The response that a server replies with to a request in an adaptive
content negotiation style contains a representation that has most likely
undergone an adaptation process. Adaptation can be performed internally by
the server or by using another service to perform this task, for example:
performing a transformation that requires a lot of processing power [63].
Adaptation is successful if the final delivered representation is more
understandable to the user based on his/her context.
