> Normative is just the adjective form of "related to norm"

You might want to recheck the definition of normative. Yours is a non-standard usage and you will be misunderstood if you continue to use it that way.

Norm is is, Normative is ought.

> Normative: pertaining to giving directives or rules

> Synonyms: prescriptive

No. Both definitions are correct. Don't tell people to recheck without first doing so yourself.
