Approaches to Concept Based Exploration of Information Resources

  • Chapter
Knowledge Discovery for Business Information Systems

Abstract

This paper discusses methods for improving the usual keyword based retrieval from information resources. Common to these methods is the use of lattices to structure the conceptual content of the information resources. The first method discussed relies on construction of ontology by a human being acquainted with a considered knowledge domain. The second approach constructs a formal concept lattice by algorithmic analysis of keyword patterns in the text.
