Responsibility Chart How-to

Set out in the following figures you will see  how the user should read the Responsibility Chart as developed using the graphic representation rules.

The following section shows how we deal with the special conjunction “or”. In the example, “or” is used to link conditions, however, “or” can be used when linking parties or actions. This section explains the use of conditions.

The figure below shows how rights are depicted in the Responsibility Charts, as well as how the use of the special conjunction “and” is shown. In this example, “and” is used to link rights to actions but
“and” can be used when linking parties or conditions

The following figure shows how positive obligations are dealt with and how we differentiate the use of special conjunctions in a sentence and between paragraphs.

The figure below shows how negative obligations are dealt with and how an action/s are linked to a defined verb. In the example below, the actions are linked to the defined verb “may not” which
indicates a negative obligation and is counted as an obligation. As explained in the next chapter, when a negative obligation is present all the actions are counted as obligations regardless of the special
conjunction which may be present. The actions shown are also linked to the special conjunction “or”, which means that they may not do the one or the other.
