FcaStone - FCA file format conversion and interoperability software
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents FcaStone a software for FCA file format conversion and interoperability. The paper both describes the features of FcaStone and discusses FCA interoperability issues (such as the specific difficulties encountered when connecting FCA tools to other tools). The paper ends with a call to the FCA community to develop some sort of standard FCA Interchange Format, which could be used for data exchange between stand-alone applications and across the web.

FCA Software Interoperability
This paper discusses FCA software interoperability from a variety of angles: because the central FCA structures, formal contexts and concept lattices, can be represented in non-FCA software, interoperability with such software is of relevance. The non-FCA software in question is spreadsheet, relational database, graph and vector graphics software. The simplest approach to interoperability consi...
متن کاملData conversion and interoperability for FCA
This paper proposes a tool that converts non-FCA format data files into an FCA format, thereby making a wide range of public data sets and data produced by non-FCA tools interoperable with FCA tools. This will also offer the power of FCA to a wider community of data analysts. A repository of converted data is also proposed, as a consistent resource of public data for analysis and for the testin...
متن کاملThe FcaFlint Software for Relation Algebra Operations on FCA Contexts
FcaFlint is a tool that implements context operations for FCA formal contexts. It is part of the FcaStone package. This paper provides an introduction to Relation Algebra operations as used by FcaFlint and discusses the commandline interface and implementation details of FcaFlint.
متن کاملOn Interoperability in Distributed Geoinformational Systems
Means for providing in a centralized manner a technical interoperability of distributed geographic information systems are suggested. A "format conversion module" which is optimal from the point of view of security and scalability of geoinformational systems and a low cost of software upgrade is developed. The solution is based on the file-server-embedded software that performs the format conve...
متن کاملRelation Algebra Operations on Formal Contexts
This paper discusses the use of relation algebra operations on formal contexts. These operations are a generalisation of some of the context operations that are described in the standard FCA textbook (Ganter & Wille, 1999). This paper extends previous research in this area with respect to applications and implementations. It also describes a software tool (FcaFlint) which in combination with Fc...
