> Abstract: Content negotiation is a technique relevant to device
> independence that allows servers to provide clients with the most
> appropriate resource from a number of alternates. Several standards have
> been proposed for content negotiation including HTTP/1.1 server based
> content negotiation, media feature sets and most recently the Composite
> Capabilities / Preferences Profile (CC/PP). CC/PP, unlike the other two
> methods, is only concerned with the client profile and does not specify
> mechanisms for describing alternate versions of content or matching client
> profiles to content descriptions. In order to better understand how CC/PP
> may be used this report describes an implementation of HTTP/1.1-style
> content negotiation that uses CC/PP client profiles and RDF content
> descriptions. The Jena RDF Framework developed at HP Labs is used to
> implement a negotiation algorithm similar to that used by Apache Web
> Server. As CC/PP is compatible with the forthcoming Wireless Access
> Protocol (WAP) User Agent Profile (UAProf) these techniques are applicable
> to the next generation of WAP devices. This is demonstrated using an
> example profile taken from the current WAP Forum documentation.
