On-line analytical processing based on formal concept analysis

Abstract An approach to analytical decision making support based on integration of OLAP technology and Formal Concept Analysis is suggested in this paper. The base of domain OLAP modeling is considered. The construction of an analytical model with expert knowledge as a lattice of formal cube-concepts is described formally. The use of the suggested approach for constructing an analytical model of municipal procurement procedures is represented. The constructed integral analytical model of domain includes all possible combinations of analyzed objects and gives opportunity ad-hoc manipulation of them.
