  Article:   CONCEPTUAL KNOWLEDGE PROCESSING FOR DATABASES. AN OVERVIEW.

Authors:  CHRISTIAN SĂCĂREA, VIORICA VARGA.
 
       
         
  Abstract:  We present an overview of methods of Conceptual Knowledge Processing and their applications for databases, pointing out recent developments and joint research work in this field. Based on the mathematical theory of Formal Concept Analysis, we show how Conceptual Graphs can be used as a representation tool for both database structure and queries. Also we apply methods of Formal Concept Analysis to mine functional dependencies in relational databases. These methods are then discussed on several examples, presenting two software products developed so far, FCAFuncDepMine and CGDBInterface.

Key words and phrases. Conceptual Knowledge Processing, Formal Concept Analysis, Database Theory, Conceptual Graphs.
