Abstract

   The Rich Presence Information Data Format (RPID) adds elements to the
   Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) that provide additional
   information about the presentity and its contacts. This information
   can be translated into call routing behavior or be delivered to
   watchers, for example.  The information
   is designed so that much of it can be derived automatically, e.g.,

1 Introduction

   The PIDF definition [1] describes a basic presence

   This extension includes information data
   format about what the presentity is
   doing (the activity element), a grouping identifier for exchanging presence information in CPIM-compliant systems.
   It consists of a <presence> root element, zero or more <tuple>
   elements carrying presence information, zero or more <note> elements
   and zero or more extension elements from other name spaces.  Each tuple defines (the
   class element), the type of tuple (the contact-type element), whether
   a basic status contact is idle (the idle element), the typle of either "open" or "closed".

   This document provides additional status information for presentities
   and defines place a Rich Presence Information Data Format for Presence
   (RPID) to convey this information.

   This extension has three main goals:

        1.   Provide rich presence indication that presentity
   is in (the placetype element), whether the presentity is at least as
             powerful as common commercial presence systems. Such
             feature-parity simplifies transition to CPIM-compliant
             systems, both in terms a public
   or private space (the privacy element), the relationship of user acceptance and protocol
             conversion.

        2.   Maintain backwards-compatibility with PIDF, so that PIDF-
             only watchers and gateways can continue to function
             properly, naturally without access a tuple
   to another presentity (the relationship element), and the functionality
             described here.

   We make no assumptions how the information in overall
   role of the presentity (the sphere element).

   Experience has shown that users are not always diligent about
   updating their presence status. Thus, we want to make it as easy as
   possible to derive RPID information from other information sources,
   such as calendars, the status of communication devices such as
   telephones, typing activity and physical presence detectors as
   commonly found in energy-management systems.

   The information in a presence document can be generated by a single
   entity or can be composed from information published by multiple
   entities.

   Many of the elements correspond to data commonly found in personal
   calendars. Thus, we attempted to align some of the extensions with
   the usage found in calendar formats such as iCal [10] and xCal [11],
   as noted below.

   Note that PIDF documents and this extension can be used in two
   different contexts, namely by the presentity to publish its presence
   status and by the presence server to notify some set of watchers. The
   presence server MAY compose, translate or filter the published
   presence state before delivering customized presence information to

   the watcher. For example, it may merge presence information from
   multiple PUAs, remove whole elements, translate values in elements or
   remove information from elements. Mechanisms that filter calls and
   other communications to the presentity can subscribe to this presence
   information just like a regular watcher and in turn generate
   automated rules, such as scripts [12], that govern the actual
   communications behavior of the presentity.

   The flow diagram below illustrates this process.

2 RPID Features

   Below, we summarize and motivate the major additional features that
   RPID adds to PIDF.

   The PIDF definition does not clearly describe what a <tuple>
   represents. We add an <class> element (Section 6.3) that allows a
   presentity to label tuples in ways that make sense to the presentity,
   e.g., to group similar tuples by name. The <contacttype> element
   describes whether a tuple is a device, a set of devices with a common
   address ("service"), a human face-to-face contact or a presentity.

   While the PIDF definition describes which means of communications are
   available for a presentity, it does not describe the activity that
   the presentity is currently engaged in. The <activity> (Section 6.2)
   element adds this information.

   The <idle> (Section 6.5) element indicates when the device was last
   used or simply whether it has been idle.

   To help the watcher gauge the appropriateness of different types of
   communications, we indicate the type

   PIDF                        March 2004


1. Scope

   The Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) defines a <timestamp> element indicating the date and time of
   the status change of basic format
   for representing presence information for a tuple. RPID adds presentity.  That format
   defines a validity period for
   <activity>, <placetype> textual note, an indication of availability (open or
   closed) and <privacy> values, as a hint how long the
   current status is likely to be valid.

   An important sub-case is that a presentity URI for communication.  However, it is interruptible only
   under unusual circumstances, after mediation by some, typically
   human, authority such as a secretary or supervisor. We allow the
   presentity frequently
   useful to convey that certain contact addresses actually belong
   to additional information about a different person, presumably one that can either interrupt the
   presentity or otherwise assist. The <relationship> (Section 6.8)
   element allows to indicate user that a particular tuple refers needs to a
   different principal or presentity.

   Note that this document does not defined a new content type. Rather,
   it inherits the content type from [1], namely application/cpim-
   pidf+xml

3 Scope

   This extension does be
   interpreted by an automata, and is therefore not replace media negotiation mechanisms defined appropriate for SIP (e.g. SDP [2]), therefore media negotiation (e.g., choice
   placement in the note element of
   voice and video codecs) MUST be performed according to [3]. the PIDF document.  This
   extension is only aimed document
   defines extensions to give the watchers hints about PIDF document format for conveying richer
   presence information. Generally, the
   presentity's preferences, willingness and capabilities extensions have been chosen to communicate
   before watchers initiate SIP-based communication with

   writing, in addition to elements that could readily be derived
   automatically from existing sources of presence, such as calendaring
   systems, or sources describing the presentity.

