Abstract
This is the second part of a large survey paper in which we analyze recent literature on Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) and some closely related disciplines using FCA. We collected 1072 papers published between 2003 and 2011 mentioning terms related to Formal Concept Analysis in the title, abstract and keywords. We developed a knowledge browsing environment to support our literature analysis process. We use the visualization capabilities of FCA to explore the literature, to discover and conceptually represent the main research topics in the FCA community. In this second part, we zoom in on and give an extensive overview of the papers published between 2003 and 2011 which applied FCA-based methods for knowledge discovery and ontology engineering in various application domains. These domains include software mining, web analytics, medicine, biology and chemistry data.

Knowledge-based recommendation: a review of ontology-based recommender systems for e-learning

TL;DR: This study shows that use of ontology for knowledge representation in e-learning recommender systems can improve the quality of recommendations and hybridization of knowledge-based recommendation with other recommendation techniques can enhance the effectiveness of e- learning recommenders.

Toward principles for the design of ontologies used for knowledge sharing

TL;DR: The role of ontology in supporting knowledge sharing activities is described, and a set of criteria to guide the development of ontologies for these purposes are presented, and it is shown how these criteria are applied in case studies from the design ofOntologies for engineering mathematics and bibliographic data.

Using Information Content to Evaluate Semantic Similarity in a Taxonomy

TL;DR: In this article, a new measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy based on the notion of information content is presented, and experimental evaluation suggests that the measure performs encouragingly well (a correlation of r = 0.79 with a benchmark set of human similarity judgments, with an upper bound of r < 0.90 for human subjects performing the same task).

Using information content to evaluate semantic similarity in a taxonomy

TL;DR: This paper presents a new measure of semantic similarity in an IS-A taxonomy, based on the notion of information content, which performs encouragingly well and is significantly better than the traditional edge counting approach.
