Checking Consistency in role oriented Dependence Networks

In this paper we first formalize dependence networks that can be automaticaly build to model goalbased
relationships among agents. Then, we propose three algorithms to build and check the consistency
of a dependence network. We start presenting the elements composing our ontology such as agents, goals,
skills, dependencies with the addition of the institutional notions of roles, institutional goals, institutional
skills. We investigate the reasons behind the possible inconsistencies in building the combined dependence
network and we propose an algorithm to check them
