RegMiner: Taming the complexity of regulatory documents for digitalized compliance management

Business process compliance has become a crucial aspect for companies due to severe fines that can be imposed if constraints and rules emerging from regulatory documents are violated. Regulatory docu- ments are often written in natural language and analyzing them is mainly done manually since only limited tool support is available. Therefore, we present RegMiner, a web service for discovering and visualizing con- straints from regulatory documents. By employing NLP and data min- ing techniques, compliance constraints can be automatically extracted, grouped, and visualized leading to a separation of relevant and non- relevant document parts and insights into, e.g., duties of stakeholders. A case study based on a current document from the European parliament regarding the financial domain demonstrates RegMiner's maturity.
