Abstract

The paper introduces an enriched formal language of information that establishes propositions dependent on situations and propositional types. The language supports structured data of situated information, which can be partial, parametric, and underspecified. Information can be associated with quantitative evaluations depending on situations. The formal terms can integrate propositional types of situated information with statistical and other quantitative evaluations. Structured content integrated with quantitative data facilitates development of new techniques for amalgamating logic representation of situated, propositional content with numerical data. Numerical data can be provided by techniques from mathematical statistics and probability.
