Abstract
Getting intercultural collaborators to understand critically about the commonalities and differences between local and foreign copyright legal knowledge is important in order to facilitate cross-cultural interaction, learning and appreciation for worldwide resource-sharing. However it is difficult due to copyright knowledge representation nation-dependent. In this paper, starting from intention theory, the intention behind law is modeled, which can be used to reflect the essential meanings of copyright law articles derived from different countries, as well as the approach in which we can clarify the commonalities and differences of international copyright laws. A conceptualization system has been developed to provide semantic level representation for processing, modeling copyright knowledge and maintaining consistency using ontological technology.
