I think the use of "about" may be confusing  (at least to me).

May be a question to clarify with native English speakers?

I've got a vague feeling that there might be some benefit in

(a) making explicit the quotational nature of the elements of a belief , in the way that the "(that <sentence>)" operator in IKL does.

How would you express that?:-)

(b) making explicit what may be inferred about what a Believer believes, based on set of believed sentences. Doxastic logics (logics about belief) have many of the same problems as epistemic logics.

For example,
    if Fred believes that "P" and
       Fred believes that "Q"
it may not be the case that Fred believes that "P and Q", even though the latter is entailed by classical propositional logic.

CRM doesn't need the fancy stuff, but it might be good to make the rules a little bit more explicit (this seems to be the direction the edit is going).

I agree with the problems, but I'd argue the intention of CRMInf is monitoring arguments, not commiting to explicit rules. We take here a more empirical stance towards how scholars and scientists argue, and not what rules could be machine-evaluated. First we need to document, then we can select what we can reason about. I hope I have interpreted correctly what you mean by "rules" ?

Cyc has the useful concept of the propositional content of a work, which denoted the microtheory containing all the propositions expressed by the work. This seems to be close to what is being described here.

Could you give us an explicit reference:-) ? I think we should make more references in our documents.

Best,

    Dear All,

    I'd like to revise:
    Scope note:This class comprises the sets of formal, binary
propositions that an I2 Belief is held about. It could be implemented as a named graph, a spreadsheet or any other
    structured data-set.                                   Regardless
    the specific syntax employed, the effective propositions it
    contains should be constituted  by unambiguous identifiers,
    concepts of a formal ontology and constructs of logic.

    CRM Inf I4 Proposition Set has the following scope note:

    I believe this is not clear enough in contrast to E89
    Propositional Object.

    I propose:
