Publication of DDR Core Vocabulary (Working Group Note)

The W3C DDWG is pleased to announce the publication of the " Device
Description Repository Core Vocabulary" [1] as a Working Group Note.

>From the abstract:

  Web content delivered to mobile devices usually benefits from being
  tailored to take into account a range of factors such as screen size,
  markup language support and image format support. Such information is
  stored in "Device Description Repositories" (DDRs).

  This document describes a simple API for access to DDRs, in order to
  ease and promote the development of Web content that adapts to its
  Delivery Context.


This publication is the result of considerable effort by members of the
DDWG and significant public contributions during a consultative process
in which the dominant properties affecting the adaptation of Web content
were determined.

The core vocabulary is intended to be read in conjunction with the
recent publication of the DDR Simple API (draft of an intended W3C
Recommendation) [2].


On behalf of the DDWG,
Rotan Hanrahan,
Chair.
