Abstract
This paper deals with the evaluation of a piece of information when successively reported by several sources. It describes a model based on Dempster-Shafer’s theory in which the evaluation of a reported piece of information is defined by a plausibility degree. This value depends on the degrees at which sources are correct and the degrees at which they are wrong.
