From Text to Model to Execution: A Literature Review on Methods for Creating Conceptual Models from Legal Regulations

Nguyen, Binh An Patrick; Scholta, Hendrik

Zusammenfassung

Public organizations rely on legal regulations because the regulations specify the services that public organizations offer. To cope with the complexity of their services and information systems, public organizations can make use of conceptual models that depict the relevant aspects for the design of services and systems. Since most of the existing work on the intersection between legal regulations and conceptual modelling has been published more than a decade ago, but the topic is still of high relevance for public organizations, we aim to initiate new research in this area. For this purpose, we systematically review methods in the academic literature that create conceptual models from legal regulations. We analyse 40 methods, identify gaps in the literature such as a lack of model integration, and make suggestions to address these gaps. Our work helps scholars to find inspiration for future research activities and practitioners can identify suitable methods for implementation in their systems.
