Since its inception, interesting connections between Rough Set Theory and different mathematical and logical topics have been investigated. This paper is a survey of some less known although highly interesting connections, which extend from Rough Set Theory to other mathematical and logical fields. The survey is primarily thought of as a guide for new directions to be explored.Keywords Rough sets · Algebraic logic · Topology
Information from Data and Information as MetaphorAs is well known, the starting point of Rough Set Theory is an indiscernible space U, E , where U is a set and E ⊆ U × U is an equivalence relation such that x, y ∈ E states that items x and y take exactly the same attribute-values according to an evaluation recorded in an Information System.Given any relational structure U, R , with R ⊆ U × U , and X ⊆ U , the set R(X ) = {y : ∃x ∈ X ( x, y) ∈ R)} will by named the R-neighborhood of X. If X = {a} we shall write R(a). Thus, by means of E−neighborhoods, from any indiscernibility space the following operators are defined on ℘ (U ):is called an approximation space. Any equivalence class modulo E is a neighborhood E(a) for some a ∈ U , and represents a "basic property," that is, a unique array of attribute-values, hence a subset of U definable by means of the given evaluation. Moreover, forany X , (l E)(X ) and P. Pagliani
