Abstract

A method is provided for transferring content between a first mobile device (10) and a second mobile device (20). The method includes: internally storing the content on the first mobile device (10) using a first data representation for the internally stored content on the first mobile device (10); establishing a common syntax and associated semantics for describing the content; creating a first external manifest (16) on the first mobile device (10) from the internally stored content on the first mobile (10), the first external manifest (16) employing the common syntax and associated semantics to describe the content; transferring the content from the first external manifest (16) to a second external manifest (26) created on the second mobile device (20), the second external manifest (26) also using the common syntax and associated semantic to describe the content; and, internally storing the content on the second mobile device (20) using a second data representation for the internally stored content on the second mobile device (20).
