsing each clause of the current law and the proposed amendment Analyzing the revision type by analysis and generating a revised sentence having a predetermined format, but using the revised part of the revised draft for the current law and the analyzed revision type, the rules for generating the revised sentence A method for automatically generating a report regarding revision of a law is provided, comprising: automatically generating expression contents of a revised sentence with reference to FIG.

  Further, according to the second aspect of the present invention for achieving the above-mentioned object, a new law between a current law or agreement (hereinafter referred to as “current law”) and a revised proposal for the current law using a computer. As a method of automatically generating the old text comparison table, an amendment plan to revise the current law on the basis of the above-mentioned current law on the computer screen according to the instructions regarding the generation of the new and old text comparison table by the worker. Provide an edit screen so that you can edit the revised draft that is edited and save it in memory, and the result of editing the draft The text changed from the current law in the revised draft On the other hand, for the creator, the revision type display stage that displays the expression of the prescribed revision type for each article unit, and the revised article by parsing each clause of the current law and the proposed amendment. Displayed on Analyzing the expression of the revised type and grasping the revised type, and for each of the current laws and the proposed amendments, the predecessor straight line, the predecessor line, the brothers, themselves , The stage of analyzing the pedigree pedigree that shows what the next generation is, and the new and old text comparison table with the layout of the current law column and the revised proposal column side by side are generated. The contents of the current law column and the revised draft column are automatically referenced by referring to the revised part of the revised draft, the analyzed revision type, and the rules for generating the new and old text comparison tables using the family tree. And a step of automatically generating a report relating to amendments to laws and regulations.

  By using these two methods, it is possible to automatically and accurately generate a revised text and a new / old text comparison table comparing the current law with the revised proposal on the basis of accurately grasping the intention of the creator.

  In the method of the present invention according to the above two aspects, the step of displaying the type of revision includes a step of searching for a revised article having a difference by comparing the proposed amendment with the current law and each article, and each amended revision found. If it is not displayed by checking whether or not the expression of the specified revision type is displayed for the text, an error message is output to the screen for the revision text and the revision type expression is displayed for the worker Inducting the

  As a result, in the stage of grasping the revision type, the current legislation and the amendment proposal are each analyzed by analyzing the contents of the current legislation and the amendment proposal by looking at the “Chapter Section clause clause”. (parsing) to generate a tree structure defined by the key value of the position information of each article and the contents of the article, to grasp the expression of the revised type displayed for each revised article, For the revised provisions whose expression is a partial revision, the stage of detailed analysis of whether the revision type falls under lexical correction, front revision, rear revision, proviso revision, and the same revision type It is desirable to include the step of grasping the number of consecutive times.

  On the other hand, according to the third aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the current law or provisions (hereinafter referred to as “current law”), the amendment to the current law and the amendment As a method of automatically generating a revised sentence between revision proposals, a revision proposal that modifies the revision proposal based on the current law and the revision proposal on the computer screen in accordance with instructions from the operator regarding the generation of the revision sentence. Provide an edit screen for editing, and edit the revised plan to save the edited revised plan in the memory, and the result of editing the clause Is a stage for displaying the type of amendment for the creator to display the expression of the predetermined amendment type, and parsing each of the current law, the amendment and the amendment. Correction Analyzing the number of consecutive correction types that are identical to the expression of the correction type displayed in the sentence to grasp the correction type, and generating a correction sentence having a predetermined format, Automatically generating a revised sentence expression by referring to a revised sentence generation rule using the revised part, the revised part of the revised proposal with respect to the revised proposal, and the analyzed revision type. A method for automatically generating a report on amendments to laws and regulations characterized by the above is provided.

