Semantic wikis enable collaboration between human agents for creating knowledge systems. In this way, data embedded in semantic wikis can be mined and the resulting knowledge patterns can be reused to extend and improve the structure of wikis. This paper proposes a method for guiding the reengineering and improving the structure of a semantic wiki. This method suggests the creation of categories and relations between categories using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and Relational Concept Analysis (RCA). FCA allows the design of a concept lattice while RCA provides relational attributes completing the content of formal concepts. The originality of the approach is to consider the wiki content from FCA and RCA points of view and to extract knowledge units from this content allowing a factorization and a reengineering of the wiki structure. This method is general and does not depend on any domain and can be generalized to every kind of semantic wiki. Examples are studied throughout the paper and experiments show the substantial results.

The class hierarchy is one of the most important activities of the object-oriented software development. The class design and its hierarchy is a difficult task especially when what is sought is an extensive and complex modeling. An inaccurate or incomplete class hierarchy entails manufacturing defects of the software, making it difficult to maintain or make corrections. The software design in areas like bioinformatics, systems biology and medical informatics usually requires of the designer expertise in biology and medicine, which makes it even more difficult to model class structures. This paper provides guidance for class hierarchy generation which can also be applied to database schema. The use of Formal Concept Analysis provides a theory which enables troubleshoot hierarchy of classes to accomplish the maximum factoring of classes while preserving the relationships of specialization.

“…Relational Concept Analysis (RCA), that extends FCA, has been designed to deal with that iterative abstraction extraction (Dao et al 2004). It has been later extended to make data mining with any sort of relational data (Hacène et al 2013).…”

Designing or renovating inheritance hierarchies in the domain of programming or in the domain of modeling still remains a tricky task. It involves integrating domain concepts sometimes with no clear frontier, finding the good abstractions and avoiding duplicated information. In this paper, we review research work that addressed this topic with the use of Formal Concept Analysis (concept lattices) since the seminal paper of R. Godin and H. Mili at OOPSLA'93. We overview the different attempts, the explored limits, and the current issues.
