The concept of measuring inconsistency in information was developed by John
Grant in a 1978 paper in the context of first-order logic. For more than 20
years very little was done in this area until in the early 2000s a number
of AI researchers started to formulate new inconsistency measures primarily
in the context of propositional logic knowledge bases. The aim of this
volume is to survey what has been done so far, to expand inconsistency
measurement to other formalisms, to connect it with related topics, and to
provide ideas for further research in a topic that is particularly relevant
now in view of the many inconsistencies in the massive amount of
information available.
The book contains 11 chapters. The first chapter, by John Grant, gives his
original motivation for starting this field, explains why it was formulated
in a highly mathematical manner, presents important material that was
omitted from the original paper, and provides ideas about the use of
dimensions in measuring inconsistency. The second chapter, by Matthias
Thimm, is a survey that covers most of the research on inconsistency
measures up to 2017. The other 9 chapters, all by experts either in
inconsistency measures, or in the topic under consideration, or both,
connect inconsistency measures with argumentation, disjunctive logic
programming, fuzzy logic systems, modal logics, multiset representation,
paraconsistent consequence, probabilistic logic, relational databases, and
spatio-temporal databases.