  As a result, according to the fourth aspect of the present invention for achieving the above object, the current law or contract (hereinafter referred to as “the current law”), the amendment to the current law and the amendment It is a method of automatically generating a revised draft text comparison table between revised proposals, and in response to instructions from the operator regarding the creation of a revised draft text comparison table, the revised draft created on the basis of the current law on the computer screen. On the other hand, an edit screen is provided so that an amendment can be edited based on the amendment proposal, an amendment proposal editing stage for storing the amended amendment proposal in memory, Among the texts etc., for the texts that have changed from the above-mentioned amendment proposals, the preparation stage for displaying the expression of the predetermined revision type by the text unit for the creator, the revision proposals and the above-mentioned amendments. Parsing each clause of the draft to analyze the revision type expression displayed in the revised clause to understand the revision type, and for each of the revised draft and the revised draft, Analyzing the pedigree pedigree that shows what the predecessor straight line, the predecessor line, the siblings, yourself, and the next generation are based on oneself, and the current law column, the revision column, and the revision column While generating a revised draft text comparison table of layouts arranged side by side from left to right, the revised part of the revised proposal for the current law, the revised part of the revised proposal for the revised draft, the analyzed revised type, Automatically generating the contents of the current law column, the revised draft column and the revised draft column with reference to the rules for creating the revised draft clause comparison table using the clause family tree. Regarding revision of laws and regulations An automatic report generation method is provided.

  Using the above two methods, the revised text on the basis of accurately grasping the creator's intention for revision and the revised draft clause comparison table comparing the current law, the revised draft, and the revised draft, etc. It can be generated completely automatically.

  In the method of the present invention according to the third and fourth aspects, the step of displaying the type of correction includes a step of searching for a revised text having a difference by comparing the revised proposal with the current law and each article; It is not displayed after searching for the amended text that has a difference in comparison with the revised draft and for each amended text, and whether or not the expression of the predetermined amendment type is displayed for each amended text. In some cases, it is desirable to include a step of outputting an error message to the screen for the correction text to guide the operator to display the correction type expression.

  As a result, in the step of grasping the revision type, the current law, the amendment proposal and the amendment are examined for each of the current law, the amendment proposal and the amendment proposal by looking at the “Chapter Section clause clause item” at the node. Parse the contents of each proposal to generate a tree structure defined by the position information key value of each article and the contents of the article, and grasp the expression of the modification type displayed for each revised article A stage for analyzing in detail whether the revision type corresponds to a lexical revision, front revision, rear revision, or proviso revision, with respect to a revision clause in which the revision type expression is a partial revision, And grasping the number of consecutive times of the same correction type.

  On the other hand, in the method of the present invention according to the first to fourth aspects described above, the display of the expression of the predetermined revision type or the expression of the predetermined correction type is performed at the display stage of the revision type or the display stage of the correction type. In the editing screen, it is possible to select a part or all of the expression of the revision type or the expression of the correction type made by “New”, “Delete”, “All revision”, “Partial revision” and “Move” When the representation of the revised type or the modified type desired by the operator is selected in the menu format, and the representation of the revised type or the revised type in which the cursor is positioned, The selected revision type expression or the corrected type expression is automatically input.

  As a result, in the method of the present invention according to the first to fourth aspects, the revised sentence generation rule or the revised sentence generation rule is prepared according to a predetermined revised sentence creation rule or a revised sentence creation rule, respectively. Prepared in a table form in which a number of basic phrases are associated with a number of revision type codes on a one-to-one basis, the revision type code is determined by combining the number of consecutive revision types identical to the analyzed revision type, The basic phrase is determined so that the content of the revised sentence or the revised sentence is completed by substituting the relevant content into the parameter as an expression sentence having one or more parameters.

  As described above, the present invention performs the editing work on the document in units of articles for the complete automatic generation of the reports in the preparation of the reports related to the establishment and revision of laws and regulations. A report that accurately represents the editing intention of the creator by expressing the author's editing intention (revision classification display) and using the expressed editing information to create a report. You can make a letter.

Effects of the invention

  By using the present invention, it is possible to automatically and completely generate a revised sentence, a new / old article comparison table, a revised sentence, a revised sentence article comparison table, etc., which are reports based on the establishment and revision procedures of laws and regulations. The present invention can also be applied to autonomy laws, regulations, various guidelines, covenants, etc. that are used in the form of laws and regulations.

