Clarification request(s) and response
xxxFrancis Lee: 10:45am Dec 7, 2007: But what's the overall context for your translation? Are you translating said report or is it e.g. mentioned once in your text? Most importantly: what are your thoughts re. Auslegeordnung?
monbuckland: 11:00am Dec 7, 2007: Francis, the report is mentioned in the text. What I have quoted is not the title of the report, but just how it was referred to. "Auslegeordnung" also appear in other, more fragmentary contexts. I think it means "interpretation", but the "-Ordnung" part has me rather stumped.

Thanks for this. I think the "Ordnung" is probably superfluous.

Explanation:
See below link to the paper in question. “Auslegeordnung” appears only once, and searches for “ausl—“, “interpre-“ etc. provided no results. http://www.ekah.ch/imperia/md/content/ekah/publikationen/ext...

My spontaneous idea was “interpretation scheme”, which googles quite well and covers what you seem to be looking for in terms of "Auslegung" and "Ordnung" in one composite term. But when I started googling for "Auslegeordnung", it soon became clear that
1) this term seems to be in use in Swiss German contexts (almost) exclusively
and
2) it seems to be a rather general term in Swiss German, comparable to German "Auslage" or “Anordnung” (in the meaning of “Darstellung/Zurschaustellung”, English display) or “Übersicht” (survey). Just compare for yourself: http://www.google.de/search?q=Auslegeordnung&hl=de&client=fi...
