locating related regulations using a comparative analysis approach
The sheer volume and complexity of government regulations make any attempt to locate, understand and interpret the information a daunting task. Other factors, such as the scattered distribution of the regulations across many sources, different terminologies and cross referencing, further complicate the technical issues in developing a regulation information management system. This paper describes a comparative analysis approach and its potential application to assist locating relevant regulations from different sources. Examples from environmental regulations are employed to illustrate the proposed methodology and framework.
