• Abstract: Regulatory documents, issued by governmental regulatory bodies, establish rules, guidelines, and standards that organizations must adhere to for legal compliance. These documents, characterized by their length, complexity and frequent updates, are challenging to interpret, requiring significant allocation of time and expertise on the part of organizations to ensure ongoing compliance.Regulatory Natural Language Processing (RegNLP) is a multidisciplinary subfield aimed at simplifying access to and interpretation of regulatory rules and obligations. We define an Automated Question-Passage Generation task for RegNLP, create the ObliQA dataset containing 27,869 questions derived from the Abu Dhabi Global Markets (ADGM) financial regulation document collection, design a baseline Regulatory Information Retrieval and Answer Generation system, and evaluate it with RePASs, a novel evaluation metric that tests whether generated answers accurately capture all relevant obligations and avoid contradictions.

• Lawful and Accountable Personal Data Processing with GDPR-based Access and Usage Control in Distributed Systems [0.0]
  This paper proposes a case-generic method for automated normative reasoning that establishes legal arguments for the lawfulness of data processing activities. The arguments are established on the basis of case-specific legal qualifications made by privacy experts, bringing the human in the loop. The resulting system is designed and critically assessed in reference to requirements extracted from the GPDR.

  Decarbonization, decentralization and digitalization are the three key elements driving the twin energy transition. This paper conducts a comprehensive review of the data-related issues for the energy system by integrating both technical and regulatory dimensions. We classify the issues into three categories: (i) data-sharing among energy end users and stakeholders (ii) privacy of end users, and (iii) cyber security.
