What Does Context Delivery Architecture (CoDA) Mean?

Context delivery architecture (CoDA) is a broad-based term (commonly attributed to Gartner) that refers to the need for applications and modular parts of systems to be context aware or, in other words, to know as much as possible about a user context.

Techopedia Explains Context Delivery Architecture (CoDA)

In a sense, context delivery architecture is a component of context-aware computing (CAC). In CAC, the goal is to provide more contextual details for a specific user interaction. This can be thought of as a similar goal to some others that apply in data storage management — to break down silos, to eliminate barriers for information and to disseminate information that is stored in the broadest and most vibrant ways possible. Another way to think of this is in the specific techniques that companies use, such as cross-indexing, where archived information is, again, brought to a particular user point.
