Context

An intersection of Time and Place in which Entities may play roles.

Comments	Context: Example Releasing a Product in France on May 5th 2005 is an Event; a Product being available for sale in France from May 5th 2005 until December 25th 2005 is a State.
	Context: Scope A Context is an Entity derived from the two primitives of Time and Place and a verb. A basic Context comprises only a Time and a Place (e.g., "Here and Now", or "10.15 pm on July 31st 1984 in London"). However, most Contexts involve one or more other Entities playing roles as Resources, where the nature of the roles played by the Resources is determined by one or more verbs which underpin the Context and describe its characteristic behavior.
Relationships
Parents	Entity	Something that may be represented by a Name.

	State	A Context in which there is no acknowledged change in the attributes of any Entity.
