NOTE:
• A sub-rule consists of a matching field A, a matching field B, and a matching condition. One
matching rule must contain at least one sub-rule, and two CIs must match all the sub-rules in
a matching rule before they can generate a CI relation.
• The matching field A and matching field B of a sub-rule cannot be the same.