  The revised text and various comparison tables are completed by expressing the author's intention to edit (indicating the revision category) in a simple manner when establishing or revising in a field that has a format similar to the law, such as laws, regulations, rules, and clauses. Can be generated automatically. In addition, it is possible to provide a processing speed much faster than a method in which all event messages generated during the editing operation of the creator are collected and processed.

  Until now, reports prepared by the authors so as to be different from each other without applying the same rules can be prepared with the same rules with the draft standard. Such standardization can ensure the safety and completeness of laws and regulations.

  In summary, the present invention is applied to the field of preparing laws and regulations (regulations) with enactment / revision procedures when a draft bill needs to be revised, or a report that must be prepared in a similar field. In addition, it is possible to reduce the work by automating simple and repetitive work performed by the person in charge of the report in planning and correction work, etc., and expect the effects of standardization of laws and regulations and cost savings.

  Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  One of the core ideas of the present invention is to display the type of amendment intended by the operator in the amendment so that the intention of the operator can be accurately reflected when preparing the report. It is. For this purpose, it is necessary to express the intention of the worker so that automatic generation satisfying the standard draft is possible on the premise that standard drafts of various reports are prepared. Therefore, it is necessary to standardize the expression indicating the revised type (representation of the revised type). Since laws and regulations (regulations) can be subdivided into units such as 'Hen, Chapter, Section, Subsection, Article, Clause, Issue, Eye, But,' so long as the operator's intention is expressed in each unit, Automatic generation is possible. In addition, the display that can be performed by the operator for each unit must be provided simply and clearly.

  The reports (objects) that the present invention automatically generates are the laws and regulations such as the Constitution-Law-Order-Rule-Ordinance etc. as mentioned before (hereinafter referred to as `` Law ''). The revised text, the new / old text comparison table, the revised text, the revised draft text comparison table, etc. The amended text expresses the part that must be amended with respect to the current law in a narrative form, and FIG. 9 shows the amended text automatically created by a computer using the program embodied according to the method of the present invention. An example is shown. The new / old text comparison table shows the difference between the current law and the revised proposal in the form of a comparison table so that it can be seen at a glance. FIG. 10 shows the current law created using the method of the present invention and this. An example of the new / old text comparison table 60 between the revised proposals is shown. The amended text is prepared for a clear understanding of the amendment when there is an amendment in the examination process for the proposed legal amendment. FIG. 11 is made using the method of the present invention. An example of the corrected sentence 65 is shown. In order to make it easier to grasp the difference between the current law and the revised proposal and the revised proposal when making the revised proposal, generally, a revised draft clause comparison table is made together. FIG. 12 shows the method of the present invention. An example of the amendment proposal text comparison table 70 made by using is shown.

  The creation of such objects is based on rules established on the computer. In order to automatically generate such objects, there is a need to standardize the expression method of these objects, i.e., the report creation rules, and prepare a program and dictionary to automatically generate each object based on it. is necessary. A computer program 100 according to the present invention (hereinafter referred to as an “object automatic generation program”) 100 is implemented by software including various dictionaries 150 and can be executed by a computer. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a software configuration according to the present invention. The target object automatic generation program 100 includes an editing screen user interface (UI) 110, an editing module 120, a parsing module 130, and an automatic report generation module 140. Necessary dictionaries 150 differ depending on the language of each country, but in the case of Korean, the legal title dictionary, spelling method dictionary, division writing dictionary, legal standard term dictionary, each report (revised text, new / old text comparison table, revised text) , The revision rule clause comparison table etc.) and the generation rule dictionary etc. are included.

  The user interface (UI) 110 on the edit screen allows the operator to create (edit) a revised plan based on the current laws on a computer monitor, or to create (edit) a revised plan based on the revised plan. It is something that can be done. Examples of the configuration of the edit screen UI 110 for amending the current law and amending the amendment are shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, respectively.

