In this chapter, we summarize the research on querying inconsistent databases we have been conducting over the last five years. The formal framework we have used is based on two c...
In order to deal with inconsistent databases, a repair semantics defines a set of admissible database instances that restore consistency, while staying close to the original insta...
In this paper, an algorithm for obtaining consistent answers to queries posed to inconsistent relational databases is presented. The algorith is proven to be sound, terminating and...
Databases may not satisfy integrity constraints (ICs) for several reasons. Nevertheless, in most of the cases an important part of the data is still consistent wrt certain desired...
The objective of this paper is to investigate the problems related to the extensional integration of information sources. In particular, we propose an approach for managing incons...
