 <h4>Contextualization</h4>
 
-
+<p>The following notion is a relation between two entities with regard to a bundle (referred to as remote bundle). In contrast, the bundle in which this relation occurs is referred to as local bundle.</p>

-<p>Something identifiable has a contextualization in a bundle since that bundle's
-descriptions provide a context in which to interpret that thing in a
-domain-specific manner.
+<p>A bundle's
+descriptions provide a context in which to interpret an entity in a
+domain-specific manner.  The contextualization of this entity with respect to this bundle offers the opportunity to specialize it according to domain-specific interpretation.

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