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
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
