TL;DR
The TILES model is proposed to define and classify five main contextual types, and properties associated with each type for tourism‐related applications and can be generalised to support domains other than tourism, such as medical and edut...
Abstract
Purpose – The design of context‐aware mobile applications can be improved through a clear and in‐depth understanding of context and how it can be used to meet users' requirements. Using tourism as a case application, this paper aims to address the lack of understanding of context and tourists' goals.

A content analysis of 200 studies utilizing content analysis published in the communication literature between 1994 and 1998 is used to characterize practices in the field and demonstrate that mass communication researchers often fail to assess (or at least report) intercoder reliability and often rely on percent agreement, an overly liberal index.
