Theoretical Foundation - Prove that < F can be extended to a partial ordering - Use the ordering to define l Lemma (< F is cycle-free) Given a function F that is hierarchical, local, outer-consistent and satisfies extended richness, there are no (A 1,B 1,d 1 ), (A 2,B 2,d 2 ),… (A n,B n,d n ) so that (A 1,B 1,d 1 ) < F (A 2,B 2,d 2 ) … < F (A n,B n,d n ) and (A 1,B 1,d 1 ) = (A n,B n,d n ) By the above Lemma, the transitive closure of < F is a partial ordering. There exists an order preserving function l that maps pairs of data sets to R (since < F is defined over a countable set) It can be shown that l satisfies the properties of a linkage function.
