CC/PP

CC/PP (Composite Capabilities/Preferences Profile, www.w3.org/Mobile/CCPP/) is a standard based on Resource Description Framework (RDF). A CC/PP profile is a description of device capabilities and user preferences. For a lot of devices such as a PC, but also a mobile phone or a PDA, CC/PP provides a standard format of information description enabling then any Web terminal to communicate these capacities with a given server in a detailed way.

CC/PP is already used; the toolkit CC/PP intel contains, CC/PP Client Proxy, Client Profile Manager API, Server Profile Repository, Server Content Customization Module. Another interesting example of integration is the UPS (universal profiling schemata) profile package; it is a Java package for the creation of valid CC/PP profiles (examples of profiles using the specific fr.inrialpes.opera.upsprofiles package are available on the web ).
