Abstract
For several reasons databases may become inconsistent with respect to a given set of integrity constraints (ICs): (a) The DBMS have no mechanism to maintain certain classes of ICs. (b) New constraints are imposed on preexisting, legacy data. (c) The ICs are soft, user, or informational constraints that are considered at query time, but without being necessarily enforced. (d) Data from different and autonomous sources are being integrated, in particular in mediator-based approaches.

Answer sets for consistent query answering in inconsistent databases
A relational database is inconsistent if it does not satisfy a given set of integrity constraints. Nevertheless, it is likely that most of the data in it is consistent with the constraints. In this paper we apply logic programming based on answer sets ...
Consistent query answering over inconsistent databases
This paper addresses the problem of managing inconsistent databases, that is, databases violating integrity constraints. Most of the works dealing with the problem of extracting reliable information from inconsistent databases are based on the notion of ...
Consistent query answering under inclusion dependencies
CASCON '04: Proceedings of the 2004 conference of the Centre for Advanced Studies on Collaborative researchFor several reasons a database may not satisfy certain integrity constraints (ICs), for example, when it is the result of integrating several independent data sources. However, most likely most of the information in it is still consistent with the ICs; ...
