[{$pagename}] generically as used by [{$applicationname}] is a provider of [Contextual Attributes] which might be used within an [Access Control Service] for [Authorization] decisions.
!! [Higgins Project] [framework]
[{$pagename}] adds support for one or more kinds of [Contexts] to the Identity Attribute Service framework. These Contexts contain Nodes/Entities that hold attributes. A context provider is responsible for its internal data management, security, encryption, persistence, etc. The provider provides the uni- or bi-directional transformation of data from its internal structures to the normalized [IDaaS] data model. In many cases these Context Providers act as adapters or "wrappers" of existing services such as communications systems, collaboration systems, [Social networks], [Identity Provider (IDP)], games, enterprise apps, and so on. In addition to web services, [{$pagename}] can also adapt client-side [applications] such as email [clients], IM and other messaging and collaboration [apps].
