Abstract

We propose a framework for defining and reasoning about rough sets based on definite extended logic programs. Moreover, we introduce a rough-set-specific query language. Several motivating examples are also presented. Thus, we establish a link between rough set theory and logic programming that makes possible transfer of expertise between these fields and combination of the techniques originating from both fields.
