文摘Formal concept analysis （FCA） is a discipline that studied the hierarchical structures induced by a binary relation between a pair of sets, and applies in data analysis, information retrieval, knowledge discovery, etc. In this paper, it is shown that a formal context T is equivalent to a set-valued mapping S ： G → P（М）, and formal concepts could be defined in the set-valued mapping S. It is known that the topology and set-valued mapping are linked. Hence, the advantage of this paper is that the conclusion make us to construct formal concept lattice based on the topology.
