Abstract

Contextual Attribute Logic is part of Contextual Concept Logic. It may be considered as a contextual version of the Boolean Logic of Signs and Classes. In this paper we survey basic notions and results of a Contextual Attribute Logic. Main themes are the clause logic and the implication logic of formal contexts. For algorithmically computing bases of those logics, a common theory of cumulated clauses is presented.
