Abstract
Rule removal from a data administration system occurs where new rules entered into the system encompass existing rules already in the system. Parameters of existing rules and new rules are compared to determine if any parameters of new rules encompass parameters of existing rules. If so, the existing rule is removed to optimize system performance by reducing process times and minimizing space required to store rules.
