Abstract
Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a prominent field of applied mathematics organising collections of knowledge - formal concepts - as conceptual landscapes of knowledge. FCA proved to be a promising theory to extract, analyse and visualise conceptual structures arising from various data structures. One of the strengths of FCA is the elegant, intuitive and powerful graphical representation of landscapes of knowledge as concept lattices. The purpose of this paper is to present FCA Tools Bundle and its various features, which is a bundle of tools for dyadic, many-valued, triadic and even polyadic FCA.
