Abstract
In this paper we examine issues involving measures of creativity for data generalization using hierarchies. In particular we consider consensus and specificity measures for the partitions that result using crisp concept hierarchies. We note that fuzzy hierarchies do not produce partitions of data in general so some approaches to considering “partitionness’ is described.
