-<div class="note">
-contextualization is the specialization of a "nonlocal" entity by "fixing" the bundle that it is in. Once this is done, one can then use specialization _again_ to link a "local" entity to a "nonlocal" entity. 
+
+<p>An entity has a contextualization in a bundle since that bundle's
+descriptions provide a context in which to interpret the entity in a
+domain-specific manner.

+<p>A contextualization of an entity in a bundle implies the specialization of this entity by "fixing" the bundle that it is in.
