Integrating Regulatory Requirements into Information Systems Design and Implementation

Information systems for supporting collaborative activities (e.g., business process modeling tools, workflow management tools, or project management tools) should explicitly address regulatory requirements. Integrating a legal perspective into such information systems would contribute to a better legal compliance and a more effective collaboration. This paper introduces a meta-design for integrating regulations into the design and implementation of information systems. A prototypical implementation of the meta-design shows its general applicability.
