The purpose of this paper is to study the construction of concept lattice from variable formal contexts.Composition and decomposition theories are proposed for the unraveling of concept lattice from contexts with variable attribute set in the process of information updating.The relationship between the extension sets of the original context and that of its sub-context is analyzed.The composition and decomposition theories are then generalized to the situation involving more than two sub-contexts and the situation with variable attribute set and object set.
