Integrating data from multiple sources has been increasingly becoming a commonplace in both Web and the emerging Internet of Things (IoT) applications to support collective intelligence and collaborative decision making. Unfortunately, it is not unusual that the information about a single item comes from different sources, which might be noisy, out-of-date, or even erroneous. It is therefore of paramount importance to resolve such conflicts among the data and to find out which piece of information is more reliable.
