In this paper we present a family of measures aimed at determining the amount of inconsistency in probabilistic knowledge bases. Our approach to measuring inconsistency is graded ...
Many merging operators have been proposed to merge either flat or stratified knowledge bases. The result of merging by such an operator is a flat base (or a set of models of the me...
The Nested List Normal Form is proposed as a syntactic normal form for semantically well-designed database schemata obtained from any arbitrary finite nesting of records and lists....
tor. In order to capture different data models at a time, an abstract algebraic approach based on nested attributes is taken. The presence of the list constructor calls for a new i...

In this paper, a new algebraic representation by the non-Archimedean fields is proposed to model stratified/ranked knowledge bases. The non-Archimedean representation is in the for...
