Abstract: Various implementations provide a Context-Rich Key (“CRK”) Framework for managing computing, networking, concepts, and context from human and system-of-systems perspectives. The CRK Framework provides an environment for defining and implementing interoperability models for collections of distributed applications and/or systems within a digital culture, and for managing concepts between digital cultures. In some implementations, a digital processing system receives a global request, e.g. for information related to a target concept. In some implementations, if the digital processing system has access to data relevant to the target concept, the digital processing system identifies an appropriate local object. In some implementations, the digital processing system then processes the global request to generate and initiate or run a local action. Upon initiation of the local action, local action results are generated.
