Abstract
A mechanism to enable context-sensitive attributes which comprise an attribute value and a context value defining the applicability of the attribute value in a computer application. The mechanism is adapted to manipulate the context-sensitive attributes, for example to facilitate creation of attribute values with associated context values, retrieve attribute values associated with a specific context value and search based on attribute values within a context value.
