A system for processing context data comprising means for receiving context data from a plurality of sources; means for producing context information from the received context data according to a predetermined rule-set including a plurality of rules; and means for communicating the context information to at least one application, wherein the system includes means for permitting at least one protocol-source to specify instructions and/or rules related to a communication protocol for communication between the protocol-source and the system, thereby updating the means for receiving and/or the means for communicating. The system further includes means for permitting at least one rule-source to specify at least one rule thereby updating the rule-set, wherein the rule-source specifies rules for filtering and/or formatting the context data and rules for producing context information from context data. The system is used in a network (FIG. 4) for processing context data. One or more systems are implemented on a wireless apparatus.
