N2 - Regulatory documents contain a rich set of provisions that requirement engineers must observe in software requirements. If a requirement engineer fails to accurately interpret or include the provisions in the software requirements, then a right, privilege, or obligation could be omitted or incorrectly applied - resulting in a violation. When a violation occurs, complaints are filed, penalties are imposed, and in some instances, the responsible party goes to prison; thus, this paper introduces SHAMROQ, a methodology to systematically acquire software requirements from regulations, and demonstrates the methodology using a section of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). SHAMROQ is applied to a case study to show that it is possible to use the basic activity pattern with modality, description logic, and Hohfeldian legal concepts to analyze, classify, and model the legal relationships to ascertain meaning, context, and structure.
