  "definition": "Metadata typically describing an environmental media/compartment of the flow origin or destination (e.g., “to air”). Although the term compartment is sometimes used, we use the term context to provide a broader meaning that includes the directionality (e.g. “resource” or “emission”) and additional information. For this report there are two main types of context: the primary context which consists of the directionality (“resource”, “emission”) and environmental media/compartment (“air”, “water”, “ground” and “ biotic”); and secondary context which provide further detail on the flow context, such as land use, release height, etc. [Original source: https://cfpub.epa.gov/si/si_public_record_Report.cfm?dirEntryId=347251&Lab=NRMRL].",
