- attribute, or CC/PP attribute
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A CC/PP attribute refers to the data elements describing the
profile and is denoted as an RDF property. Each CC/PP attribute is
associated with a value or a list of values or am RDF resource.
NOTE
: this is quite distinct from an XML attribute;
except where the meaning obvious in context, the term "CC/PP
attribute" is generally used to emphasize this usage.
- cache
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A storage area used by a server or proxy to store data
resources that have been retrieved or created in response to a
request. When a new request for a "cached" data resource is
received, the server or proxy can respond with the cached version
instead of retrieving or creating a new copy.
- cacheable
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A data resource is said to be "cacheable" if the data
resource
contains a property that allows a server to determine whether the
cached resource matches a request for a similar resource.
- capability
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
An attribute of a sender or receiver (often the receiver)
which
indicates an ability to generate or process a particular type of
message content. See also "CC/PP Attributes".
- CC/PP processor
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A CC/PP processor transforms a CC/PP document from its RDF
format into some other format. A CC/PP processor understands CC/PP
syntax and structure, including "defaults", but it does not
understand application semantics associated with CC/PP attributes
of CC/PP components.
- CC/PP repository
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A server that stores the user agent profile or profile
segments
persistently in a form that may be referenced by and incorporated
into a profile. A CC/PP repository is typically a Web server that
provides CC/PP profiles or profile segments in response to HTTP
requests.
- client
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
An entity that is the original compositor of a CC/PP
profile.
- confidentiality
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Protecting the content of a message from unauthorized
disclosure.
- content generation
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
For the purpose of this specification, "content generation"
refers to generating content appropriate to the user agent profile
of the request by using the user agent profile as input to a
dynamic content generation engine. The XSL and style sheets of the
document are used to tailor the document to the user agent profile
of the request.
- content negotiation
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
The mechanism for selecting the appropriate representation
when
servicing a request. The representation of entities in any response
can be negotiated (including error responses).
- content provider
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A server that originates content in response to a
request.
- content selection
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
For the purpose of this specification, "content selection"
refers to selecting an appropriate document from a list of possible
choices or variants by matching the document profile with the user
agent profile of the request.
- data resource
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A data object that can be transferred across a network. Data
resources may be available in multiple representations (e.g.
multiple languages, data formats, size, resolutions) or vary in
other ways.
- document
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
For the purpose of this specification, "document" refers to
content supplied in response to a request. Using this definition, a
"document" may be a collection of smaller "documents", which in
turn is a part of a greater "document".
- document profile
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Document profiles offer a means to characterize the features
appropriate to given categories of user agents. For instance, one
profile might include support for style sheets, vector graphics and
scripting, while another might be restricted to the tags in HTML
3.2. Document profiles can be used by servers to select between
document variants developed for different user agent categories.
They can be used to determine what transformations to apply when
such variants are not available. Content developers can use
document profiles to ensure that their Web sites will be rendered
as intended.
- dynamic content
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Content that is generated in response to a request. This may
be
used for content that depends on changing environmental factors
such as time (e.g., stock quotes) or place (e.g., nearby gas
stations)
- feature
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Functional property of a device or entity.
- gateway
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Software that is capable of bridging disparate network
protocols. For the purposes of this specification, "gateway" refers
to protocol bridging functionality, which may exist in a
stand-alone gateway or may be co-located with a proxy or origin
server.
- hint
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
A suggestion or preference for a particular option. While
this
option is strongly recommended, its use is not required.
- machine understandable
-
From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)
Data that is described with tags that associate a meaning to
the data (i.e., an "author" tag would describe the author of the
document), allowing data to be searched or combined and not just
displayed.
