Abstract
This paper discusses an document discovery tool based on
conceptual clustering by formal concept analysis. The program
allows users to navigate email using a visual lattice metaphor
rather than a tree. It implements a virtual file structure over
email where files and entire directories can appear in multiple
positions. The content and shape of the lattice formed by the
conceptual ontology can assist in email discovery. The system
described provides more flexibility in retrieving stored emails
than what is normally available in email clients. The paper
discusses how conceptual ontologies can leverage traditional
document retrieval systems and aid knowledge discovery in document
collections.
