This paper presents a preliminary model of formal contexts based on situation theory. It also gives a worked-out example to show the use of contexts in lifting, i.e., how propositions holding in a particular context transform when they are moved to another context. This is useful in NLP applications where preserving meaning is a desideratum.

Situation theory has two primitive notions: infons and situations. It represents a context by on a situation type that supports two kinks of infons: (i) factual infons to state facts, and (ii) constraints (which correspond to parametric condidtionals) to capture the if-then relations holding within the contest. It also shows how to do lifting with this model. It has two major advantages over other context models: 1. Dynamic contexts through nonmonoticity 2.
