Virtual integration of temporal and conflicting information
Panagiotis Chountas, Ilias Petrounias · 2002
The paper presents a way of integrating conflicting temporal information from multiple information providers considering a property-based resolution. The properties considered in the paper are time and uncertainty because of conflicting information providers. The property based resolution requires a flexible query mechanism, where answers are considered as bounds, taking into account the tendency of things to occur and also the might happen ability of things. Finally, some attention is paid to a database environment with non-static members.
