Abstract

Current merging methods for stratified knowledge bases are often based on the commensurability assumption, i.e. all knowledge bases share a common scale. However, this assumption is too strong in practice. In this paper, we propose a family of operators to merge stratified knowledge bases without commensurability assumption. Our merging operators generalize the quota operators, a family of important merging operators in classical logic. Both logical properties and computational complexity issues of the proposed operators are studied.
