Summary

FEP-7888 attempts to lay out clarifications for the use of the context property based on rationale and history, in which context is used primarily to logically group objects related by their "context", or in other words, stating that some object "was created in relation to" another object, where the latter object denotes some purpose for the first object.

In response to FEP-7888, and motivated by the desire to backfill entire conversations, various softwares wishing to federate have chosen to directly represent context as a Collection of objects acknowledged to be "within" some canonical context collection. This FEP describes this approach, its usages, and some drawbacks.