  In FIG. 3, an exemplary editing screen UI 110 for the revision plan editing operation includes a legal text display area 20 a of the current law, a revised law text display area 30 a, and a user instruction unit 10. The user instruction unit 10 completes the editing process for preparing the revision plan, and the revision type selection unit 12 that provides a function of selecting the expression of the revision type desired by the user and inputting it to a specific position of the revision plan. After that, an object generating unit 14 for automatically generating objects necessary for examination of the amendment draft (revision text, old and new text comparison table, amendment proposal, etc.) is provided. The user directly performs editing operations such as amendment to prepare the amendment draft in the amendment draft legal text display area 30a, and the amendment type selection unit 12 is used in the course of such editing work. Separately, a revised type expression can be input, and after the editing work is completed, the desired object can be generated in the form of a file using the object generation unit 14 and stored in a computer, and can be printed when necessary.

  In FIG. 4, an exemplary editing screen UI110 for editing a revision plan for a revision plan of the current law is almost similar to the revision plan edit screen. However, there is a difference in that the legal text display area further includes a revised legal text display area 40b in addition to the current legal text display area 20b and the revised legal text display area 30b. As a result, the user instruction unit 10-1 includes a modified type selection unit 12-1 and an object generation unit 14-1 that are the same as the revised type selection unit 12, but the object generation unit 14-1 automatically generates the object. Articles (amendments, amendments to the proposed amendments, amendments, amendments to amend amendments, amendments to amendments to amendments to the old and new amendments to the amendments) are different from the amendments.

  There are five types of amendments to laws and regulations, such as new provisions, deletions, partial amendments, full amendments, and movements. In order to accurately grasp the revision intentions of editors, it is necessary to display these revision types in the corresponding text in standardized expressions. As a result, the five types of expressions need to be displayed so as to be distinguished from each other at the same time as the text content. For this purpose, for example, each revision type can be expressed using <>. For example, a new article and a deleted article are expressed as <new> and <deleted> respectively, and a partially revised and a completely revised article are both expressed as <amended>. Article> In the case of partial and full revisions, instead of the expression <revision>, in the case of partial revisions, the revised text shall be displayed, and in the case of full revisions, an underline shall be displayed in the revised text. Alternatively, a display method using a combination of the two methods is also possible. The revised type of expression is ultimately a matter of promise. 30a in FIG. 3 shows an example of an amendment in which an expression of the amendment type is entered by the above promise.

  In relation to the amendment of the attached table, it can be divided into cases where the attached table is composed of a table and not, and when it is composed only of the contents without a table. As illustrated in FIG. 5, when the separate table is not configured in the form of a table, the revision type expression method at the time of the general law revision described above may be followed. If it is organized in a separate table, the revised type is expressed as shown in the table below. FIG. 6 illustrates the display of the revised type expression according to this method.

  The revision type selection unit 12 prepares such an expression of the revision type in the editing screen UI 110 in advance. In the revision type selection section 12 that the operator wishes with the cursor positioned in the corresponding clause of the revision plan 30a, among the five revision types of expression of 'new establishment, deletion, partial revision, full revision, movement', When one of them is selected by clicking with the mouse, the selected revision type expression is automatically input at the designated position in the corresponding article. As a result, if the revision type is 'Move', the expression automatically entered in the relevant article of the revised proposal is <previous article>, so the worker directly enters the relevant article number before the move. There is a need. Of course, it is also possible for the worker to input the expression of the revision type by typing directly every time, or in the case of partial or full revision, the corresponding part can be underlined.

  As with the revision type, there are five revision types of laws and regulations: 'new establishment, deletion, partial revision, full revision, move'. Therefore, it is desirable that the input method of the modified type expression is the same as the input method of the revised type expression described above (see the modified type selection unit 12-1 in FIG. 4). The explanation regarding the input of the correction type of the law and the correction type expression is omitted.

  An object generation unit 14 is provided for instructing an operation of generating a report and saving it as a file after completing the editing work of the revision plan. In the case of a revised draft, the revised text, the new / old text comparison table, and the revised draft are provided as objects that can be generated, as can be seen in FIG. Objectives that can be generated after the revision of the amendment is completed, that is, the type of report is amended, as shown in Fig. 4 There are revisions that reflect the changes, and comparison tables that reflect the revisions of the new and old articles. When the user clicks the desired object button among the objects displayed in the object generation unit 14-1, the user is asked for the storage folder and file name of the object. When a value is input to indicate work progress, processing for generating and storing the target object is performed.

