Abstract

To capture the uncertainty of information or knowledge in information systems, various information granulations, also known as knowledge granulations, have been proposed. Recently, several axiomatic definitions of information granulation have been introduced. In this paper, we try to improve these axiomatic definitions and give a universal construction of information granulation by relating information granulations with a class of functions of multiple variables. We show that the improved axiomatic definition has some concrete information granulations in the literature as instances.
