This paper explores the automatic knowledge extraction of formal
institutional design - norms, rules, and actors - from international
agreements. The focus was to analyze the relationship between the visibility
and centrality of actors in the formal institutional design in regulating
critical aspects of cultural heritage relations. The developed tool utilizes
techniques such as collecting legal documents, annotating them with
Institutional Grammar, and using graph analysis to explore the formal
institutional design. The system was tested against the 2003 UNESCO Convention
for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage.
