The business computer applications abound by a wide variety of incidents, some of them are minor and some of them are complex requiring high expert skills and efficient collaboration between experts in order to solve them. These practices reflect the building of operational knowledge, step by step, by Database Administrators (DBAs). They are collected and compared by organizations in order to establish secure procedures for encountered incidents. This kind of procedures can be seen as internal procedures as they have been established within an organization and not delivered by DBMS vendors. In this sense, procedures are collections of safety action sequences allowing solving a given incident in any case. These procedures are based on practices, but eliminate most of contextual information and specific features of each incident. This paper presents techniques for contextualizing database management with a focus on Contextual Graphs formalism.
