Distributed Adaptation

Notes:

Represents multistep adaptation. Some parts of the adaptation distributed. Selection of appropriate version of a media resource, for example.
Note flow of metadata with the DU
Note multistep server side is illustrated
Note that client-side adaptation is hinted at by metadata at the devices. This could be because an assistive technology is making use of this metadata
Note the implications – how much adaptation does a step do? Commit vs. defer.
