Summary: In the last years, the main orientation of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) has turned from mathematics towards computer science. This article provides a review of this new orientation and analyzes why and how FCA and computer science attracted each other. It discusses FCA as a knowledge representation formalism using five knowledge representation principles provided by R. Davis, H. Shrobe, and P. Szolovits [“What is a knowledge representation?”, AI Magazine 14, No. 1, 17–33 (1993)]. It then studies how and why mathematics-based researchers got attracted by computer science. We will argue for continuing this trend by integrating the two research areas FCA and Ontology Engineering.For the entire collection see [Zbl 0993.00043].
