Abstract

Conceptual Knowledge Processing is understood as the general scientific discipline which activitates acts of thinking such as representing, reasoning, acquiring, and communicating conceptual knowledge. In this contribution, first a short introduction to the foundation of Conceptual Knowledge Processing is presented. Then the theoretical background based on Formal Concept Analysis is sketched. The main content of this contribution is a discussion of the practice of Conceptual Knowledge Processing which demonstrates for twelve selected general acts of thinking how they can be successfully applied by using different methods of Conceptual Knowledge Processing.

This paper is an updated English version of the German publication [Wi00b].
