Abstract
This book is about attribute exploration, a simple but useful knowledge acquisition technique from Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). The latter is a mathematical theory of concepts and conceptual hierarchies, called concept lattices. FCA offers several highly practical methods for working with concrete qualitative data. A solid knowledge of FCA is not a prerequisite for attribute exploration, but knowing the basic ideas will help. We therefore start with an introduction.
