Abstract

We present a generalization of logic All I Know by presenting it as an extension of standard modal logics. We study how this logic can be used to represent complete and incomplete knowledge in Logical Information Systems. In these information systems, a knowledge base is a collection of objects (e.g., files, bibliographical items) described in the same logic as used for expressing queries. We show that usual All I Know (transitive and euclidean accessibility relation) is convenient for representing complete knowledge, but not for incomplete knowledge. For this, we use serial All I Know (serial accessibility relation).
