There is a need for further integration of information systems globally for tackling Serious Organised Economic Crime (SOEC). Taking Europe as the illustration, and levering existing pan-EU (European Union) systems such as Europol's SIENA and the FIU.NET as well as national systems, further steps can be taken to provide a more coherent and coordinated approach for detecting and deterring SOEC. This aim is achievable through the EMPRISES framework, which adds value to national, SIENA and FIU.NET systems by increasing the effectiveness of communication across Europe. EMPRISES would introduce an agreed common language (taxonomy) of SOEC, including multi-lingual support. Moreover, by enriching the taxonomy with current business tools and analysis techniques through the SOEC Architecture that EMPRISES embodies, the illegitimate businesses of SOEC can be monitored and combatted.

“…11), converts a set of triples, T , into a corresponding set of binaries, B , exploiting the direction in the triples as explained above. It is a generalised form of the CGtoFCA algorithm previously presented [5]. Whilst its application to CGs is the focus of this paper, the more general form makes it applicable to directed triples obtained from any source, including UML, RDF, OWL, the Entity-Relation Diagram and linked data.…”

“…CGFCA originated with a comparative study to Wille's Concept Graphs as stated earlier, revealing the comparative advantages of CGFCA [5,20]. CGFCAhence Triples2Binaries-is however now at a level of maturity that it can play a useful role whilst recognising the existence of other FCA approaches to triplebased structures, such as Relational Concept Analysis (RCA), EL-Implications and Graph-FCA [6,7,16].…”

Although tools exist to aid practitioners in the construction of directed graphs typified by Conceptual Graphs (CGs), it is still quite possible for them to draw the wrong model, mistakenly or otherwise. In larger or more complex CGs it is furthermore often difficult-without close inspection-to see clearly the key features of the model. This paper thereby presents a formal method, based on the exploitation of CGs as directed graphs and the application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA). FCA elucidates key features of CGs such as pathways and dependencies, inputs and outputs, cycles, and joins. The practitioner is consequently empowered in exploring, reasoning with and validating their real-world models.

“…The FCA formal context is generated from the CGs by the CGFCA software 2 [2]. Essentially, this software transforms CGs' underlying concept→relation→concept triples structure into sourceconcept relation→target-concept binaries thereby making them suitable for FCA.…”

A business enterprise is more than its buildings, equipment or financial statements. Enterprise Architecture frameworks thus include a metamodel that attempts to bring together all the enterprise concepts including the visible entities into a unified conceptual structure. Using a case study based upon the institution of the authors, the effectiveness of this conceptual structure is explored in two fold. Firstly, a simple example using familiar concepts such as the physical location of the authors' institution. Secondly, a more detailed example that includes the key enterprise concepts that currently exist within that institution. The metamodel is stated in Conceptual Graphs then mapped from these graphs' triples into transitive Formal Concept binaries using the CGFCA software. Misalignments within the enterprise concepts discovered from the derived formal concepts are highlighted in both case examples, hence pointing towards the wider applicability of this approach. or financial statements.
