Advert date December 2007 Oracle Corporation introduced OracleConText first as a software option, then as an Oracle data cartridge a server based software module for text retrieval when it released version 8 of the Oracle database in 1997. It used the default schema CTXSYS and the default tablespace DRSYS. With the appearance of version 8i of the Oracle database in 1999, a re designed ConText became Oracle interMedia Text part of the separately priced Oracle interMedia bundle of products. The release of version 9i of the database in 2001 saw a renaming of Oracle interMedia Text as Oracle Text and its re incarnation as a standalone subsystem, integrated with and included in the cost of the database software. Functionality When integrated with any text storage system, OracleConText can analyze text and provide text filtering and text reduction for speed reading speed reading and summary viewing. OracleConText can return detailed grammar grammatical assessments of the text it processes, checking for grammatical errors and rating the quality and Stylistics linguistics style of the writing.

Context Management is a dynamic computer process that uses subjects of data in one application, to point to data resident in a separate application also containing the same subject. Context Management allows users to choose a subject once in one application, and have all other applications containing information on that same subject tune to the data they contain, thus obviating the need to redundantly select the subject in the varying applications. An example from the healthcare industry where Context Management is widely used, multiple applications operating in context through use of a context manager would allow a user to select a patient i.e., the subject in one application and when the user enters the other application, that patient s information is already pre fetched and presented, obviating the need to re select the patient in the second application. The further the user drills into the application e.g., test, result, diagnosis, etc. all context aware applications continue to drill down into the data, in context with the user s requests. Context Management is gaining in prominence in healthcare due to the creation of the Clinical Context Object Workgroup standard committee CCOW which has created a standardized protocol enabling applications to function in a context aware state. Context Management is gaining in the Business Rule market as well. Knowing the context of any information exchange is critical. For example a seller may need to know such things as is this shipment urgent, is this a preferred customer, do they need English or Spanish, what model is the part for? Without context, mistakes and run on costs rapidly ensue. In automating information integration, knowing and defining context of use is the single most pervasive and important factor. This context mechanism is at the heart of allowing users to quantify what their context factors are precisely, this removes the guess work from business transaction exchanges between business transaction information ... more details
WS Context is a web services specification developed by OASIS organization . It is part of the WS CAF suite. Its purpose is to provide a means to reference a shared context, which relates a set of interactions between web services termed an activity . This context provides details of the application specific execution environment for these services, and is typically included in the header of SOAP message. Contexts may be passed by value, or by reference, in which case they are retrieved using a Context Manager service. A Context Service is described, which allows management of activities by means of the begin and complete operations, which create and destroy the context respectively.

In the philosophy of language , the context principle is a form of semantic holism holding that a philosopher should never ... ask for the meaning of a word in isolation, but only in the context of a proposition Frege 1884 1980 x . It is one of Gottlob Frege s three fundamental principles for philosophical analysis, first discussed in his Introduction to the Foundations of Arithmetic Grundlagen der Arithmetik , 1884 . Frege argued that many philosophical errors, especially those related to psychologism in the philosophy of logic and philosophy of mathematics , could be avoided by adhering carefully to the context principle. The view of meaning expressed by the context principle is sometimes called contextualism , but should not be confused with the common contemporary use of the term contextualism in epistemology or ethics. The contrasting view, that the meanings of words or expressions can be or must be determined prior to, and independently of, the meanings of the propositions in which they occur, is often referred to as compositionalism. The context principle also figures prominently in the work of other Analytic philosophy Analytic philosophers who saw themselves as continuing Frege s work, such as Bertrand Russell and Ludwig Wittgenstein .

In archaeology , not only the context physical location of a discovery is a significant fact, but the formation of the context is as well. An archaeological context is an event in time which has been preserved in the archaeological record . The cut archaeology cutting of a pit or ditch in the past is a context, whilst the material filling it will be another. Multiple Fill archaeology fills , seen as layers in archaeological section would mean multiple contexts. Structural Feature archaeology features , natural deposits and inhumation s are also contexts. By separating a site into these basic, discrete units, archaeologists are able to create a chronology for activity on a site and describe and interpret it. Artifacts in the main are not treated as contexts but belonging of them. Contexts are sometimes referred to as either positive or negative depending on whether their formation added or removed material from the archaeological record . Negative contexts are Cut archaeology cut s. It can not be stressed too strongly how fundamentally important the concept of context is in modern archaeological practice. Suitability of single context planning The use of context as discrete units does not necessitate single context recording methodologies but it does facilitate its use and popularity. Single context recording is a system of recording and planning which treats each context on par in the process of excavation. The system of planning creates a superimposable stack of semi transparent plans that can be stacked in stratigraphic order to reconstruct the site as it was excavated.

