Context? Yes, but to whom?
Venet Osmani, Sven van der Meer · SETU Waterford Libraries - Open Access Repository · 2005
In this paper we propose an entity-centric definition of context information and in turn a definition of context.So far the definitions of context given by various authors have considered context as an absolute concept, however we challenge this view.We argue that context cannot be defined globally, rather it is a relative concept that depends on the entity that perceives it.This is the starting principle for our definition.In this paper we also present preliminary work on using mathematical formalism to describe this definition.
