Abstract
In this paper we present a technique based on logic programming for data cleaning, and its application to a real use case from the Italian Healthcare System. The use case is part of a more complex project developing a business intelligence suite for the analysis of distributed archives of tumor-based diseases.
This work has been partially funded by the Calabria Region under the project “Piano Interaziendale di Innovazione del Contratto di Investimento Industria, Artigianato e Servizi” N. 1220000408.
