Ground: A Data Context Service

Summary: Ground is an open-source data-context service that centralizes metadata about Applications, Behavior, and Change to capture and expose the information that informs data use. Paper presents the ABCs framing, a common metamodel and API, analysis of storage backends, and research directions for scalable, evolvable context management.
