Abstract

Formal concept analysis is an important approach of knowledge representation and data analysis. This paper focus on the dependence among formal contexts with common object set. A partial order relation among formal contexts is first introduced and its properties are examined. Subsequently, The notion of independence of a formal context is proposed by which attribute reduction of formal context is investigated. An useful conclusion is obtained, that is, all formal contexts with common object set form a lattice.
