| Abstract |
|
In open environments like the Web, and open Multiagent
and Peer2Peer systems, consent among the autonomous,
self-interested knowledge sources and users very often cannot
be established, and the estimation of trustability and
truthfulness of knowledge sources may not be possible.
Moreover, competing viewpoints and their communicative
contexts even provide valuable meta-knowledge about the
intentions of the participants and their social relationships.
As a foundational approach to semantically heterogeneous
knowledge perspectives, we introduce a formal framework
for the computational representation and integration of
multi-source knowledge, which makes explicit heterogeneous
viewpoints, and conflicting opinions and their social
contexts, and allows for the rating, generalization and optional
fusion of knowledge by social choice.
