Abstract

Basic relationships between Rough Set Theory (RST) and Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) are discussed. Differences between the “partition oriented” RST and the “order oriented” FCA concerning the possibility of knowledge representation are investigated. The fundamental connection between RST and FCA is that the knowledge bases of RST and the scaled many-valued contexts of FCA are shown to be nearly equivalent.
