Abstract

Belief revision deals with the problem of changing a declaratively specified repository under a new piece of potentially conflicting information. Ever since the first formal treatment of belief revision, representation theorems are considered important, not to say, canonical means to analyse belief revision operators. This chapter discusses representation theorems for a special kind of change operators, called reinterpretation operators, which resolve conflicts by disambiguating symbols. Moreover, it shows how various classical belief revision operators can be represented equivalently as reinterpretation operators.
