Abstract

In this paper we provide a high-level architecture of the Document Analysis and Change Detection system which is used for the retrieval of regulations and document analysis and preparation for their linkage to business processes. The goal of the research is to describe approach of transformation of regulations into the form with annotated structural parts, such as chapters, sections, articles, and subarticles that enables linking of business processes to specific structural parts of the relevant regulation. We also propose approach for business process and regulation change management. By applying this approach we could ensure regulation change monitoring and thus facilitate up-to-date business process compliance to regulations.
