Universal Profilign for Content Negotiation and Adaptation: slide 14

W3C Delivery Context Workshop

Universal Profiling within the services delivery

- The universal profiling allows to the content negotiation strategy to deliver adapted services. An advanced content negotiation strategy matches inputted profiles and delivers a content according to parameters included in profiles. Profiles acquisition can be done by:

Storing them (ex. documents profiles, servers methods)

Receiving them (ex. sent by devices)

Calculating them (ex. network profiles)

- After profiles matching, one of the following content can be delivered:

° The original service
° The original service after filtering
° An existing version
° The service after adapting it by a server method
° A negative reply (to avoid client blocking)
