‘Formal Concept Analysis’ is a new method of data analysis which is based on a set-theoretic model for conceptual hierarchies. Formal Concept Analysis mathematizes the philosophical understanding of a concept as a unit of thoughts consisting of two parts: the extension and the intension. The extension of a concept consists of all objects which belong to the concept. The intension comprises all attributes which are valid for all these objects.
