In this paper, a study of various nonstandard treatments of set theory from this perspective is offered. Applications of these alternative set theories to information or knowledge management are surveyed. KW - ZF (Zermelo-Fraenkel) set theory KW - knowledge representation KW - AFA (anti-foundation axiom) KW - information management KW - commonsense reasoning KW - commonsense set theory KW - situation theory KW - nonwellfounded sets (hypersets).
