Dynamic Schema Navigation Using Formal Concept Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a framework for relational schema navigation via a Web-based browser application that uses Formal Concept Analysis as the metaphor for analysis and interaction. Formal Concept Analysis is a rich framework for data analysis based on applied lattice and order theory. The application we develop, D-SIFT, is intended to provide users untrained in Formal Concept Analysis with practical and intuitive access to the core functionality of Formal Concept Analysis for the purpose of exploring relational database schema. D-SIFT is a Web-based information systems architecture that supports natural search processes over a preexisting database schema and its content.

متن کاملAn Approach Towards Classifying and Navigating RDF data based on Pattern Structures
With an increased interest in machine processable data, more and more data is now published in RDF (Resource Description Framework) format. This RDF data is present in independent and distributed resources which needs to be centralized, navigated and searched for domain specific applications. This paper proposes a new approach based on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to create a navigation space ...
متن کاملQuerying Relational Concept Lattices
Navigating a Concept Lattice Family w.r.t a Query Introduction Relational Concept Analysis (RCA) constructs conceptual abstractions from a relational context family (RCF). An RCF is sets of objects described by both own properties and inter-object links. It generates several lattices that are connected via relational attributes. Navigating such interrelated lattice family in order to find conce...
متن کاملModelling Dynamics in Semantic Web Knowledge Graphs with Formal Concept Analysis
In this paper, we propose a novel data-driven schema for largescale heterogeneous knowledge graphs inspired by Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). We first extract the sets of properties associated with individual entities; these property sets (aka. characteristic sets) are annotatedwith cardinalities and used to induce a lattice based on set-containment relations, forming a natural hierarchical str...
