CC/PP stands for Composite Capabilities/Preferences Profile, and is a system for expressing device capabilities and user preferences. With CC/PP, a user with a specific preference, or disability-related need can clarify that even though their browser handles millions of colours, they personally can only distinguish certain colours. Or, perhaps the user navigates exclusively with a keyboard or stylus. Why do we need CC/PP? With the growing popularity of ubiquitous Web devices spread across such a broad range of media and bandwidth, authoring for the

Abstract This document describes CC/PP (Composite Capabilities/Preference Profiles) structure and vocabularies. A CC/PP profile is a description of device capabilities and user preferences. This is often referred to as a device's delivery context and can be used to guide the adaptation of content presented to that device. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is used to create profiles that describe user agent capabilities and preferences. The structure of a profile is discussed. Topics include: * structure of client capability and

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) announces the release of the Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 Recommendation. CC/PP 1.0 is a system for expressing device capabilities and user preferences, using the Resource Description Framework (RDF). Used to guide the adaptation of content, a CC/PP profile describes device capabilities and user preferences. A W3C Recommendation is the equivalent of a Web standard, indicating that this W3C-developed specification is stable, contributes to Web interoperability, and

When expressing device capabilities, the strength of CC/PP is that it has the flexibility HTTP content negotiation lacks. Far from simply defining a fixed set of preferences that would be used to build device profiles, the RDF-based framework also allows the creation of whole vocabularies, making the expression of device and agent capability, as well as user preference, infinitely extensible. Using CC/PP, creators of Web devices and user agents can easily define precise profiles for their products. Web servers and proxies can use these profiles to
