In formal concept analysis (FCA), the dataset is interpreted as a context and the notion of independent context is relevant in the decomposition of a context. In this paper, we have introduced a formal definition of independent context within the multi-adjoint concept lattice framework, which can be translated to other fuzzy approaches. Furthermore, we have analyzed the decomposition of a general bounded lattice in pieces, that we have called blocks. This decomposition of a lattice has been related to the existence of a decomposition of a context into independent subcontexts. This study will allow to develop algorithms to decompose datasets with imperfect information.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Formal concept analysis}, keywords = {Multi-adjoint framework}, keywords = {Independent subcontext}, keywords = {Block of elements}, title = {Independent subcontexts and blocks of concept lattices.
