Frameworks for Graphical Visualisation of Policies

I am looking for public information about case studies, frameworks and/or approaches to graphically visualise policies. In particular, how to convey data sharing policies by using graphical metaphors.


Policies are increasing getting more and more complex: not everybody can makes sense of them and/or translate them into practical/actionable terms. On the other hand, they are used in many digital contexts (web services, enterprise, B2C, cloud, etc.) to dictate constraints, SLAs, expectations and obligations.

I am interested in exploring how graphical visualisation can help to:

• convey them to end-users in a more intuitive way ...

• enable better reasoning about their meaning and implications

• allow administrators to translate them into enforceable activities/constraints
