Abstract
The basic notions of Formal Concept Analysis are those of a formal context and a formal concept. The adjective “formal” is meant to emphasize that we are dealing with mathematical notions, which only reflect some aspects of the meaning of context and concept in standard language. However, we will write out the adjective “formal” only in the definition and leave it out later for reasons of convenience, as we have in the title of the first section. Thus, it shall be understood that where we write context or concept we actually mean a formal context or a formal concept, respectively.