  The editing module 120 is useful for editing a document including various editing functions such as correction, deletion, movement, copying, cutting, pasting, selecting, replacing, etc. like a general document editor program. Including various known functions. The editing module 120 displays the laws to be prepared for the revision plan in the 'current law' column 20a and the 'revision plan' column 30a in exactly the same manner as the initial screen of the revision work editing screen. The operator can edit the revised plan in the form desired in the revised plan column 30a on the initial screen. Eventually, while editing the specific article, the worker enters the amended type expression suitable for the amended type of the article at the position promised by using the amended type selection unit 12 as described above. Perform editing tasks such as In order to make it easy for the worker who has performed the revision work to identify the revised article, the revised article in the revised proposal column 30b is displayed with a shade of a specific color and responds to it. It is also good to have a specific indication, such as an underline, for the current laws and regulations. The editing module 120 also has a function of guiding the creator to display a predetermined revision type expression for each text unit for text that has changed from the current law in the text of the revised text editing result draft. . Specifically, the editing module 120 compares the proposed amendment with the current law and searches for a revised text that has a difference, and if there is no representation of the type of revision for each revised text that is found. Judging that it is wrong, an error message is output on the screen for such a revised article, and the operator is guided to display the revised type expression. The same applies to the expression of the correction type. The editing module 120 also saves the revised draft edited on the editing screen in the computer memory.

  The parsing module 130 analyzes the revision type by parsing each clause of the current law and the revised proposal and analyzing the number of consecutive revision types that are the same as the representation of the revision type displayed in the revision clause. Provide the function to do. The same applies to the proposed amendments.

  After completing the editing work in the revision plan column 30a, the desired object (revision text, new / old text comparison table, revision plan, etc.) can be automatically generated and saved in the computer storage device. The automatic generation module 140 provides such a function. The automatic generation module 140 automatically generates and stores each object according to instructions from the operator. Refer to the generation rule dictionary for each report for the basic phrases and expressions necessary for creating each report. Details will be described later.

Revision Text Automatic Generation Method FIG. 7 shows a procedure for automatically generating a revision text. This is also the procedure for automatically generating corrected sentences. If the creator of the revised plan runs an automatic report generation program, the revised plan is first displayed with the revised version of the current law 20a and the same content as shown in FIG. Display the edited screen on the monitor. On this editing screen, the creator edits the revised proposal and displays the revised type for the revised text (S110). When the creator instructs the generation of the revised text, the revised text stored in the memory of the computer uses the spelling law dictionary and the split-dictionary dictionary, and the legal standard terminology dictionary, etc. Whether or not there is a violation of the standard is examined, the result is notified to the creator, and the correction is made correctly (S120).

  In addition, a process for displaying an expression of the revised type for the revised text is performed (S130). For this purpose, the revised draft is compared with the current laws and regulations to find the revised clause. And if it is not displayed by checking whether or not the expression of the predetermined revision type is displayed for each revised article that has been found out, the expression of the revised type has not been displayed for that revised article. Print a notification error message on the screen. The author confirms the error message and corrects the error so that the revised text cannot be expressed in the revised text. The preceding work for generating the revised sentence is performed by the function provided by the editing module 120.

  After going through this process, parsing each clause of the current law and the revised proposal, analyzing the number of consecutive revision types that are the same as the representation of the revised type displayed in the revised clause, and Perform the work of analyzing. Specifically, for each of the current law and the revised proposal, the ʻChapter / Clause / Clause Item No.` is looked at as a node to parse the structure of the whole article (S140). Each node of the tree structure is composed of a clause position information key value and a clause content. The parsing module 130 also grasps what the revision type expression displayed for each revision text is, and then responds to the revision text whose revision type expression is a partial revision. We will further analyze in detail whether the revision type falls under lexical revision, front revision, rear revision, or proviso revision. In order to generate a revised sentence, it is necessary to further grasp the continuous number of times of the same revised type, and this operation is also handled by the parsing module 130 (S150).

