Abstract
We present an overview of observation logic, an intuitionistic modal logic designed for reasoning about approximations and multiple contexts, and investigate a sequent-calculus formulation for it. Due to the validity of an axiom (called T2) which is a weakening of axiom T, one needs a labelled version of the sequent-calculus formalism in order to satisfy some classical properties, such as cut elimination and the subformula property. We thus introduce a sequent-calculus formulation of OL relying on labelled terms, and use it to show the decidability of the logic.
