Despite modern mobile processors and high-resolution displays, mobile devices will never reach the stage of a powerful notebook or desktop system (for example, due to the fact of battery powered CPUs or just concerning the small-sized displays). Due to these limitations, the deliverable content for these devices should be adapted based on their capabilities including a variety of aspects (e.g., from terminal to network characteristics). These capabilities should be described in an interoperable way. In practice, however, there are many standards available and a common mapping model between these standards is not in place. Therefore, in this paper we describe such a mapping model and its implementation aspects. In particular, we focus on the whole delivery context (i.e., terminal capabilities, net- work characteristics, user preferences, etc.) and investigated the two most prominent state-of-the-art description schemes, namely User Agent Profile (UAProf) and Usage Environment Description (UED).}, address = {Chennai, India}, keywords = {CC/PP, DCO, Delivery Context, Metadata, UAProf, UED}, language = {EN}, pdf = {https://www.itec.aau.at/bib/files/A Survey on Delivery Context Description Formats – A Comparison and Mapping Model.pdf}, publisher = {Digital Information Research Foundation} }