  Information that can identify the basic phrases registered in the revised sentence generation rule dictionary through the above work and the basic phrases (the contents displayed in the item 'Expression method' in the revised sentence generation rules below) Information that can assign the relevant contents (legal text number, legal text content, etc.) to the parameter is secured.

  Therefore, the next procedure performs the step of automatically generating the expression content of the revised sentence by referring to the revised sentence generation rule dictionary using the revised part of the draft amendment to the current law and the analyzed revision type (S160). . The revised sentence generation rule dictionary is created in the form of a table by analyzing in detail the revision drafting principle determined by the executive government or legislature. This reflects all of the revision sentence of the complex revision, the revised sentence expression principle when the revised sentence is consolidated.

  In accordance with these principles, the rules for creating new sentences, deletions, full revisions, partial revisions, and revisions when moving are as follows.

  (1) New establishment

1) General principles a. In the case of newly establishing the following items, the position of the predecessor of the newly established article (article, paragraph, issue) is clearly indicated, and in the case of an article, the position is not clearly indicated.

    B. If the second term is newly established without a term, the existing rules will automatically become the first term.

    C. If the position of the text is uncertain and causes chaos when only a new system is adopted when a new section is established, the position of the chapter can be made clear before the newly established section.

    D. When a new issue or eye is created in a sentence that has no issue or eye, it is referred to as “Each issue” or “Each eye”.

    E. When an eye is designated, it is not designated “first eye, second eye” or the like, but “first eye, second eye” or the like.

    F. In this case, it will be displayed in parentheses () near the eyes without a separate clause designation.

    1) If the unit is newly established, the following expression method is applied.

    2) The following expression method is applied in the case of newly established 2 units.

    3) Revisions such as proviso

(5) Movement of the provisions The rules for preparing the amendments when moving the provisions are as follows.

  The revised text making rules mentioned above contain most of the typical and general rules, but not the whole. Based on the disclosed rules, the generation rules that are not mentioned above can be easily determined. As a result, the above revised text preparation rules are based on the laws and regulations revision principle of the Republic of Korea. Since each country has different legal revision principles, it is necessary to prepare separate rules for preparing revised sentences according to the legal revision principles of each country.

The revised sentence generation rules are created in the revised sentence generation rule dictionary in the form of a table in which many basic phrases (expression methods) etc. prepared by the revised sentence creation rules mentioned above are associated with many revision type codes on a one-to-one basis. It is done. The revision type code is determined by combining consecutive revision types that are the same as the revision type analyzed in steps S140 and S150, and the basic phrases corresponding to the determined revision type code are read from the revision sentence generation rule dictionary. Come on. The basic phrase is one or more parameters (for example, “1” in the section above), which is the basic phrase of the first expression method “Make“ ”in the section“ ””. Between “No.” and “Article” and quotes (“
)) Each corresponds to one parameter. The basic phrases of other expression methods are also the same.), But assigns the corresponding contents to the parameters included in the basic phrases 9 completes the contents of the revised text (S160) The revised text 50 illustrated in FIG.9 is automatically generated based on the revised text in the revised text field 30a of FIG. It is.

  As a result, the automatically generated revision 35 is saved in a computer hard disk or the like in the form of a file by referring to the file generation position and file name specified by the operator by clicking the revision button on the object generation unit 14. (S170). Through this process, the revised sentence automatic generation work is completed.

New / Old Article Comparison Table Automatic Generation Method FIG. 8 shows an automatic generation procedure of the new / old article comparison table and the revised proposal article comparison table. The new / old text comparison table 60 has a layout in which the current law column 60a and the revised plan column 60b are arranged side by side as illustrated in FIG. In order to automatically generate such a new / old text comparison table 60, first, steps S100 to S150 of the revised sentence automatic generation procedure that has been described with reference to FIG. 7 are performed.

  In order to create the new / old text comparison table 60, what is the predecessor straight line, the predecessor line, the siblings, yourself, and the progeny for each of the current laws and amendments, based on each rule Article family tree information indicating whether or not For this purpose, a procedure for analyzing the pedigree pedigree for each of the current law and the revised proposal is performed using the tree structure obtained in the parsing process (S175). Definitions of terms used for reference in the pedigree pedigree are as follows. However, the upper / lower relations are judged based on each of the articles, paragraphs, issues, eyes, and each.

