This paper introduces a framework for relational schema navigation via a Web-based browser application that uses Formal Concept
Analysis as the metaphor for analysis and interaction. Formal Concept Analysis is a rich framework for data analysis based
on applied lattice and order theory. The application we develop, D-SIFT, is intended to provide users untrained in Formal Concept Analysis with practical and intuitive access to the core functionality
of Formal Concept Analysis for the purpose of exploring relational database schema. D-SIFT is a Web-based information systems architecture that supports natural search processes over a preexisting database schema
and its content.
