Meta-Modelling in Formal Concept Analysis

Formal Concept Analysis starts from a very basic data structure comprising objects and their attributes. Sometimes, however, it is beneficial to also define attributes of attributes, viz., meta-attributes. In this paper, we use Triadic Formal Concept Analysis, a triadic approach to Formal Concept Analysis, to develop a framework for this kind of meta-modelling in Formal Concept Analysis, including formal definitions and appropriate visualizations.
