abstractnote = {<p>Representing legal norms by means of an
adequate formalism is essential for the development of
legally compliant autonomous systems. The remarkable
variety of both formalisation and implementation frameworks
proposed during the last decades enables the development of
relatively efficient formalisations over a wide range of
applications. Notwithstanding, this abundance of frameworks
also leads to some practical problems, especially with
respect to the integration of – or the translation
between – different frameworks. While more or less widely
applicable meta-formalisms are already available, they are
often too complex and counter-intuitive, thus being clearly
closer to the technical implementation than to the
conception phase of the formalisation process. As a
complementary, more human-oriented solution to the problem,
the paper at hand introduces and discusses a more intuitive
normal form structure, which is based on elements of legal
theory and aims at facilitating the interdisciplinary
communication among the many partners involved in the
process of developing law-abiding
machines.</p>},
