Constructing the information management system based on ontology and concept lattices

Abstract

Concept lattice, the main data structure in formal concept analysis theory, has been widely applied to many fields such as machine learning, knowledge discovery, information retrieval and software engineering. Ontology has become increasingly popular because it promises a shared and common understanding of knowledge domains that can be communicated between people and application systems. The main contributions of this paper is presenting applying formal concept analysis theory and ontology to construct information system of management knowledge, and the experiments shows the CPU Time in the attribute numbers, indicating that FCA is superior to ontology in building the information management system. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
