Books on Formal Concept Analysis

• Bernhard Ganter und Rudolf Wille:
  Formal Concept Analysis -- Mathematical Foundations.
  
  We have learnt from Springer in June 2004 that they have no more copies of this book. We are planning a second edition, but that may take a while. We have made some ancillary copies of the first edition.
  
  This first comprehensive textbook on the mathematics of Formal Concept Analysis starts with a short introduction to the basic mathematical notions of orders, lattices and Galois connections (chapter 0, to be skipped by most readers), gives the elementary definitions of formal context, concept lattice, many-valued contexts and conceptual scaling in chapter 1, discusses algorithms, diagrams, implications and dependencies in chapter 2, first aspects of a structure theory in chapter 3. Composition and decomposition techniques for concept lattices are studied in chapters 4 and 5. Distributivity and related properties of concept lattices, including dimension, occur in chapter 6, while in chapter 7 we study mappings both as morphisms and under the aspect of conceptual measurement.
  For the German version there is a list of errors.
