Abstract

This paper discusses on a logic of information for reasoning about various persons’ knowledge or time-depending knowledge. The motivation comes from the problem of logical foundations of knowledge representation proposed by Z. Pawlak and E. Orlowska [6], and partially from Orlowska [8]. We consider monadic predicate symbols in this logic. We give its semantics and syntax. Further, we give a deductive system for the logic, and prove the soundness and completeness.
