DVDSleuth: A Case Study in Applied Formal Concept Analysis for Navigating Web Catalogs
2007
Browsing images using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) for conceptual representation, navigation and clustering was shown in the ImageSleuth projects [1,2,3]. To showcase the ideas and knowledge gained through ImageSleuth, the same techniques were applied to an information space built from a dynamic collection sourced from the Amazon.com on-line store. Using the Amazon.com catalog, conceptually similar DVDs are able to be discovered and viewed, and then used to explore the information space of their conceptual neighbourhood. A case study of the project --- called DVDSleuth --- is presented in this paper focusing on the history, results and difficulties encountered by the project. The shortcomings of our approach are analysed and reported as a guide for future projects using FCA techniques for information exploration using on-line Web catalogs.
