11.2.4 Content management

Content can be provided as resources to an MOC application or end users by different MOC device
providers (e.g., content providers and end users).

The content management capability provides the extraction of appropriate information (including
size, type, location) from content, enabling the MOC capabilities in the NGN domain to ensure the
integrity of the content itself.

The content management capability provides profiling of content as appropriate to enable its
delivery to different MOC applications, such as content for specific MOC applications or content
for a specific MOC end user.

The content management capability provides dispatching of content in order to expose content to
applications.

For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].

11.2.5 Application provisioning
This capability is used for the deployment of applications in a secure way by the MOC application
provider when applications are available for deployment. This capability provides application
packaging, publishing, deployment, lifecycle management and monitoring functions.

For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].

11.2.6 Context management
This capability collects, aggregates and manages context information related to different context
sources, exposing context information, including to other MOC capabilities, according to the MOC
application provider's policies.
For further details on this capability see [ITU-T Y.2240].

11.2.7 MOC resource registry
This capability provides the functionalities related to the registration, de-registration, discovery and
governance of resources offered by MOC device providers. Registration-oriented resource
descriptions including unique resource identification and resource addressing are published in the
MOC resource registry.

This capability defines a mechanism for a resource of an MOC device provider to be registered
within the MOC capabilities in the NGN domain, so that this resource can be located and accessed
by applications.

This capability corresponds functionally to the resource registry capability in [ITU-T Y.2240] when
adapted to the context of MOC.
11.2.8 MOC resource repository

This capability provides functionalities for the storage of information related to the registered MOC
resources. Being stored in the MOC resource repository, the MOC resource information can be
accessed by the authenticated and authorized MOC applications. Information related to the
registered resources includes various suitable packaging tools for application developers.
This capability corresponds functionally to the resource registry capability in [ITU-T Y.2240] when
adapted to the context of MOC.

11.2.9 MOC resource manager
This capability performs the control functions for resources provided by NGN and MOC devices in
order to satisfy the MOC applications' requirements, including the management of the dynamic
