A context (short from application context) is the setup of the system for a specific use-case.
It is a central concept of CCIL that each data manipulation activity is realized within some context. As a matter of fact, it is one of the main features of the information as a phenomena - a unit of information might mean different things depending of the context it is being handled in. The context in its turn is formed by other units of information. The same rule applies for them.
It consists of a folder within context/apps which contains context.properties file. This file defines all the stages and pipelines within the CCIL application.
