Semantic inconsistency

Semantic inconsistency occurs when the meaning or logic within a set of information conflicts or doesn't align properly. For example, if a document states "All dogs are animals" and later claims "Some dogs are not animals," these statements directly contradict each other. Such inconsistencies can cause confusion or errors, especially in information systems or databases. Addressing semantic inconsistencies involves identifying and resolving these logical conflicts to ensure the information makes sense, is reliable, and supports accurate decision-making.
