We discussed how citation analysis can be used to understand and analyze multiple
regulations as well as detect overlaps and possible conflicts among regulations. We
presented a detailed approach on how to build citation graphs from multiple documents,
which involves parsing the content of multiple regulations to identify the provisions,
citations, and the types of relations among citations. We discussed the fact that
amendments (one of the relations among the citing and the cited provisions) represent
risks of conflict. We suggested that this type of relation should be carefully studied
