This volume the 34th issue of Transactions on Large-Scale Data- and Knowledge-Centered Systems
constitutes a special issue consisting of seven papers on the subject of Consistency and
Inconsistency in Data-Centric Applications. The volume opens with an invited article on basic
postulates for inconsistency measures. Three of the remaining six papers are revised extended
versions of papers presented at the First International Workshop on Consistency and
Inconsistency COIN 2016 held in conjunction with DEXA 2016 in Porto Portugal in September
2016. The other three papers were selected from submissions to a call for contributions to this
edition. Each of the papers highlights a particular subtopic. However all are concerned with
logical inconsistencies that are either to be systematically avoided or reasoned with
consistently i.e. without running the danger of an explosion of inferences.
