Exploring Usability in Regulatory Information Extraction Process

In recent years, there has been a growing regulatory burden on information systems. Simultaneously, the process of implementing these regulations remains a cumbersome activity. This paper addresses the complexity of developing a practical regulatory knowledge modelling process for semi-automated compliance assessment in the context of information systems. A proposed practical lightweight ontology and its information extraction process are designed to address these challenges, with a focus on practical usability. While serving as a validation providing preliminary feedback for artefact refinement, this pilot study yields promising initial results. The iterative and participatory methodology applied in developing the information extraction process demonstrates effectiveness, particularly in idealised scenarios, laying the foundation for future refinement and enhancement. Future investigations will explore the usability implications of collaborative efforts between legal experts and technicians, aiming to validate modelling capacity across diverse information types, including essential technical aspects.
