PF Action Item Rich: Notify UAWG of IMS, JTC1, and Fluid Project

Hi Jan,

I am sure you know about this since you work for Jutta. I have been asked
to inform the UA WG of an effort to coordinate IMS GLC standards, ISO SC36,
and the work on Fluid Project. I am also working to synchronize this effort
with work being done in tye Ubiquitous web effort. Ultimately, the goal is
to provide mainstream, standardized vehicles for delivering user
perferences to a host system ensure proper selections of alternative
content, content adaptation, etc. Fluid, as you know, is Web 2.0 content
adaptation for an LMS.

In the future there may be a need for user agents to interact with identity
broker systems or a Device Profile Evolution server (one is currently run
by the Open Mobile Alliance) to deliver user preferences to content
providers.

ISO SC36 is an ISO version of IMS with some modifications encompassing
standards for accessibility resource meta data and user preferences.
