Restructuring Help Systems Using Formal Concept Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper extends standard help system technology to demonstrate the suitability of Formal Concept Analysis in displaying, searching and navigating help content. The paper introduces a method for building suitable scales directly from the help system index by computing a keyword extension set. The keyword extension technique is generalisable in any document collection where a hand-crafted index of terms is available.

Towards Practical Tools for Mining Abstractions in UML Models
Abstract: We present an experience of applying an extension of Formal Concept Analysis to UML class model restructuring. The Relational Concept Analysis (RCA) mines potentially useful abstractions from UML classes, attributes, operations and associations and therefore outscores competing restructuring techniques which usually focus exclusively on classes. Nevertheless, the complexity and the si...
متن کاملRestructuring Causal Concepts
Typical studies of concept learning in adults address the learning of novel concepts, but much of learning involves the updating and restructuring of familiar conceptual domains. Research on conceptual change explores this issue directly but differs greatly from the formal approach of the adult learning studies. This paper bridges these two areas to advance our knowledge of the mechanisms under...
متن کاملFrom Formal Concept Analysis to Contextual Logic
A main goal of Formal Concept Analysis from its very beginning has been the support of rational communication. The source of this goal lies in our understanding of mathematics as a science which should encompass both its philosophical basis and its social consequences. This can be achieved by a process named ’restructuring’. This approach shall be extended to logic, which is based on the doctri...
متن کاملConcept Analysis for Module Restructuring
ÐLow coupling between modules and high cohesion inside each module are the key features of good software design. This is obtained by encapsulating the details about the internal structure of data and exporting only public functions with a clean interface. The only native support to encapsulation offered by procedural programming languages, such as C, is the possibility to limit the visibility o...
متن کاملRelational Scaling and Databases
More than 20 years of theoretical development and practical experience in the field of Conceptual Information Systems have made available a wide variety of structure and procedures to gain new knowledge from data or to present it in a user-friendly way, by restructuring the data in a conceptual way to help the user interpret and understand the meaning. Even longer, Database Theory has helped de...
