This framework implements dialectical approaches to explain query answers in inconsistent knowledge bases. The motivation behind the prototype is as follows: given an inconsistent knowledge base represented within Datalog±, a semantics for handling inconsistency and a query Q, the goal...

This leaves only the points most likely to appeal to an arbitrary user. However, some dominated points may still be interesting, and the skyline offers little support for helping the user understand why some interesting points are ...
