Abstract

The problem of revision is to find which formula Ψ can be deduced from a formula ϕ, which has been added to a Knowledge Base KB. Since ϕ can bring inconsistency to KB, non-monotonic inference relations which are able to deal with inconsistency have been proposed; note that classical revision takes place after the arrival of ϕ. The aim of this paper is to propose a priori revision, that is to provide a way to "armor" the KB by suppressing some knowledge and by forbidding to accept some new information in such a way that adding any allowed formula ϕ to the revised KB will not bring inconsistency.
