Motivation

In December 2017, the 1st edition of the Workshop on Technologies for Regulatory Compliance took place (http://terecom2017.lynx-project.eu) within the JURIX conference in Luxembourg, followed by its second edition in 2018 (http://terecom2018.lynx-project.eu)) These meetings were auspiced by the H2020 Lynx project (http://lynx-project.eu) and they were a first survey of the technologies of interest for the project purposes. Thirteen works of direct nature were presented in Luxemburg and 12 in Groningen, some with a more legal character, some in the field of artificial intelligence and some with a bias towards the area of language technologies. The workshop attracted interest both in the industry and in the academia, convening an heterogeneous audience and illuminated by the invited talks of Enrico Francesconi, Rodolfo Maslias and Guido Governatori. In this second edition, the objectives of the Lynx project have been advanced but the demand for contributions in language technologies towards regulatory compliance is still there.

The LYNX project is based on a very simple idea: the critical mass of legal open data on the web has been reached and if duly collected, analysed and interlinked as a Legal Knowledge Graph, it will be ready to enable a new breed of multilingual services for compliance. Thus the areas of interest in this workshop are three: (a) theoretical foundations and the legal regulatory framwork towards compliance in Europe; (b) the semantic web technologies which support the legal knowledge graph and (c) language technologies used to bridge the idiomatic barrier that hampers the commerce of products and services in Europe –for the latter see the also akin Workshop on Language Resources and Technologies for the Legal Knowledge Graph which took place in Japan in May 2018 within the LREC2018 conference.

The 3rd TeReCom workshop welcomes research in technologies for regulatory compliance, specially if using semantic resources or if applying Artificial Intelligence advances. Topics include but are not limited to:

  • Automatic Regulatory Compliance Systems
  • Legal text mining systems towards Compliance
  • Regulatory Enforcement and Inspections
  • Compliance Risk Management
  • Technologies for Multilingual or Multijurisdiction Compliance
  • Alignment of legislation and company workflows towards Compliance
  • Services and tools for Compliance in specific domains (financial, media, healthcare...)
  • Automated policy processing and policy-based systems
  • Automatic processing of International Standards and Legislation
  • Legal Data Portals and linked data for Compliance
  • Legal Knowlege Graphs
  • Regulatory Intelligence
  • Legal Ontologies, Vocabularies and Thesauri useful for Compliance
  • Any other user of Artificial Intelligence towards Compliance
We invite researchers to submit their original papers (drafts 4-10 pages, final papers: 8-10 pages, 2400 words) on these themes.
