The use of deontic logic allows a forceful restatement of Arrow's difficulty in social choice:
2
The automatic detection of deontic operators can be a useful step to support Clinical Guidelines encoding.
3
An exemplaric deontic result is:
4
As a result, 95.5% of the occurrences of deontic expressions are correctly marked up.
5
In this paper, we present a novel approach to structure Clinical Guidelines through the automatic recognition of syntactic expressions called deontic operators.
6
We defined a grammar and a set of Finite-State Transition Networks (FSTN) to automatically recognize deontic operators in Clinical Guidelines.
7
Moral consistency is reflected in the Deontic Axiom:
