Abstract
With an increase in regulations, it is challenging for organizations to identify relevant regulations and ensure that their business processes comply with legal provisions. Multiple regulations cover the same domain and can interact with, complement or contradict each other. To overcome these challenges, a systematic approach is required. This paper proposes a thorough approach integrating the Eunomos knowledge and document management system with Legal-URN framework, a Requirements Engineering based framework for business process compliance).
