AB  - In the last years, the main orientation of Formal Concept Analysis
<p>    (FCA) has turned from mathematics towards computer science. This
<p>    article provides a review of this new orientation and analyzes why
<p>    and how FCA and computer science attracted each other. It discusses
<p>    FCA as a knowledge representation formalism using five knowledge
<p>    representation principles provided by Davis, Shrobe, and Szolovits
<p>    (1993). It then studies how and why mathematics-based researchers
<p>    got attracted by computer science. We will argue for continuing this
<p>    trend by integrating the two research areas FCA and Ontology Engineering.
<p>
<p>    The second part of the article discusses three lines of research which
<p>    witness the new orientation of Formal Concept Analysis: FCA as a
<p>    conceptual clustering technique and its application for supporting
<p>    the merging of ontologies; the efficient computation of association
<p>    rules and the structuring of the results; and the visualization and
<p>    management of conceptual hierarchies and ontologies including its
<p>    application in an email management system.
