Abstract
A method includes retrieving, at a context sensor associated with an information object, first contextual information from a source external to the context sensor. The first contextual information includes domain-independent information associated with the information object. The method also includes generating second contextual information based on application of at least one derivation rule to the first contextual information. Alternately, or in addition, the second contextual information may be generated based on application of the at least one derivation rule to a combination of the first contextual information and other contextual information associated with another context sensor. The second contextual information includes domain-specific information associated with the information object. The method further includes adding the second contextual information to the information object.
