The CC/PP Working Group has released a Working Draft of Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies and the Modularization of XHTML has advanced to Proposed Recommendation status.
Background
There are currently significant efforts invested to integrate Web technologies into various devices. Web services are becoming accessible from a wide range of devices including cellular phones, TV, digital cameras and in-car computers. Commercial products and services are deployed or planned based on specifications which take the
Making a Device-Independent Web Requires Improved Communication Between User Devices and Web Servers
One of the W3C's primary goals is Universal Access. Users must be able to use their choice of devices to access Web content, in ways that are appropriate for their hardware capabilities, software, network infrastructure, native language, culture, geographical location, or physical abilities. CC/PP provides a standardized format of the description of information that will allow Web-enabled devices to effectively communicate their capabilities to the
The future is more likely to see the cooperation between existing methods and languages such as SMIL’s switch and CSS media queries as well as with emerging methods and languages. All of these refined and orchestrated through the use of CC/PP profiles and preferences.
The work on a device independent Web is not over yet. The protocols defining how profiles are exchanged, requested, or deduced by and between Web servers, proxies and agents are yet to be fully standardized, and so are the mechanisms regulating selection and transformation of content
J2EE CC/PP Processing technology lets developers write web applications that are accessed by a variety of networked client devices. This technology is developed by the Java Community Process. On this page, you will find links to the specification for the technology and the reference implementation (RI). You can download the specification and RI to start using the technology.
Write Content Once, Deliver It To Any Device!
Most web applications today are designed to be accessed from popular HTML browsers running on desktop clients. These applications
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
