Abstract

For a context, using an inducing bipartite graph, this paper provides a character-ization for a concept and establishes a matroid. Further, with the assistance of thismatroid, this paper seeks out the lattice structure of all the concepts with a hierarchicalorder. All these results shows the potential and merit in using matroidal approachesfor designing and studying concept lattice.
