Abstract

Processing a received message includes receiving a message that includes a plurality of values associated with respective data elements that assign an information category to each of the values. The message further includes a plurality of context values belonging to respective context categories. The method includes identifying, in a relevance record and for a first one of the context categories in the message, at least one of the data elements that is relevant for the context value of the first context category. A rule associated with the context value of the first context category is applied to the value of the identified at least one data element. A system includes a message receiving module, a context value module and a processing module.
