Abstract

The proliferation of Internet-enabled devices supporting a variety of user-interface paradigms and modalities motivates the need to create presentations of content that are optimized for the specific configurations that they must be rendered on. As a result, there is also a need for a standardized capabilities-and-content negotiation mechanism that will allow clients accessing the web to assert their capabilities to the server serving the content. This paper discusses Composite Capabilities/ Preferences Profile (CC/PP), a protocol-independent extensible framework that can be used for communicating any meta data information such as device and document profiles. We describe WAP User Agent Profiles as a use case and recommend the architecture for conveying contextualized information to enable context based environmental adaptation in the future.
