Abstract :
Legal prescriptions are increasingly impacting on information systems and on organisations that must comply with them in order to avoid to be prosecuted or fined. Addressing law compliance in early phases of the requirements analysis helps in improving the alignment of information systems with the law. In this paper, we point out ontological differences between legal concepts and requirements and set the basis for a systematic process able to support decision making about requirements for law compliant systems.
