Abstract

Experts teams using large volumes of official documents need to see and understand at a glance how texts regarding a topic are redundant and depend on each other. In line with the strategic line of a consultants company, we present a decision support system for the visual analysis of requirements and regulation texts, based on a new model of semantic social networks analysis. We present our model and a business application. In this work, standard metrics of semantic and linguistic statistics are combined with measures of social networks analysis, in order to display socio-semantic networks of regulation texts supporting experts’ decision.
