Preface

In the field of knowledge discovery, graphs of concepts are an expressive and versatile modeling technique providing ways to reason about information implicit in a set of data. Interesting examples of this can be found under the classical mathematical theory of formal concept analysis, dedicated to the construction of a lattice of concepts by defining a Galois connection on a binary relationship. Typically, nodes of this graph represent patterns, such as sets of items, and edges represent the relationships of specificity among them. In this manuscript we will study such graph of concepts under the more complex case of data that comes in a set of structured objects; e.g. a set of sequences, trees or even of graphs. As
