Review text

Background knowledge can be used to reduce the number of implications from which all valid implications in a given situation can be derived. In formal concept analysis, the background knowledge can be described by a formal context, which contains the given situation as a subcontext. The author presents a calculus, and an algorithm for reducing the number of implications. He shows its use for many-valued formal contexts and the exploitation of symmetry within the context. The theory is illustrated by a real-world example. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0928.00014].
