Abstract

Moving from implicitly modelling context to explicit context models allows to regard contextual information throughout the whole lifecycle. Explicit context models created at information production time (i.e. the context of the information producer) may be stored together with the information itself. The explicit retrieval context model may then be matched against the stored model, enhancing retrieval. We define our understanding of context, show how context models change the information flow within an OM, and present ideas on how to construct, represent, and use explicit context models.
