2 References
The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in
this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation. At the time of publication, the editions indicated
were valid. All Recommendations and other references are subject to revision; users of this Recommendation
are therefore encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent edition of the
Recommendations and other references listed below. A list of the currently valid ITU-T Recommendations is
regularly published. The reference to a document within this Recommendation does not give it, as a stand-
alone document, the status of a Recommendation.

3 Definitions
3.1 Terms defined elsewhere
This Recommendation uses the following terms defined elsewhere:
3.1.1 context [ITU-T Y.2002]: The information that can be used to characterize the environment of a user.
NOTE – Context information may include where the user is, what resources (devices, access points, noise level,
bandwidth, etc.) are near the user, at what time the user is moving, interaction history between person and objects,
etc. According to specific applications, context information can be updated.
3.1.2 object [ITU-T Y.2002]: An intrinsic representation of an entity that is described at an appropriate
level of abstraction in terms of its attributes and functions.
NOTE 1 – An object is characterized by its behaviour. An object is distinct from any other object. An object interacts with
its environment including other objects at its interaction points. An object is informally said to perform functions and
offer services (an object which makes a function available is said to offer a service). For modelling purposes, these
functions and services are specified in terms of the behaviour of the object and of its interfaces. An object can perform
more than one function. A function can be performed by the cooperation of several objects.
NOTE 2 – Objects include terminal devices (e.g., used by a person to access the network such as mobile phones, personal
computers, etc.), remote monitoring devices (e.g., cameras, sensors), information devices (e.g., content delivery server),
products, contents, and resources.
3.1.3 ubiquitous networking [ITU-T Y.2002]: The ability for persons and/or devices to access services and
communicate while minimizing technical restrictions regarding where, when and how these services are
accessed, in the context of the service(s) subscribed to.
NOTE – Although technical restrictions to access services and communicate may be minimized, other constraints such
as regulatory, national, provider and environmental constraints may impose further restrictions.
