3 Definitions

3.1 Terms defined elsewhere

This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere:
3.1.1 context [ITU-T Y.2002]: The information that can be used to characterize the environment
of a user.
NOTE – Context information may include where the user is, what resources (devices, access points, noise
level, bandwidth, etc.) are near the user, at what time the user is moving, interaction history between person
and objects, etc. According to specific applications, context information can be updated.

3.1.2 object [ITU-T Y.2002]: An intrinsic representation of an entity that is described at an
appropriate level of abstraction in terms of its attributes and functions.

NOTE 1 – An object is characterized by its behaviour. An object is distinct from any other object. An object
interacts with its environment including other objects at its interaction points. An object is informally said to
perform functions and offer services (an object which makes a function available is said to offer a service).
For modelling purposes, these functions and services are specified in terms of the behaviour of the object and
of its interfaces. An object can perform more than one function. A function can be performed by the
cooperation of several objects.
