Comparative Study of Normative Document Modeling and Monitoring

In this paper, we model normative document repositories and normative documents of two countries – the Republic of Latvia and the United Kingdom and suggest a framework for tracking normative documents. The framework is used for the retrieval of normative documents, their analysis, and their linking to the normative documents already present in the storage module of the framework. We propose splitting normative documents into parts to allow separate tracking of changes in sections and paragraphs for the purpose of normative document monitoring. Information Retrieval, thus, can be done at an article, a paragraph, or a document level.
