“… 26. The same point is stressed by Boehme-Neßler (2011): ‘Both purely textual and purely visual communication each have their weaknesses. But both complement each other in many ways, and can compensate for each other’s weaknesses’ (p. 87).…”

“…For instance, are linguistic rules and graphic rules interchangeable, or is something lost in translation between one medium and the other; 15 if so, is it a question of ‘contents’ or ‘impact’? It is usually stressed that images have an evocative, emotional force (in general, see Boehme-Neßler, 2011; as regards drawings and designs in plans, see Van Dijk, 2011, and Ivory, 2013) that can be lost if we translate them into conventional linguistic terms. But is this ‘evocative force’ a really crucial issue for rules ?…”

“…A difference – more relevant than the evocative force – is that drawings are better in communicating lots of information simultaneously in a compact form (a map, for instance, can easily conjoin information about the location of objects and their properties), while sentential systems are better in dissecting and manipulating abstract concepts (Camp, 2007). As a consequence, even if images and sentences can in principle be translated from one into the other and vice versa, something may be lost in the translation (Boehme-Neßler, 2011; Dudek, 2015; Sober, 1976). On the one hand, as Elliott Sober (1976) writes, The expressive power of analog pictorial representations extends beyond that of language, which contains at best a countable infinity of distinct representations … Hence, not all pictorial systems are reducible to impoverished linguistic systems of a certain kind.…”

“…There is clearly a form of ‘verbal-centrism’ dominating the general discussions on the mechanisms of interaction and communication (De Rosa and Farr, 2001) and in the area of rules and legal regulations in particular (Boehme-Neßler, 2011; Braverman, 2010; Dudek, 2015; Feigenson and Spiesel, 2009). As Irus Braverman (2010) observes, ‘Text, rather than images or visions, is … the center of legal attention’ (p. 174).…”

This article is focused on the rules that we create using drawings (designs, pictures, paintings,\ud etc.) which will be termed ‘graphic rules’. Its attention is therefore not simply on the use of\ud images in normative documents but also ‘as law’. We will delve into one of these types of graphic\ud rules: that is, graphic rules used in urban planning. The fact that graphic rules are widespread in\ud planning practices, and indeed typical of them, makes rules of this kind a particularly significant\ud field of interest for planning theory. An important point to stress is that while analysis of images\ud used descriptively has been under way for some time (although in many respects it is anything\ud but conclusive, despite what is generally thought), analysis of images used as rules is still in its\ud infancy. To gain deeper understanding of these particular and widespread forms of (graphic) rules\ud is therefore both theoretically and practically important

One of the common characteristics of legal documents is the absolute preponderance of text and their specific domain language, whose complexity can result in impenetrability for those that have no legal expertise. In some experiments, visual communication has been introduced in legal documents to make their meaning clearer and more intelligible, whilst visualizations have also been automatically generated from semantically-enriched legal data. As part of an ongoing research that aims to create user-friendly privacy terms by integrating graphical elements and Semantic Web technologies, the process of creation and interpretation of visual legal concepts will be discussed. The analysis of current approaches to this subject represents the point of departure to propose an empirical methodology that is inspired by interaction and human-centered design practices.
