Abstract
The use of the temporal logic formalism for representing information is reviewed. Two languages are introduced corresponding to two different ways of viewing information: as an assertion about properties of objects (syntactic view), or as a set of objects (semantic view). We define the semantics of the languages in terms of a model that generalizes the concept of Pawlak's information system.
