Abstract
This paper discusses a database system which absorbs assertions about the data from a community of correspondents capturing also the uncertainty of the assertion and taking account of the potential unreliability of the correspondent. The paper describes a system compromising the capture of such assertions, the ability to impose an authorised version of a value, the maintenance of a reliability measure for each correspondent and a querying system which returns the most likely values.
