I am delighted to pass along the announcement of the availability of Volume 18 Issue 3 of Regulation and Governance. It includes an intriguing set of essays in a special issue edited by Alessia Damonte and Giulia Bazzan. It is entitled "Rules as Data." Several of the articles are open access. The contents and links t the articles follow.
In their Introduction (Rules as Data), Damonte and Bazzan explain in their abstract:
Rules lie at the core of many disciplines beneath regulatory studies. Such a broad interest inevitably comes with fragmented understandings and technical choices that hinder knowledge cumulation and learning. This introduction tackles these limitations through an encompassing analytical blueprint from measurement theory. First, it addresses ambiguities to establish formal rules as a distinct research object. Then, it builds on legal, institutional analytic, and computational linguistic frameworks to pinpoint their constituting elements. Last, it revises strategies for assigning meaningful numbers to objects and outlines how the contributions to this Special Issue foster different aspects of the blueprint.
Most interestingly, they use a form of the semiotic triad (object, sign/signifier, interpretant) in the form of label concept-meaning intention-actuality extension (Rules as Data p. 658).
