Merging with integrity constraints

Abstract:

We consider, in this paper, the problem of knowledge base merging with integrity constraints. We propose a logical characterization of those operators and give a representation theorem in terms of pre-orders on interpretations. We show the close connection between belief revision and merging operators and we show that our proposal extends the pure merging case (i.e. without integrity constraints) we study in a previous work. Finally we show that Liberatore and Schaerf commutative revision operators can be seen as a special case of merging.
