The W3C Device Descriptions Working Group (DDWG) and Device Independence Working Group (DIWG) would like to thank the OMA DCAP group for its comments [1]. The comments relate to the DDWG's so-called 'top-N' device characteristics. These resulted from a survey of the DDWG membership in which they were asked to identify those characteristics of devices that were most important to content adaptation. Within W3C both the DDWG and the DIWG have a particular interest in such characteristics. Within OMA, DCAP also has an interest in device characteristics in its work on DPE. All three groups have a need for an appropriate vocabulary for such characteristics. DIWG and DDWG would like to suggest that development of a vocabulary for device characteristics could benefit from collaboration with OMA DCAP. DDWG and DIWG would further like to suggest that such a vocabulary might be based on the initial ontology work that was presented at the recent DCAP face-to-face meeting in San Francisco [2]. That ontology itself is based on UAProf 2. During the first day of the DDWG face-to-face meeting in Boston, under topic 7, the group formally resolved to consider feedback from the OMA with respect to the development of the ontology for device properties. The availability of people who are members of DIWG, DDWG and OMA DCAP would seem to provide a possible vehicle for that collaboration. DIWG and DDWG look forward to a fruitful collaboration with DCAP on the subject of device characteristics.
