In this paper we propose an approach which combines semantic resources and formal concept analysis to deal with heterogenous data sets represented as many-valued (MV) formal contexts. We define a new Galois connection considering the semantic relationships between attribute values in a MV context. The semantic relationships are used to calculate the similarity between attribute values to decide whether an attribute is shared by a set of objects or not. Then, based on this Galois connection, we define MV formal concepts and MV concept lattices. Depending on a chosen similarity threshold, MV concept lattices may have different levels of precision. We take advantage of this feature to browse the content of a biological databases repository in a dynamic and progressive way. The browsing process combines the navigation in several MV concept lattices and allows zooming operations by switching between MV concept lattices with higher or lower precision.
