This is conexp-clj, a general purpose software tool for [Formal Concept

Analysis](http://www.upriss.org.uk/fca/fca.html).    Its main purpose is to

enable nontrivial examples to be computed easily, but it can be used for much,

much more.

## History



The project has been started by Daniel Borchmann under supervision of Christian

Meschke as part of the DFG project GA 216/10-1.  It has since been developed

further into a general purpose FCA tool by Daniel Borchmann until his departure

from academia in 2017.  From then on, Tom Hanika took over and is still the

principal maintainer of `conexp-clj`.



## Limitations



Note that `conexp-clj` is not a high-performance tool for Formal Concept

Analysis and may sometimes be considerably slower then comparable tools.  If you

want more performance, check out Uta Priss' [website on FCA

software](http://www.upriss.org.uk/fca/fcasoftware.html).
