In practice, knowledge-based reasoning for decision making must be inconsistency-tolerant since, for decision making, contradictory data are unavoidable. We present a measure-based concept of inconsistency-tolerant knowledge engineering for decision support. It enables the preservation of consistency across updates, as well as the computation of sound answers to queries in knowledge bases with violated integrity. Hence, our framework supports the consistency of decision making in the presence of contradictory data. By an extended example, we show how inconsistency-tolerant integrity maintenance can minimize risks in decision making that result from inconsistent knowledge.
