Hi
I am working on a Sample Application in ASP.NET MVC which uses three sources WURFL,mobile.browser and DeviceAtlas. I am generating a report which will compare the data taken from DeviceAtlas, WURFL and mobile.browser file. I have taken mobile.browser file as my reference and trying to map this feilds to other feilds in WURFL and DeviceAtlas to check the Authenticity of the data.
The Report shows lot of coincidence between the data from mobile.brower and WURFL but there is lot of differences between deviceAtlas.
So my Question. How can I map the property feilds between these three sources.
For example:
http://mdbf.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?title=Capabilities&referringTitle=Home - Gives the properties from mobile.browser
http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/help_doc.php - Properties from WURFL
http://deviceatlas.com/properties - Properties from DeviceAtlas.
How to map these feilds?
Also I am not able to find the default values in deviceAtlas. When the value is empty what it means? Not Available OR false OR true.
Thanks

DeviceAtlas includes WURFL as one of its sources of information for some of its properties. It should be more or less obvious which ones can be mapped directly to/from WURFL ones, but there are quite a few that aren't in WURFL at all at all.
Also, DeviceAtlas doesn't tell you anything it doesn't know. If WURFL doesn't know something, it will always return a value, regardless of its authenticity. If DeviceAtlas doesn't know something, it won't pretend that it does :)