Orphan date February 2009 An operating context OC for an application is the external environment that influences its operation. For a mobile application, the OC is defined by the hardware and software environment in the device, the target user, and other constraints imposed by various other stakeholders, such as a carrier. This concept differs from the operating system OS by the impact of these various other stakeholders. Example Here is an example of one device, with one operating system, changing its operating context without changing the OS. A user with a mobile phone changes SIM card s, removing card A, and inserting card B. The phone will now make any telecommunications network network calls over cell phone carrier A s network, rather than B s. Any applications running on the phone will run in a new operating context, and will often have to change functionality to adapt to the abilities, and business logic, of the new carrier. The network, spectrum, and wireless protocol all change in this example. These changes must be reflected back to the user, so the user knows what experience to expect, and thus these changes all change the user interface UI also. Hardware agnostic context Situations exist where one can program in a context, with less concern about what hardware it will actually run on. Examples include Flash and Android operating system Android . Unfortunately, it also quite common that code in a hardware free context will see hardware specific bugs. This is common with software written for, that interacts more directly with, personal computer PC hardware, or mobile phone s.

Context theory is the theory of how environmental design and environmental planning planning of new development should relate to its context. When decisions have been taken they are implemented by means of Land use planning Land Use Plans , Zoning Zoning Plans and Environmental impact statement Environmental Assessments . A number of context theories set out principles for relationships new designs and the existing environment. Theories Picturesque theorists argued that landscapes should be composed like a picture ie a landscape painting with a foreground, a middle ground and a background. The theory was applied to landscape garden s in the eighteenth century and as Nikolaus Pevsner argued to the wider topic of regional planning in the twentieth century. This produced the context theory that towns the foreground should be compact and urban, that the surrounding countryside the middle ground should retain its agricultural character and that remote areas the background should remain as natural parks. Modernism Modernist town planners lacked sympathy with picturesque context theory. Their firm belief that form follows function led to the prioritising of certain human needs over environmental considerations or deeper issues of meaning. When planning a new road, for example, the emphasis was on traffic analysis and engineering rather than on the relationship between the new road and its environmental context. Ian McHarg opposed Modernist planning in his book Design with nature . He believed that new development should be preceded by the fullest possible analysis of the environmental context in which building would take place. The highway planners who were, in his view, destroying the American landscape at that time were described as highwaymen . Kenneth Frampton put forward a context ... new architecture and its context.

We have little trouble reading H and A in their appropriate contexts, even though they take on the same form in each word. Context effect is the aspect of cognitive psychology that describes the influence of environmental factors on one s perception of a stimulus. The concept is supported by the theoretical approach to perception known as constructive perception . This top down theory indicates cognitive use of sensory information to construct a completed perception and works in opposition to bottom up approaches. Context effects can come in several forms, including configural superiority effect which demonstrates varying degrees of spatial recognition depending on if stimuli are present in an organized configuration or present in isolation. ref Pomerantz, J.R. 2003 .

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date March 2009 Context filtering is an anti spam mail policy method that does not deal with the contents of the mail but rather uses the context of the SMTP connection to decide whether a mail will be accepted or not. This method usually prevents reception of an e mail in the first place thus, common anti spam features like quarantine, redirect or delete can not be applied. This method also distorts statistics of anti spam programs because it is usually unknown how many mails Spam or otherwise would have been received through a certain connection. Filtering by context includes methods like DNSBL lookups, domain or IP blacklists, etc. This method has an extremely low rate of false positive s and false negative s. On the plus side, this method is usually saving Bandwidth computing bandwidth and server utilization. The most common context filter is DNSBL filtering. The efficiency of this method depends on the blacklist used. For high volume mail sites, it is recommended to set up local copies of the DNSBLs of your choice and fill them through Domain Name System DNS zone transfer s. This reduces the permanent traffic through external DNS lookups. Some DNSBLs also allow only a certain amount of queries by day for every IP address to keep their expenses on bandwidth low.

confusing date May 2009 expert subject date February 2011 An opaque context is a linguistic context in which it is not always possible to substitute co referential expressions usually grammatically singular terms salva veritate . In other words, substitution of co referential expressions into an opaque context does not always preserve truth. For example, Lois believes x is a hero is an opaque context because Louis believes Superman is a hero is true while Lois believes Clark Kent is a hero is false, even though Superman and Clark Kent are co referential expressions. The term is used in Philosophy philosophical Theory of reference theories of reference , and is to be contrasted with transparent context . In rough outline Opacity Mary believes that Cicero is a great orator gives rise to an opaque context although Cicero was also called Tully , we can t simply substitute Tully for Cicero in this context Mary believes that Tully is a great orator and guarantee the same truth value, for Mary might not know that the names Tully and Cicero refer to one and the same thing. Of course, if Mary does believe that Cicero is a great orator, then there is a sense in which Mary believes that Tully is a great orator, even if she does not know that Tully and Cicero corefer . It is the sense forced on us by direct reference theories of proper names, i.e. those that maintain that the meaning of a proper name just is its referent. Transparency Cicero was a Roman orator gives rise to a transparent context there is no problem substituting Tully for Cicero here Tully was a Roman orator . Both sentences necessarily express the same thing if Cicero and Tully refer to the same person. Note that this element is missing in the opaque contexts, where a shift in the name can result in a sentence that expresses something different from the original.
