classes of devices and user agents can be used in CC/PP components,
and how to create schemas that encapsulate existing vocabularies.
It discusses the results of the coordination with the IETF CONNEG
Working Group, as well as the WAP Forum UAPROF Working Group and
several other groups, which have related activities. It contains a
number of schemas and software examples which has been contributed
voluntarily by individuals.</p>
                        <p>It also gives an example of heuristics, which can be used to
adapt content to a CC/PP profile, thus giving some guidelines for
those who want to use CC/PP to implement content adaptation. It
also serves to provide vocabulary and schema designers with key
guidelines regarding extensions to existing vocabularies or
development of new ones.</p>

Description Format of the W3C, to create a general, yet extensible
framework for describing user preferences and device capabilities.
This information can be provided by the user to servers and content
providers. The servers can use this information describing the
user's preferences to customize the service or content provided.
The ability of RDF to reference profile information via URLs
assists in minimizing the number of network transactions required
to adapt content to a device, while the framework fits well into
the current and future protocols being developed a the W3C and the
WAP Forum.</p>
