  Despite the availability of vast amounts of data, legal data is often
unstructured, making it difficult even for law practitioners to ingest and
comprehend the same. It is important to organise the legal information in a way
that is useful for practitioners and downstream automation tasks. The word
ontology was used by Greek philosophers to discuss concepts of existence,
being, becoming and reality. Today, scientists use this term to describe the
relation between concepts, data, and entities. A great example for a working
ontology was developed by Dhani and Bhatt. This ontology deals with Indian
court cases on intellectual property rights (IPR) The future of legal
ontologies is likely to be handled by computer experts and legal experts alike.
