Models of Information Algebras
Here follows an incomplete list of instances of information algebras:
- Relational algebra: The reduct of a relational algebra with natural join as combination and the usual projection is a labeled information algebra, see Example.
- Constraint systems: Constraints form an information algebra (Jaffar & Maher 1994).
- Semiring valued algebras: C-Semirings induce information algebras (Bistarelli & Montanari Rossi1997);(Bistarelli et al. Schiex);(Kohlas & Wilson 2006).
- Logic: Many logic systems induce information algebras (Wilson & Mengin 1999). Reducts of cylindric algebras (Henkin, Monk & Tarski 1971) or polyadic algebras are information algebras related to predicate logic (Halmos 2000).
- Module algebras: (Bergstra, Heering & Klint 1990);(de Lavalette 1992).
- Linear systems: Systems of linear equations or linear inequalities induce information algebras (Kohlas 2003).

Famous quotes containing the words models of, models and/or information:
“The parents who wish to lead a quiet life I would say: Tell your children that they are very naughty—much naughtier than most children; point to the young people of some acquaintances as models of perfection, and impress your own children with a deep sense of their own inferiority. You carry so many more guns than they do that they cannot fight you. This is called moral influence and it will enable you to bounce them as much as you please.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)

“On the breasts of a barmaid in Sale
Were tattooed the prices of ale;
And on her behind
For the sake of the blind
Was the same information in Braille.”
