FCAView Protégé Tab Plugin Manual

...

We use an example project that is downloadable to explain how to use the FCAView Tab plug-in. After opening the example project, you would see the following.

We assume that the instances (i.e. the formal objects) of a class in Protégé-2000, together with its own slots (i.e. the formal attributes), could form a formal context that would interest the users. In particular, two kinds of formal context can be formed:

...

The following figure shows the instances of the class FamilyMember: father, mother, daughter and son.

Clicking the FCAView Tab, you would see the following.

At first, you have to select a class (here, e.g. FamilyMember) in a class browser in left panel. And then you click the button Show Context at the bottom of left panel.

Then you would see a dialog panel as follows.

In this dialog panel, you have two selections for attributes type. One is for the Slots with Boolean Type, and one is the Slots with Multiple Instance Type.

By selecting the first one and clicking button OK, you would see another dialog panel as follows. You could select the attributes indicating the name of slots with Boolean type in this dialog panel.

By selecting the second one and clicking button OK, you would see another dialog panel as follows. You could select the attributes indicating the name of slots with Multiple Instance type in this dialog panel.

After making the selection and clicking the button Confirm, you would see that a formal context is formed as a cross table as follows.

By clicking the fifth button above the cross table (Build Lattice), you would see a lattice diagram of the formal context as follows.

In the current step, we think we only developed a basic model for two common cases. Several advanced models have been proposed and are under active development.
