چکیده

Developers and owners of facilities are facing more and more complicated regulatory and code requirements. These regulatory requirements do provide social benefits as they implement more stringent environmental laws (e.g., for hazardous waste management), and improve safety and accessibility (e.g., OSHA and ADA guidelines.) Regulations are typically specified by Federal as well as State governmental bodies and are often amended by local counties or cities. Regulations emanating from diverse agencies often overlap; because settings and objectives differ they may be inconsistent. As new issues of public safety or fairness arise new regulations are promulgated; old regulations are rarely removed. The distributed responsibilities increase the complexity of dealing with regulations. The scope of concern and the terminology used to express those concerns differs among agencies. It is nearly impossible for affected individuals and organizations to find and understand all applicable regulations. We believe that information technology (IT) has the potential to mitigate and help solve many of these problems.
