Context Directory
Your personal compass for content discovery.
The Context Directory is where you define what matters to you. Goals, interests, location - all stored privately and used to match you with relevant structured content.
What is the Context Directory?
Instead of tracking your behavior to guess what you want, roadbeat asks you directly. The Context Directory is your personal profile service - a private store for your goals, interests, and preferences that drives all content discovery.
Goal portfolio
Define goals across time horizons - Life, Year, Month, Week, Day. Each goal translates into structured content queries.
Location preferences
Set your country, region, and district. Location data enriches discovery with geo-relevant content near you.
Interests & follows
Follow publishers, bookmark content, and build collections. Your interest graph - explicit and transparent.
Goal-driven content matching
Goals are the core innovation. Instead of opaque algorithms, your goals are translated into transparent, structured filtersets.
Define a goal: "Find cycling events near Munich" or "Learn Spanish cooking"
The system translates your goal into a filterset: content type + location + category + time horizon
Filtersets are sent to Discovery Nodes as structured queries
Matched content is returned with full transparency - you always see why each item was shown
Refine, add, or remove goals at any time. Your compass, your control.
Privacy & data sovereignty
Your Context Directory is yours. roadbeat is designed so that your personal data stays under your control.
No behavioral tracking
We never track clicks, scroll depth, or dwell time. Your profile is built from what you explicitly tell us.
Full transparency
Every content recommendation explains exactly why it was shown - which goal, which filterset, which criteria matched.
Data export & deletion
Export all your data at any time (GDPR Art. 20). Request complete deletion with a 30-day grace period.
EU-hosted
Context Directory servers are hosted in the EU. Your data never leaves European jurisdiction.
Cross-device sync
Your Context Directory account syncs across all roadbeat clients - Web, Studio, and Mobile. Log in once and your goals, bookmarks, and preferences follow you everywhere. QR-code pairing makes setup instant.
Geo intelligence
The Context Directory includes a comprehensive geographic database: 249 countries, 4,900+ regions, and 11,000+ districts - all with translations in 24 EU languages. This powers location-aware content discovery without relying on device GPS or IP geolocation.
