Hi Gabriela
I would suggest going the Mondrian way, that is creating an
independent, scriptable framework for formal concept analysis, which
could then easily be plugged into Moose. This way you dont care if
we break something here, and we still benefit from FCA on a case-by-
case basis.
Of course designing a good API is hard but in the end, it is much
more valuable (because it gives a stable vocabulary in a unique
location) and much easier to maintain than a mix of extensions
interweaved in the system for tight integration. Doru did an
excellent job with Mondrian, we should draw inspiration from that.
What are the advantages of subclassing FamixEntity for a formal
concept? Meta description for browsing and persistence? It is not
necessary as we use pragmas to metadescribe.

Ok, it makes sense. I just loaded the last
version of ConAn, but
some error popped up. What is the status ? Where you happy about
the implementation?
I can port SCG-Algorithm to Pharo, this shouldn't be a problem
since I am experienced in this kind of porting.
I suggest to use the Moose mailing list for FCA related discussion.
Cheers,
Alexandre

Hi Alex,
In fact, this is because when I finished my phd, my prototype was
almost broken due to the continuous changes in moose.
So I decided that the next version of ConAn would be Moose
independent to avoid to suffer with Moose evolution and also to be
able to work with any domain (not necessary related to Moose). The
implementation you have seen is something I started last year
recovering my code from my prototype in Store in Bern.
I know the advantages of FAMIXEntity, but it was a nightmare to
repair ConAn in the times that Moose changes a lot.
Anyway, and considering that moose seems to be stable, I think
that we can make it a subclass of that class. I should think about
it.
cheers,

PS: When are you moving to Chile?
Hi Gabriela,
I was wondering why your implementation of FCA isn't implemented
as an extension of FAMIX. Even if FCA has little to do with
Structural entities in OO languages, FAMIXEntity could be
inherited. For example, why FormalConcept is not a subclass of it?
Cheers,
Alexandre
