Abstract
We present a uniform framework for implementing the variety of consistency checks needed for an implementation platform for query-answering in default logics. Our approach is centered around the concept of local proof procedures that allow for validating each inference step when it is performed. The resulting system is unique in offering simultaneously the expressiveness of multiple default logics.
