REPRESENTING LEGAL INSTRUMENTS AS A SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK

摘要

Systems and methods for representing legal obligations, conditions, and other contractual specifications as a software framework are described. Systems and methods may include receiving initiation input; accessing an initial node including one or more logical structures and links to one or more tables of states and values; requesting initial input; receiving initial input; accessing at least one of the one or more tables of states and values to determine if a calculation is required; and performing a calculation based on the initial input from the user to determine an initial value or receiving an initial value from the at least one of the one or more tables of states and values. Subsequent nodes may be accessed until a final node is reached. A software framework may be compiled based on the calculations in each accessed node of the logical framework.

主权项

1. A computerized method comprising the steps of:
receiving initiation input from a user regarding a type of software for development, wherein the software represents a legal instrument as a logical framework; accessing an initial node of the logical framework based on the initiation input, wherein the initial node comprises one or more logical structures and links to one or more tables of states and values; requesting at least one initial input to initiate the initial node; receiving initial input from the user in response to the request; accessing at least one of the one or more tables of states and values to determine if a calculation is required based on the initial input; and performing, by one or more processors, a calculation based on the initial input from the user to determine an initial value or receiving, by one or more processors, an initial value from the at least one of the one or more tables of states and values.
