Relational Exploration - Reconciling Plato and Aristotle

Abstract. We provide an interactive method for knowledge acquisition combining approaches from description logic and formal concept analysis. Based on present data, hypothetical rules are formulated and checked against a description eory. We propose an abstract framework (Logical Domain Exploration) for this kind of exploration technique before presenting a concrete instantiation: Relational Exploration. We give a completeness result and provide an overview about some application fields for our approach: machine learning, data mining, and ontology engineering.
