Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) is a method for data analysis, knowledge rep- resentation and information management that is widely unknown among in- formation scientists in the USA even though this technology has a significant potential for applications. FCA was invented by Rudolf Wille in the early 80s (Wille, 1982). For the first 10 years, FCA was developedmainly by a small group of researchers and Wille’s students in Germany. Because of the mathematical nature of most of the publications of that time, knowledge of FCA remained restricted to a group of “insiders”. Through funded research projects, FCA was implemented in several larger-scale applications, most notably an implementa- tion of a knowledge exploration system for civil engineering in cooperation with the Ministry for Civil Engineering of North-Rhine Westfalia (cf. Eschenfelder et al. (2000)). But these applications were not publicized widely beyond Germany.
