This paper introduces a temporal logic for coalgebras. Nexttime and lasttime operators are defined for a coalgebra, acting on predicates on the state space. They give rise to what is called a Galois algebra. Galois algebras form models of temporal logics like Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) and Computation Tree Logic (CTL). The mapping from coalgebras to Galois algebras turns out to be functorial, yielding indexed categorical structures. This construction gives many examples, for coalgebras of polynomial functors on sets. More generally, it will be shown how ‘fuzzy’ predicates on metric spaces, and predicates on presheaves, yield indexed Galois algebras, in basically the same coalgebraic manner.

Web engines crawl hyperlinks to search for new documents; yet when they index discovered documents they basically revert to conventional information retrieval models and concentrate on the indexing of terms in a single document. We propose to overcome such limits with an approach based on temporal logic. By modeling a web site as a finite state transition system we are able to define complex and selective queries over hyperlinks with the aid of Computation Tree Logic operators. We deployed the proposed approach in a prototype system that allows users pose queries in natural language. Queries are automatically translated in Computation Tree Logic, and the answer returned by our system is a set of paths. Experiments carried out with the aid of human experts show improved retrieval effectiveness with respect to current search engines.
