This standard specifies tools enabling interoperable communication and adaptation of so-called Digital Items. The adaptation process becomes ever more difficult due to the heterogeneity of terminals and networks utilizing different types of multimedia contents encoded in various coding formats. Other aspects are the users� preferences and accessibility characteristics as well as the natural environment in which the content is consumed. This article describes how to use the tools within DIA in order to build a device and coding format independent adaptation module enabling interoperable multimedia communication.}, address = {Los Alamitos, USA}, language = {EN}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/Interoperable Adaptive Multimedia Communication.pdf}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society} }
