Definition of Contextualize / Contextualization

Our group [Sybelle, Nate, Jerry, Daniel] started off pondering 'what does contextualize mean?' It seem worth offering a some definitions and additional information which will iluminate the concept.

Consider the following definitions of 'Contextualization.'


	Meriam Webster Definition of 'Contextualization' 


	Wiktionary Definition of 'Contextualization'
       

I [Jerry] would paraphrase these, suggesting that to contextualize is to consider [a need] and understand it within the context [situation] where it occurs; then to describe the context.

Sybelle found an article which presents some very pertinent ideas related to 'Contextualized Information Retrieval.


	Myriad: An Architecture for Contextualized Information Retrieval and Delivery
