Abstract: Legal regulations are important for public organizations as they specify the services that the organizations offer to citizens and businesses. However, the operationalization of legal regulations is challenging because they leave room for interpretation and there is a high number of involved actors. These actors comprise of domain experts and IT experts within a public organization, but also other public organizations on the same or different levels of government. In consequence, there are many actors involved in the operationalization and execution of legal regulations for public services who would benefit from the use of conceptual models.

In this talk I will present my research on operationalizing legal regulations into conceptual models using digital tools.
