Abstract
The theory and engineering of states and transitions has been developed since WWII, with considerable success. Since 2012 some Dutch government services organizations, academia and innovative companies decided to establish a co-creation, named Blue Chamber, with the aim to develop a national protocol to “translate the regulations” into a durable, IT-independent model or specifications for IT-supported, interactive, regulation based services. Regulation here means the union of laws, associated decrees and policies, both government and ministerial. Such a protocol acts like a process and each process requires a conceptual data structure or IT-independent reference model. During the analysis of the deep structure of regulations and the associated services it became clear that the theory and application of states and transitions could be applied as innovative tool in the process of specifying the durable specifications. In this paper we describe this approach using a small but significant law and associated services.

Acknowledgements
The authors gratefully acknowledge the many discussions in the Blue Chamber and especially Mrs. Mariette Lokin, since June 2012. The Blue Chamber a multi-disciplinary group with the principle that each member brings more sandwiches to the lunch than he intends to eat and users are the ultimate decision makers whether or not a modeling approach is accepted. The authors express their thanks to the colleagues of the Blue Chamber for their inspiring sessions. The Blue Chamber will continue in the future to improve the development and maintenance of regulation based specifications for services.
