论文摘要
合同是商业和社会的重要组成部分，旨在阐明多个政党之间的协议。尽管数字技术有助于自动化与签约相关的许多活动，但合同本身主要继续以非结构化的自然语言文本的形式进行。这限制了提高生产率和自动化的范围，以及新业务模型的出现。为此，本文研究了可计算合同的概念作为人类和计算机都可以理解的对象，并继续提出一个框架，该框架统一了一系列技术和方法，这些技术和方法共同有助于使可计算的合同成为现实。
Contracts are an essential and fundamental component of commerce and society, serving to clarify agreement between multiple parties. While digital technologies have helped to automate many activities associated with contracting, the contracts themselves continue, in the main, to be in the form of unstructured, natural-language text. This limits the scope for improvements in productivity and automation, as well as the emergence of new business models. To this end, this paper examines the concept of computable contracts as objects that are understandable by both humans and computers, and goes on to present a framework that unifies a range of technologies and approaches that collectively will help to make computable contracting a reality.
