Abstract

This paper is intended to serve as a background for studies in the field of knowledge assimilation in deductive databases. Rather than presenting a formal theory or a technical methodology, it provides a largely informal overview of some of the constituent issues of knowledge assimilation. Various tasks of knowledge assimilation, particularly those related to the integrity-preserving satisfaction of update requests, are discussed. Also the use of abductive logic programming for knowledge assimilation is addressed. Close interrelationships of seemingly disconnected tasks such as query answering, updating, default reasoning, belief revision, and of the underlying inference principles of deduction and abduction, are pointed out. Particular attention is paid to the various kinds of hypotheses used in abductive logic programming for implementing knowledge assimilation.
