Combining FCA Software and Sage
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses in how far FCA software can be combined with the computer algebra system Sage. The motivation for this paper is teaching mathematics to software engineering students using Sage and FCA which highlights differences and connections between mathematical and computational structures. Furthermore, this paper provides implementation details on how Sage’s functions for matrices, graphs, and poset/lattice theory can be applied to FCA data and concludes with hints for how to build an FCA/Sage tool.

A Mapping from Conceptual Graphs to Formal Concept Analysis
A straightforward mapping from Conceptual Graphs (CGs) to Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is presented. It is shown that the benefits of FCA can be added to those of CGs, in, for example, formally reasoning about a system design. In the mapping, a formal attribute in FCA is formed by combining a CG source concept with its relation. The corresponding formal object in FCA is the corresponding CG ta...
متن کاملInteractive Visualization of Formal Concept Lattices
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is suitable for use within organisations at different levels of maturity in information management. It takes as input a bigraph, into which both structured and unstructured data can be readily transformed, and produces a multiple-inheritance type hierarchy suitable for formal knowledge representation. Accordingly, FCA has been widely applied in areas such as inform...
متن کاملFCA Software Interoperability
This paper discusses FCA software interoperability from a variety of angles: because the central FCA structures, formal contexts and concept lattices, can be represented in non-FCA software, interoperability with such software is of relevance. The non-FCA software in question is spreadsheet, relational database, graph and vector graphics software. The simplest approach to interoperability consi...
متن کاملA Proposal for Combining Formal Concept Analysis and Description Logics for Mining Relational Data
Recent advances in data and knowledge engineering have emphasized the need for formal concept analysis (FCA) tools taking into account structured data. There are a few adaptations of the classical FCA methodology for handling contexts holding on complex data formats, e.g. graph-based or relational data. In this paper, relational concept analysis (RCA) is proposed, as an adaptation of FCA for an...
متن کاملFcaStone - FCA file format conversion and interoperability software
This paper presents FcaStone a software for FCA file format conversion and interoperability. The paper both describes the features of FcaStone and discusses FCA interoperability issues (such as the specific difficulties encountered when connecting FCA tools to other tools). The paper ends with a call to the FCA community to develop some sort of standard FCA Interchange Format, which could be us...
