contextualised and decontextualised fragments are both useful
- saving context with content is often neglected
- digital metadata often inadequate
- doesn’t save the things that are meaningful to the collector
- saves things commercially useful or useful to platform owner
- the kinds of context people need
- task based, topic based, etc
- original context helps in refinding
- context of saving needed for bookmarking
- (Hwang, Herder and Ronchetti, 2017)
- “A Link Back to MemoryLane: The Role of Context in Bookmarking and Refinding”
- discussion of context being important for revisiting sites - huangIRCHIVERInformationCentricPersonal2025
- context of saving needed for bookmarking
- benefits of decontextualised content
- ‘raw’ data eg text is reusable
- interdisciplinarity
- outside its usual reach
- “A single piece of content can ultimately be used in many different contexts to the one for which it was originally intended.” quickref#^06b2bb
- ‘raw’ data eg text is reusable
- problems of decontextualised content
- lacking authorship
- lacking info on perspectives/purposes embedded in its creation
- ‘raw’ or ‘atomic’ is still contestable - what is an atom in this context, anything that provides meaning? right down to a single bit? ‘raw’ likely still has context embedded in it that is now obscured and assumed universal. define everything, everything relies on something else, everything takes a perspective
- satire, devices employed for teaching, unfiltered early thoughts etc taken out of context of their assumed truth/falsity/etc
- cross-cultural mismatch, translation error
- digital metadata often inadequate
