non-variant content

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)

When the form/format of the content being sent does not depend on receiver's capabilities and/or preferences
origin server

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)

Software that can respond to requests by delivering appropriate content or error messages. The origin server may receive requests via either WSP or HTTP. Application programs executing on the origin server deliver content that is tailored in accordance with the CC/PP that can be found within the provided Profile. For the purpose of this specification, "origin server" refers to content generation capabilities, which may physically exist in a stand-alone Web server or may be co-located with a proxy or gateway.
preference

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 a preference to generate or process one particular type of message content over another, even if both are possible.
privacy

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)

Preventing the unintended or unauthorized disclosure of information about a person. Such information may be contained within a message, but may also be inferred from patterns of communication; e.g. when communications happen, the types of resource accessed, the parties with whom communication occurs, etc.
profile

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)

An instance of the schema that describe capabilities for a specific device and network. A profile need not have all the attributes identified in the vocabulary/schema.
proxy

From Composite Capability/Preference Profiles (CC/PP): Structure and Vocabularies 1.0 (2004-01-15)

Software that receives HTTP requests and forwards that request toward the origin server (possibly by way of an upstream proxy) using HTTP. The proxy receives the response from the origin server and forwards it to the requesting client. In providing its forwarding functions, the proxy may modify either the request or response or provide other value-added functions. For the purposes of this specification, "proxy" refers to request/response forwarding functionality, which may exist in a stand-alone HTTP proxy or may be co-located with a gateway or origin server.
