....consistent query answers, except in the proposi tional case. It has been widely recognized that in database integration the integrated data may be inconsistent with the integrity constraints. A typical (theoretical) solution is to augment the data model to represent disjunctive information. [2,5,10,24]. There are several important differences between the above approaches and ours. First, they rely on the construction of a single (disjunctive) instance and the deletion of conflicting tuples. Second, they usually handle severely restricted classes of integrity constraints and queries. Gertz [19] ....

A more comprehensive discussion can be found in [2] The need to accommodate violations of functional dependencies is one of the main motivations for considering disjunctive databases [12,14] and has led to various proposals in the context of data integration [1, 3,8,13]. A purely proof theoretic notion of consistent query answer comes from Bry [6] None of the above approaches considers aggregation queries. Many further questions suggest themselves. First, is it possible to identify more tractable cases and to reduce the degree of the polynomial in those ....

For example, considering an answer as consistent if it is true in the majority of the database repairs, or true in some preferred repairs, under some predefined notion of preference. Majority based approaches to consistency have been studied in [79] and [81] in the context of data integration. The whole issue of preferences for certain changes and repairs remains still to be investigated.

....operators is missing. In this work the result of a merging is a subset of the set of all interpretations but a lot of systems have to conform to a set of integrity constraints, for that reason it is interesting to be able to merge some knowledge sets in the presence of these constraints [LMb]. And so one has to restrain the result of the merging to be a subset of the set of allowed interpretations. Suppose that these integrity constraints are denoted by the knowledge base IC. If we consider a weighted rational merging, a way to incorporate integrity constraints is to add IC to E with ....
