The concept lattice is a conceptual model firstly introduced by Wille in formal concept analysis, a theory of concept formation derived from lattice and order theory. Various concept lattice based applications have been reported in several domains such as conceptual clustering, conceptual knowledge representation and acquisition, and information retrieval. In this paper, we propose an object database approach for managing concept lattices in these applications. The goal of our work is two-fold. First, we extend the concept lattice model by basic operations supporting concept analysis. These operations allow to search and discover data directly from the concept lattice. Then, we present an approach for modeling and querying concept lattices within an object database framework.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/3-540-63699-4_24
