Conceptual Knowledge Processing with Google

This paper introduces a tool for Conceptual Knowledge Processing with Google. The featured prototype, called FooCA, tries to combine the advantages of two research disciplines, Web Mining and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). Web Mining techniques are used to preprocess search results retrieved via Google, presenting the formal context in an interactive cross table. A new formal context can be iteratively explored by user-configured query refinement. Depending on his personal information need, the user can make decisions about the way he wants to navigate through Google Web search results. Moreover, the user may enable or disable Web Mining or FCA options to help him obtain an overview of the context and to give him more influence than he would have when working with a traditional search engine interface.
