The '''Device Description Repository''' (DDR) is a concept proposed by the [[MWIMobile Web|Mobile Web Initiative]] [[W3C Device Description Working Group|Device Description Working Group]] (DDWG) of the [[World Wide Web Consortium]]. The DDR is supported by a standard interface and an initial core vocabulary of device properties. Implementations of the proposed repository are expected to contain information about Web-enabled devices (particularly mobile devices). Authors of Web content will be able to make use of repositories to adapt their content to best suit the requesting device. This will facilitate the interaction and viewing of Web pages across devices with widely varying capabilities.
Information in a repository should include information such as the screen dimensions, input mechanisms, supported colors, known limitations, special capabilities etc.
