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).

“Today it is not the classroom nor the classics which are the repositories of models of eloquence, but the ad agencies.”

—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
“So while it is true that children are exposed to more information and a greater variety of experiences than were children of the past, it does not follow that they automatically become more sophisticated. We always know much more than we understand, and with the torrent of information to which young people are exposed, the gap between knowing and understanding, between experience and learning, has become even greater than it was in the past.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
