D2.3 Consistency Maintenance. Intermediate Report
Antonia Schwichtenberg, L Francois · 2011
One goal in WP2 is to investigate and develop techniques for detecting when the creation or modification of rules and/or the ontology affects the overall consistency. Moreover, techniques to help the business user or the rule/ontology manager repair detected inconsistencies, including new capabilities such as testing and debugging across the rule/ontology boundary should be investigated and developed. This is an intermediate report on consistency maintenance in which we setup a general framework of consistency maintenance tasks, including definitions, detection, and handling of consistency related problems. Methods for natural language and individual rule, ontology, and combined formalisms are presented in terms of the framework.
