Formal Concept Analysis 5th International Conference, ICFCA 2007, Clermont-Ferrand, France, February 12-16, 2007, Proceedings

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Formal Concept Analysis, ICFCA 2007, held in Clermont-Ferrand, France in February 2007.
The 19 revised full papers presented together with 1 invited lecture were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. The papers comprise state of the art research from foundational to applied lattice theory and related fields, all of which involve methods and techniques of formal concept analysis such as data visualization, information retrieval, machine learning, data analysis and knowledge management.
