RoSetOn: The Open Project for Ontology of Rough Sets and Related Fields

In the paper, we initialize the open project for ontology of rough sets and related fields called RoSetOn. In our opinion, there is a need in rough set society to create such ontology. This paper tries to open discussion and actions concerning this task and the first step was made. At the beginning, we assume formal mathematical description of the ontology using a graph structure. Graphs are a powerful and universal tool widely used in information processing. In the paper, we present a scheme of the proposed ontology and one of possible applications of it.
