In this paper we present a many-valued logic programming, based on reinterpreted Belnap's 4-valued bilattice: we introduce the new semantics for a 4-valued implication by relative pseudo-complement, used for intuitionistic logics. This kind of logic programming is particularly useful for data integration with possibly incomplete and inconsistent information. We define an ontological encapsulation of the epistemic many-valued logic programs with negation, based on this bilattice, into 2-valued meta logic programs. Obtained 2-valued logic semantically reflects original epistemic many-valued logic, and can be used in order to define many-valued logic entailment and inference closure for many-valued truth assignments.
