and mobile terminals and at an open standards-based framework that permits
services in a multi-vendor environment
Note: The initiative for OMA was launched by Nokia and more than nineteen other industry leaders to define an open architecture to enhance mobile services. The principles of the Open Mobile Alliance are that products and services are based on open, global standards, protocols, and interfaces; the application layer is bearer-independent; the architecture framework and service enablers are independent of the operating system (OS); and applications and platforms are interoperable, providing geographic and inter-generational roaming. The Open Mobile Alliance was created by joining the Open Mobile Architecture initiative and WAP Forum. In addition, the Location Interoperability Forum (LIF), SyncML, MMS Interoperability Group (MMS-IOP), and
General definition for common use: An organisation that is designed to be the centre of mobile application standardisation work, helping the creation of interoperable services that will meet the needs of the user across countries, operators, and mobile terminals. The Open Mobile Alliance was formed in June 2002 by nearly 200 companies representing the world's leading mobile operators, device and network suppliers, information technology companies, and content providers.
XHTML ; extensible
hypertext markup language
Definition: hypertext markup language (HTML) to which new elements and
attributes can be defined and added and that is an application of extensible
markup language (XML)
Note: In XHTML, all HTML markup elements and attributes (the language of HTML) are supported. Unlike HTML, however, XHTML can be extended by anyone that uses it. New elements and attributes can be defined and added to those that already exist, creating new ways to embed content and programming on a web page.
General definition for common use: A markup language that consists of HTML elements combined with the syntax of XML. The specification for XHTML is a web standard.
wireless markup language ;
WML
Definition: markup language that is designed for the representation of data via
wireless access
Note: WML is part of the wireless application protocol (WAP). WML is similar to
HTML but more restricted.
General definition for common use: A language describing the structure of data
that allows the data of web pages to be presented on mobile devices via
wireless access.
wireless application
protocol ; WAP
Definition: open, global standard for total mobile solutions, including
communication between a mobile handset and the Internet or other computer
applications
Note: WAP-based technology enables the design of advanced, interactive, and real-time mobile services, such as mobile banking or Internet-based news services, which can be used on mobile devices. The WAP specification enables solutions from various suppliers to work consistently for end-users on digital networks. Feature/application: Internet.
Context: 1. An error has occurred in the WAP gateway; The WAP application can be used to access Internet services which are based on the Wireless Access Protocol (WAP).
General definition for common use: An open international standard for applications that use wireless communication. The main application based on WAP is Internet access from a mobile device, which can be used, for example, for banking, e-mail exchange, ticket purchase, and news services.
multimedia messaging service
; multimedia message service ; MMS
Definition: messaging service for sending and receiving multimedia messages
Note: The multimedia messaging service combines conventional text messages with
richer content types, such as photographs, images, voice clips, and video
clips. The multimedia messaging service is used with multimedia terminals, for
example WAP clients, which can receive and process multimedia messages.
General definition for common use: A messaging service that combines conventional text messages with other content types, such as photographs, images, sound clips, and video clips. The multimedia messaging service is used with multimedia phones, which can receive and process multimedia messages.
general packet radio service ;
GPRS
