There are two ways of adding file context mappings, either add them to a
policy package (pp) file and install them, or use semanage fcontext.

If you use a policy package the labeling will work with the existing labeling,
while semanage fcontext -a will take precedence.

semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www /WWW

Might also be usefull for saying labels under one directory should be like
labels under a different directory.

What labeling are you trying to setup?
