In this talk we present an approach for legal knowledge representation and reasoning within a *Linked Open Data framework*. It is based on the distinction between provisions and norms and it is able to provide advanced reasoning facilities for advanced *legal information retrieval* (like implementing Hohfedian reasoning) and *legal compliance checking for deontic notions*. It is also shown how the approach can handle norm defeasibility. Such methodology is implemented by decidable fragments of *OWL 2*, while legal reasoning is implemented by available decidable reasoners.
