Towards Inconsistency Measurement in Business Rule Bases

We investigate the application of inconsistency measures to the problem of analysing business rule bases. Due to some i ntri-cacies of the domain of business rule bases, a straightforwa rd application is not feasible. We therefore develop some new rat ionality postulates for this setting as well as adapt and modify exist ing inconsistency measures. We further adapt the notion of inconsistency values (or culpability measures) for this setting and give a comprehensive feasibility study.
