Abstract (EN): This paper presents a context-aware and Digital Rights Management (DRM)-enabled content adaptation platform developed within VISNET II Network of Excellence. Based on MPEG-21 Digital Item Adaptation (DIA) and a profiling approach, a flexible technique is presented to express context. A new type of context, integrating DRM and content adaptation, is also identified. An ontology model is proposed to take adequate adaptation decisions to satisfy user expectations. The use of standards and ontologies, and the distributed modular architecture of the platform guarantee interoperability, flexibility and scalability. The applicability of this platform is presented in the context of a Virtual Classroom scenario.
