Consider the construction of an expert system by encoding the knowledge of different experts. Suppose the knowledge provided by each expert is encoded into a knowledge base. Then the process ofcombiningthe knowledge of these different experts is an important and nontrivial problem. We study this problem here when the expert systems are considered to be first‐order theories. We present techniques for resolving inconsistencies in such knowledge bases. We also provide algorithms for implementing these techniques.
