Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a mathematical theory of concepts and c- ceptual hierarchyleadingto methods for conceptually analyzing data and kno- edge. The theory itselfstronglyreliesonorder and lattice theory,whichhasbeen studied by mathematicians over decades. FCA proved itself highly relevant in several applications from the beginning , and, over the last years, the range of application shaskept growing. The mainreasonfor this comesfromthe fact that our modern society has turned into an “information” society. After years and years of using computers, companies realized they had stored gigantic amounts of data.
