A good context provides essential information about the concept, (definition context) or at least some of the characteristics of the concept (explanatory context). It also shows the term being used in context. These two types of contexts provide the textual match while the associative context simply demonstrates the use of the term in the subject field but do not help to illustrate the textual match through correspondence of semantic features.
Examples
Defintion context: "BSE or ‘Mad Cow Disease’ is a progressive, fatal disease of the nervous system of cattle."
Explanatory context: "The disease has an incubation period of four to five years, but ultimately is fatal for cattle within weeks to months of its onset. BSE first came to the attention of the scientific community in November 1986 in the United Kingdom (UK)."
Associative context: "BSE is a federally reportable disease in Canada, under the authority of the Health of Animals Act."
