Cognitive informatics (CI) is an interdisciplinary study on modelling of the brain in terms of knowledge and information processing. In CI, objects/attributes are considered as neurons connected to each other via synapse. The relation represents the synapse in CI. In order to represent new information the brain generates new synapse or relation between the existing neurons. Therefore, the establishment of cognitive relations is essential to represent new information. In order to represent new information, we propose an algorithm which creates cognitive relation between the pair of objects and attributes by using the relational attribute and object method. Further, the cognitive relations between the pair of objects or attributes within the context could be checked with newly defined conditions, i.e. the necessary and sufficient condition. These conditions will evaluate whether the relational object and attribute is adequate to have relations between the pair of objects and attributes. The new information is obtained without increasing the number of neurons in brain. It is achieved by creating cognitive relations between the pair of objects and attributes. The obtained results are beneficial to simulate the intelligence behaviour of brain such as learning and memorizing. Integrating the idea of CI into cognitive relations is a promising and challenging research direction. In this paper, we have discussed it from the aspects of cognitive mechanism, cognitive computing and cognitive process.
