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
Introduction
With its massive recent growth and popularity, the Internet faces a dilemma that other forms of media have already resolved: censorship. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) quickly recognized the issues surrounding censorship and in May 1995, its members began working on the Platform for Internet Content Selection (PICS). W3C recently issued PICS specifications as a W3C Recommendation.
PICS establishes Internet conventions for label format and distribution methods, while dictating neither a labeling vocabulary nor who should pay
The idea behind the system is that sites create P3P files describing their privacy policies, which can easily be read by browser software. Visitors set their own privacy preferences on their browsers, and if those preferences and the policies of visited sites match up, everybody is happy and the system stays in the background. If they don't match, the browser can point this out and ask the user what to do. It can also prevent actions that would otherwise happen automatically, for example it can block cookies if the user's preferences don't match the
