<h2><a name="abstract" id="abstract"></a>Abstract</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The purpose of the Device Independent Authoring Language (DIAL) is to
|
|
provide a markup language for the filtering and presentation of <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-web-page">Web page</a> content
|
|
available across different <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-delivery-context-v2">delivery
|
|
contexts</a>. This will facilitate an optimal <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-user-experience">user experience</a>
|
|
following <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-adaptation">adaptation</a> of the
|
|
DIAL instance document.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Please refer to the <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-dial-primer-20071101/">DIAL Primer</a> for an
|
|
introduction to the profile and its purpose.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DIAL is a language profile based on existing W3C XML vocabularies and CSS
|
|
modules. These provide standard mechanisms for representing <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-web-page">Web page</a> structure,
|
|
presentation and form interaction. The DIAL also makes use of the DISelect
|
|
metadata vocabulary for overcoming the
|
|
authoring challenges inherent in authoring for
|
|
multiple <a
|
|
href="http://www.w3.org/TR/di-gloss/#def-delivery-context-v2">delivery
|
|
contexts</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>DIAL is part of the Authoring for Device Independence work category of the
|
|
DIWG. This encompasses a number of work items associated with authoring Web
|
|
sites and applications that support access from a wide range of devices with
|
|
a variety of delivery contexts. These include work on <em>Authoring
|
|
Challenges</em>, <em>Authoring Techniques</em>, and <em>Scenarios and Extension
|
|
Markup</em>.</p>
