Preface
This volume contains the Proceedings of ICFCA 2007, the Fifth International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis. The ICFCA conference series intends to serve as a distinguished forum for state-of-the-art research from foundational to applied lattice theory and related fields, all of which involve methods and techniques in the realm of FCA. We believe this year’s conference provided a continuation of the high standard of its predecessors. Formal concept analysis ranges from restructuring general algebra and lattice theory, on the one hand, to providing high-level conceptual analysis and knowledge processing techniques in various applied disciplines, on the other hand. This is due to the fact that FCA allows transforming relational data into implications and dependencies and, vice versa, exploring plausible hypotheses, suggested implications, or expected dependencies against data. This all is connected with the investigation of hierarchical aspects of information—based on a mathematical formalization of conceptual hierarchy. The field of FCA has been developing way beyond its original scope and attracts a still-growing number of sophisticated research scholars, who vary from theoreticians to more practical
