Measuring Inconsistency over Sequences of Business Rule Cases

We investigate inconsistency and culpability measures for multisets of business rule bases. As companies might encounter thousands of rule bases daily, studying not only individual rule bases separately, but rather also their interrelations, becomes necessary. As current works on inconsistency measurement focus on assessing individual rule bases, we therefore present an extension of those works in the domain of business rules management. We show how arbitrary culpability measures (for single rule bases) can be automatically transformed for multisets, propose new rationality postulates for this setting, and investigate the complexity of central aspects regarding multi-rule base inconsistency measurement.
