Abstract
ABSTRACT
Public business operations are governed by a set of legal sources, which regulate their implementation under administrative laws, that are increasingly influencing software system design and development. Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a critical approach for driving business and information systems (IS) transformation in the public sector. On the other hand, EA frameworks lack representation schemas that support law models. Understanding of law Architecture in the government domain is required for EA work and is thus the first architecture activity that must be completed. As EA approaches for Law compliance reviews are performed by legal experts, there is a gap between law experts and technical system architects. To cover these gaps, this research proposes a novel framework for analyzing the administrative laws, extracting the legal policies and legal rules, identify their relationships with other EA domains, and identifying the law compliance requirements. Moreover, the integration of our proposed law architecture framework with existing EA frameworks to reach a law-compliant public enterprise model is identified.
At the heart of the proposed framework, an ontology-based component for regulatory-compliance management is proposed for providing an integrated view of the law architecture model, public enterprise model, and BP lifecycle to enable the design of compliance solutions that cover the full business process compliance lifecycle, i.e., design time, runtime, and offline monitoring and analysis. This integrated view contributes to the achievement of an essential intelligent model that guarantees data quality of the models and compliance management across all public enterprise model domains.
Finally, the applicability of the proposed framework is shown and validated through a case study. Moreover, the proposed law ontology was compared with other ontologies to assess its maturity. The comparison showed that the proposed ontology is highly adequate for domain reusability and provides a good answer for legal procedural rules, allowing for change impact analysis to be performed to determine the influence of changing legislation on business processes and roles within the whole enterprise.
