In this paper we present an overview of the PhD thesis, which aims to show the feasibility of a legal knowledge modeling based on the definitions included into legal texts using Semantic Web techniques in order to check compliance of tender documents to EU Directives. We show a hybrid approach, i.e. a theory and a system that combine the use of Akoma-Ntoso standard to describe legal texts, OWL 2.0 for modeling legal concepts and the emerging LegalRuleML standard for providing a rule-based extension of legal knowledge representation on the top of ontologies.
