contents The decomposition of datasets is a useful mechanism in the processing of large datasets and it is required in many cases. 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.
