Abstract: |
We present the design of a file system whose organization is based on Concept Analysis ``à la Wille-Ganter''. The aim is to combine querying and navigation facilities in one formalism. The file system is supposed to offer a standard interface but the interpretation of common notions like directories is new. The contents of a file system is interpreted as a Formal Context, directories as Formal Concepts, and the sub-directory relation as Formal Concepts inclusion. We present an organization that allows for an efficient implementation of such a Conceptual File System. |

A Logical Generalization of Formal Concept Analysis.

Abstract: |
We propose a generalization of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) in which sets of attributes are replaced by expressions of an almost arbitrary logic. We prove that all FCA can be reconstructed on this basis. We show that from any logic that is used in place of sets of attributes can be derived a contextualized logic that takes into account the formal context and that is isomorphic to the concept lattice. We then justify the generalization of FCA compared with existing extensions and in the perspective of its application to information systems. |
