Abstract
Protoconcept exploration is developed as a knowledge acquisition tool for exploring the structure of protoconcept algebras similar to concept exploration for concept lattices. In this paper first results are presented. In particular, an algorithm is introduced that interactively determines the finitely generated subalgebra of a protoconcept algebra. Although it creates a redundant set of questions it shows clearly which information from the user is needed and it serves as a basis for a future, optimized algorithm.
