Abstract: The research of object-oriented concept is one of the basic contents of formal concept analysis. To overcome the complexity of computing object-oriented concept, this paper proposes an Object-oriented Concept Acquisition model (OCA) based on attribute topology. The object-oriented attribute topology is first proposed to visualize the coupling relationship between attributes. Second, inspired by rough set theory, object-oriented attribute topology is transformed into rough object-oriented attribute topology. Furthermore, based on the weights of the edges in the rough object-oriented attribute topology, object-oriented concepts are obtained by finding reachable paths. Finally, examples and experiments are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.
