We introduce a new software system called Formal Concept Analysis Research Toolbox (FCART). Our goal is to create a universal integrated environment for knowledge and data engineers. FCART is constructed upon an iterative data analysis methodology and provides a built-in set of research tools based on Formal Concept Analysis techniques for working with object-attribute data representations. The provided toolset allows for the fast integration of extensions on several levels: from internal scripts to plugins. FCART was successfully applied in several data mining and knowledge discovery tasks. Examples of applying the system in medicine and criminal investigations are considered.