  After the analysis of the pedigree pedigree is completed, it is registered in the dictionary 150 using the revised portion of the proposed amendment to the current law, which is analyzed by the parsing module 130, the analyzed revise type, and the pedigree pedigree. The contents of the current law column 60a and the revision plan column 60b are automatically generated with reference to the new / old article comparison table generation rule dictionary (S180). As a result, the new / old text comparison table 60 automatically generated in this way is displayed in a file format according to the file generation position and file name designated by the operator by clicking the new / old text comparison table button of the object generation unit 14. It is stored on the hard disk of the computer (S200).

  The rules for generating new and old comparison tables for each type of revision are as follows.

  (1) New establishment

  In the case of establishing a new legal text, the current laws and amendments are expressed as follows according to the position of the text.

  (2) Revision

1) All revisions When all of the laws and regulations are revised, the current laws and amendments are expressed as follows according to the position of the revised laws and regulations.

2) Partial amendment When amending a part of the legal provisions, the current laws and amendments are expressed as follows according to the position of the revised legal provisions.

(4) Movement When moving the legal provisions, the current laws and amendments are expressed as follows according to the position of the legal provisions to be moved.

Automatic revision text generation method On the other hand, based on the current law, amendment and amendment, the automatic generation of amendment is almost the same as the method of automatically creating the amendment based on the current law explained above. . That is, the comparison between the current law and the amendment and the comparison between the amendment and the amendment are performed, and in each comparison, the amendment generation principle described above is used.

  The revised sentence creation procedure is similar to the revised sentence creation procedure of FIG. As shown in FIG. 4, the editing screen includes a current law field 20b, a revised draft field 30b created based on this, and a revised draft field 40b for the revised draft 30b. It is desirable to provide a layout arranged in three stages. In the first editing screen, the contents of the revision plan column 30b and the revision plan column 40b are given in the same way. In other words, the expression of the revision type displayed in the revision plan and the revised portion displayed in shades of a specific color are displayed as they are in the revision plan column 40b. The operator of the correction plan may perform the text editing for preparing the correction plan in the correction plan column 40b. As a result of such amendment work, among the provisions etc. of the amendment proposal 40b, for the provisions that have changed from the current law 20b or the amendment proposal 30b, the author uses the amendment type selection section 12-1 for each article. Separately, an expression of a predetermined correction type is displayed (S110). Along with the display of the correction type expression, in order to make it easy for the operator to identify the correction part, a shadow of a specific color is also displayed for the contents corrected when compared with the current law or amendment It is better to do this (however, the shade of the color is different from the case of the revised proposal). Steps S120 and S130 are performed in the same manner as when the revised sentence is created. Next, for each amendment and amendment, an analysis of the family tree showing what the predecessor, the predecessor, the siblings, the self, and the progeny are based on themselves. (S140). As a result, after the display of the modified type expression is completed, each sentence of the current law 20b, the revised plan 30b, and the revised plan 40b is parsed, and the modified type expression displayed in the revised article is analyzed and corrected. The type is grasped (S150).

  After the above procedure, the contents of the modified sentence are automatically generated with reference to the predefined modified sentence generation rule dictionary (S160). Although the revised sentence generation rule is slightly the same as the revised sentence generation rule, it is almost the same, so a detailed description thereof will be omitted. FIG. 11 exemplarily shows a modified sentence 65 automatically generated by such a method. As a result, the automatically generated corrected sentence 65 is in the form of a file according to the file generation position and file name designated by the operator by clicking the corrected sentence button of the object generating unit 14-1 on the editing screen of FIG. It is stored on the hard disk of the computer (S200).

Method for automatically generating amendment draft text comparison table The amendment text comparison table 70 has a layout in which the current law column 70a, the amendment plan column 70b, and the amendment plan column 70c are juxtaposed from left to right as illustrated in FIG. Have. The amended draft text comparison table 70 can be easily generated by comparing the current law 70a with the revised proposal 70c and comparing the revised proposal 70b with the revised proposal 70c and using the generation method of the new and old text contrast table 60 described above. can do.

