The REGNET research project proposes to develop an information infrastructure to enhance the access, retrieval and transparency of government regulations, in particular in the area of patents. Almost all manufacturing and engineered products as well as the processes involved in inventing and producing such products need to comply with regulatory requirements. Patent laws and related issues are complex and voluminous, and can be disproportionately burdensome, hindering technological and business innovations, particularly to small businesses. Information technology (IT) has the potential to mitigate and help solve many of these complicated issues and enhance public understanding.Intellectual MeritGovernment regulations are now available online. However, most of current online portals are primarily designed for displaying the information and are difficult to be used for further processing. The information service infrastructure proposed for REGNET includes repositories as a base and, more importantly, tools to locate, merge, compare, and analyze the information. This service infrastructure will exploit in an intelligent way the communication and computational resources that are now widely available to the public. Seven tasks are planned: (1) textual parsing and storage, (2) semi-structured, indexed storage, (3) means to resolve semantic ambiguities, (4) cross-referencing appropriate for automated retrieval of relevant documents, (5) comparative analysis of related regulatory documents, (6) on-line compliance assistance and checking of governmental regulations, and (7) needs assessment and impact analysis. New and innovative search and analysis techniques will be developed to help disseminate regulatory data and allow finding and comparing multiple sources of related legal and regulatory information.Broad ImpactsIT systems for legal and regulatory purposes are being rapidly developed. The social and legal impacts of such online regulation systems and compliance assistance tools as well as their effects on the regulatory process will be studied.

Regnet研究项目提议开发信息基础设施，以增强政府法规的访问，检索和透明度，特别是在专利领域。几乎所有制造和工程产品以及发明和生产此类产品所涉及的过程都需要遵守监管要求。专利法律和相关问题是复杂且庞大的，并且可能是繁重的，阻碍技术和商业创新，尤其是对小型企业而言。信息技术（IT）有可能减轻和帮助解决这些复杂问题的许多问题并增强公众理解。现在可以在线获得Intlectalual firitgovernment法规。但是，当前大多数在线门户网站主要设计用于显示信息，并且很难用于进一步处理。针对Regnet提出的信息服务基础架构包括存储库作为基础，更重要的是，以定位，合并，比较和分析信息。该服务基础架构将以智能的方式利用现在向公众广泛使用的通信和计算资源。计划了七个任务：（1）文本解析和存储，（2）半结构化的索引存储，（3）用于解决语义歧义的方法，（4）跨引用适用于相关文档自动检索，（5）相关监管文档的比较分析，（（6）在线辅助辅助和依据分析和（7）政府辅助分析和（7）。将开发新的和创新的搜索和分析技术，以帮助传播监管数据，并允许查找和比较相关法律和监管信息的多个来源。用于法律和监管目的的BLOAD IMPACTSIT系统正在迅速开发。将研究此类在线监管系统和合规援助工具的社会和法律影响及其对监管过程的影响。
