== Hands-on experience with formal concept analysis ==
The formal concept analysis can be used as a qualitative method for data analysis. Since the early beginnings of FCA in the early 1980s, the FCA research group at TU Darmstadt has gained experience from more than 200 projects using the FCA (as of 2005).<ref name="FCAFaA">{{harvnb|Ganter|Stumme|Wille|2005}}</ref> Including the fields of: [[medicine]] and [[cell biology]],<ref>{{citation |author1=Susanne Motameny |author2=Beatrix Versmold |author3=Rita Schmutzler |editor1=Raoul Medina |editor2=Sergei Obiedkov|periodical=Icfca 2008|title=Formal Concept Analysis for the Identification of Combinatorial Biomarkers in Breast Cancer |series=LNAI |volume=4933 |publisher=Springer |location=Berlin Heidelberg |pages=229–240 |isbn=978-3-540-78136-3 |date=2008 |url=https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783540781363 |access-date=2016-01-29}}</ref><ref>{{citation |author1=Dominik Endres |author2=Ruth Adam |author3=Martin A.
