FYI, there are a few schema registry context-related definitions here: https://docs.redpanda.com/streaming/current/manage/schema-reg/schema-reg-contexts/#key-concepts

I am not sure what is worth documenting as glossary terms vs as concepts defined on the docs page, but I just wanted to highlight those in case you think they should be defined as glossary terms as well.

:term-name: Schema Registry context
:hover-text: An independent namespace for subjects within a Schema Registry. Contexts let multiple groups of schemas coexist in one registry without naming conflicts. The default context is named ".".
