Device Independence

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Device Independence is making the web accessible by any device under any circumstance and by all people. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has initiated the Device Independence Working Group whose aim is for a unified web which is accessible from many types of devices. Its mission is to avoid the breaking up of the web into spaces which only subsets of devices can access.

One key publication of the Device Independence Working Group is the Composite Capability/Preference Profiles recommendation.
