A New Approach to Base Revision

We present three approaches to revision of belief bases, which are also examined in the case in which the sentences in the base are partitioned between those which can and those which cannot be changed; the approaches are shown to be semantically equivalent. A new approach is then presented, based on the modification of individual rules, instead of deletion. The resulting base is semantically equivalent to that generated by the other approaches, in the sense that it has the same models, but the rule part alone has fewer models, that is, is subjected to a smaller change.
