The context for any term is important as it shapes the way the term is used in writing. Context can include:
  1. Audience: who is the intended audience for this term (e.g., general public, employees, students)
  2. Context (also known as register; e.g., academic, scientific, formal, informal)
  3. Domain or discipline this concept belongs to or is associated with (e.g., humanities)
  4. Sector (i.e., business sector; e.g., marketing)
  5. Jurisdiction (i.e., country)
  6. Language: designate which language this term has been added using (e.g., English-American)
Remember the acronym: ACDSJL