  The rules for generating a general amendment text comparison table for each type of legal text revision are as follows.

  (1) In the case of enactment or full revision, it consists of two stages (original draft: amendment), and in the case of partial revision, it consists of three stages (current: amendment: amendment).

  (2) The rules for preparing the amended draft text comparison table are the same as the rules for creating the new and old text contrast table at the time of the proposal.

(3) Predecessors, no siblings, progenies with no amendments 1) Establishment or full amendment (compared to two steps): draft-(omitted), amendment column-(same as draft)
2) At the time of partial revision (compared to 3 steps): Revision proposal column-(omitted), revision plan column-(same as revision proposal)

(4) Display method based on the number of default clauses 1) In case of establishment or complete revision (compared to two steps)

2) In case of partial revision (compared to 3 steps)

  Next, the peculiar matters related to the rules for generating the revised draft text comparison table are as follows.

  (1) The amendment proposal text comparison table is generated at the time of preparing the amendment proposal for the partially amendment bill, and is displayed in three stages of 'current law 70a: amendment 70b: amendment 70c'.

(2) Display of the revised part The principle revision proposal 70b and the revision proposal 70c are compared, and both are displayed boldly for the revised part. Further, the remaining part of the revision plan 70b maintains the existing revision display as it is.

(3) When the content not amended by the amendment proposal is amended by the amendment proposal, the display principle is first. In the case of the current law, the content of the current law is described and the part to be amended is displayed.
Second, in the case of a revision proposal, the contents to be revised are described and displayed.

  (4) Other general rules are the same as the labeling principle of the new / old text comparison table.

  On the other hand, the procedure for generating the revised draft text comparison table is simply written as follows. After the revision plan operator completes editing the revision plan 40c on the editing screen of FIG. 4, when the object creation unit 14-1 instructs the creation of the revision plan clause comparison table, the object creation program responds accordingly. Steps S110 to S175 of FIG. 8 are performed on the revision proposal 40c. As a result, the amended part of the amendment to the current law, the amended part of the amendment to the amendment, the analyzed amendment type, and the amended amendment prepared in advance using the article family tree The contents of the current law column 70a, the revision plan column 70b, and the revision plan column 70c are automatically generated in the form illustrated in FIG. 12 with reference to the comparison table generation rules (S190). As a result, the automatically generated amended draft text comparison table 70 includes the file generation position designated by the operator by clicking the amendment text text comparison table button of the object creation unit 14-1 on the editing screen of FIG. According to the file name, it is saved in a hard disk or the like of the computer in the form of a file (S200).

  On the other hand, among the objects that can be automatically generated by using the method of the present invention, the revision proposal and the revision proposal are the contents of the revision proposal 30a and the revision proposal 40b determined on the editing screens of FIGS. Is the same. As a result, the amendment reflection amendment and the amendment reflection old and new article comparison table are the same as the preparation method of the amendment sentence and the old and new article comparison table, respectively.

  In the above, a preferred embodiment of the present invention has been described by taking the process of revision of laws and regulations of the Republic of Korea as an example. Those skilled in the field of description can easily implement various methods for automatically generating various reports required in the process of revision of laws in other countries based on the above explanation.

For example, the method of expressing the revised type described above is only an example, and any type of revised type can be used if it is possible to distinguish between the revised types and the contents of the article. can do. As a result, if the current law and the contents of the revised proposal are compared, it is possible to automatically search for newly established or deleted articles, so it is desirable to include such a function in the automatic object generation program. It is assumed that the program is presumed to be a newly established or deleted article even if the editor is newly established or the revised type is not expressed in the applicable article of the revised draft for the deleted article. By automatically searching and displaying, it is possible to perform more accurate revision type expression work. Eventually, the revision procedures and methods of laws and regulations, the type and format of required reports, and the method of expressing content may differ from country to country. Obviously, ideas can be easily applied through simple modifications. Therefore, it should be clarified that all changes and the like belonging to the equivalent meaning and scope of the claims belong to the scope of the right of the present invention.
