Restructuring Help Systems Using Formal Concept Analysis

  • Conference paper

Part of the Lecture Notes in Computer Science book series (LNAI,volume 3403)

Abstract

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.

Keywords

  • Search Term
  • Concept Lattice
  • Coherence Mapping
  • Query Expansion
  • Search Modality

These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
