Abstract
An approach is provided for providing an ordering metric for a multi-dimensional contextual query. An ordering platform determines a multi-dimensional query associated with at least one user device, wherein the multi-dimensional query specifies, at least in part, one or more personas, one or more contexts, or a combination thereof associated with the at least one user device. The ordering platform further causes, at least in part, an execution of the multi-dimensional query on at least one context-sensitive database to generate one or more results. The ordering platform further determines at least one ordering metric for the one or more results based, at least in part, on one or more user contextual attributes of the at least one user device.
