Abstract

This document presents and contrasts current efforts at applying Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to some semi structured document collections and file systems in general. Existing efforts are then contrasted with ongoing efforts using the libferris Virtual File System (VFS) as a base for FCA on file systems.
