Abstract Basic ideas of rough set theory were proposed by Zdzis law Pawlak [85, 86] in the early 1980’s. In the ensuing years, we have witnessed a systematic, world–wide growth of interest in rough sets and their applications. The main goal of rough set analysis is induction of approximations of con-cepts. This main goal is motivated by the basic fact, constituting also the main problem of KDD, that languages we may choose for knowledge description are incomplete. A fortiori, we have to describe concepts of interest (features, proper-ties, relations etc.) not completely but by means of their reflections (i.e. approx-imations) in the chosen language. The most important issues in this induction process are: – construction of relevant primitive concepts from which approximations of more complex concepts are assembled, – measures of inclusion and similarity (closeness) on concepts, – construction of operations producing complex concepts from the primitive ones.
