INCONSISTENCY-TOLERANT KNOWLEDGE ASSIMILATION

Hendrik Decker

2007

Abstract

A recently introduced notion of inconsistency tolerance for integrity checking is revisited. Two conditions that enable an easy verification or falsification of inconsistency tolerance are discussed. Based on a method-independent definition of inconsistency-tolerant updates, this notion is then extended to a family of knowledge assimilation tasks. These include integrity maintenance, view updating and repair of integrity violation. Many knowledge assimilation approaches turn out to be inconsistency-tolerant without needing any specific knowledge about the given status of integrity of the underlying database.
