W3C Standards

Mobile Web Best Practices: Released as a Web Standard in July 2008, the Mobile Web Best Practices condenses the experience of many mobile Web stakeholders into practical advice on creating mobile-friendly content, helping to improve the experience of people browsing the Web on a wide array of mobile handsets.
Device Description Repository Simple API: This document describes a simple language-neutral API to access repositories of device descriptions, allowing Web content providers to tailor their contents taking into account a range of factors such as screen size, markup language support and image format support.
mobileOK Basic: mobileOK allows to gauge whether a page was designed to be mobile-friendly.

Content Transformation Guidelines: This document provides guidance to content transformation proxies and content providers as to how inter-work when delivering Web content, especially to mobile devices.

Introductory information can be found in Web Content Accessibility and Mobile Web: Making a Web Site Accessible Both for People with Disabilities and for Mobile Devices.
Device Description Repository Core Vocabulary: This document lists a set of properties that are recommended as a basis in device description repositories.
Device Description Structures: This document explores an XML syntax and an extension to the DDR Simple API to create groups of devices that share common characteristics (manufacturers, functionalities, etc.).
Device Description Ecosystem and Device Description Landscape: These documents explore the solutions existing for the discovery of device descriptions in 2007.
