In this book, we propose to extract high-level conceptual knowledge from databases. Our main contribution is in the mining of different types of data dependencies (in relational and XML data) – we also focus on dependency management, inconsistency prevention, and semantic data extraction, showing how our approaches contribute to conceptual knowledge discovery. We propose to study how Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) can offer a natural approach for discovering formal concepts in the data which are described in the form of formal context, discovering the data dependencies, and visualizing them by a single conceptual structure called the concept lattice.
