Abstract

Compliance checking is the process of determining whether a regulated entity adheres to these regulations. Currently, compliance checking is predominantly manual, requiring significant time and highly skilled experts, while still being prone to errors caused by the human factor. Various approaches have been explored to automate compliance checking, however, representing regulations in OWL DL language which enables compliance checking through OWL reasoning has not been adopted. In this work, we propose an annotation schema and an algorithm that transforms text annotations into machine-interpretable OWL DL code. The proposed approach is validated through a proof-of-concept implementation applied to examples from the building construction domain.