2. Terminology and Conventions

   This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in the IMPP Model
   document [4]. [5].  Terms such as CLOSED, INSTANT MESSAGE, OPEN, PRESENCE
   SERVICE, PRESENTITY, WATCHER, and WATCHER USER AGENT in the memo are
   used in the same meaning as defined therein.  The key words MUST,
   MUSTNOT,
   MUST NOT, REQUIRED, SHOULD, SHOULDNOT, SHOULD NOT, RECOMMENDED, MAY, and
   OPTIONAL in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP XX,
   14, RFC 2119 [5].

5 [1].

3. The Meaning of "open" and "closed"

   PIDF describes the basic status values of "open" or "closed" only as
   "have meanings of general availability for other communications
   means". We define "closed" in our context as meaning that
   communication to the contact address will in all likelihood not
   succeed, is undesired or will not reach the intended party.  (For
   example, a presentity may include a hotel phone number as a contact.
   After check-out, the phone number will still ring, but reach the
   chambermaid or the next guest.  Thus, it would be declared "closed".)
   For "pres" contacts, "closed" means that no presence status

Internet Draft                    RPID                     July 31, 2003
   information is available.


        The interpretation of "closed" was chosen since there is no
        other status value to indicate that a communications
        address is not reachable. Omitting the <contact> element
        does not work since it would confuse watchers that have not
        previously seen an "open" status for the same contact
        address.

4. RPID Elements

6.1

4.1 Introduction

   Below, we describe the RPID elements in detail.  <activity>, <idle>
   <placetype>, <privacy>, <relationship>,  <activities>,
   <idle>, <placetype> and <privacy> extend the PIDF <status> element,
   while <class> and <class>, <contacttype> and <relationship> extend the PIDF

Internet-Draft                    RPID                        March 2004


   <tuple> element.

   In general, it is highly unlikely that a presentity will publish or
   announce all of these elements at the same time.  Rather, these
   elements were chosen to give the presentity maximum flexibility in
   deriving this information from existing sources, such as calendaring
   tools, device activity sensors or location trackers, as well as to
   manually configure this information.

   The namespace URIs for these elements defined by this specification
   are URNs [6], [2], using the namespace identifier 'ietf' defined by [7] [4]
   and extended by [8]:


      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid-status
      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:rpid-tuple



6.2 Activity [6]:

      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status:rpid-status
      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status:rpid-tuple

   This document uses a separate namespace for extending the PIDF
   'status' namespace, in accordance with Section 4.2.5 of [7].

   All elements described in this document are optional.

   The elements <activity>, <placetype>, <privacy> and <sphere> MAY be
   qualified with the 'since' and 'until' attributes to describe the
   absolute time when the element assumed this value and the absolute
   time until which is element is expected to be valid.  The 'since'
   time MUST be in the past, the 'until' time in the future relative to
   the time of publication of the presence information and, if
   available, the PIDF 'timestamp' element.

4.2 Activities Element

   The <activity> indication <activities> element describes what the presentity is currently
   doing.  This can be quite helpful to the watcher in judging how
   appropriate a communication attempt is and which means of
   communications is most likely to succeed and not annoy the
   presentity. The activity indications correspond roughly to the
   category field in calendar entries, such as Section 4.8.1.2 of RFC
   2445 [9].


        Use of an enumerated, but extensible, set of activity

        categories simplifies automated generation and processing
        of presence information. The categories can be readily
        selected from a drop-down list by the user or translated
        from the corresponding activity field in calendars.
        Recipients of this information can render at least a subset
        as icons, automatically translate them into different
        languages or convert them to sound "jingles" and speech, or
        use them to generate call processing rules. [10].

   An activity indication enumeration consists of one or more values drawn from the
   list below, any other token string or IANA-registered values (Section
   10). Communities of interest such as a profession
   Section 7).

   Depending on the presentity intent, all but the "permanent-absence"
   indication can be used with either status OPEN or an organization
   may define additional activity labels for their internal use.

        On-the-phone: CLOSED.

   on-the-phone: The presentity is talking on the telephone. This
      activity is included since it can often be derived automatically.

        Away:
   away: The presentity is physically away from the device location.
      This activity was included since it can often be derived
      automatically from security systems, energy management systems or
      entry badge systems.

        Appointment:
   appointment: The presentity has a calendar appointment.

        Holiday: appointment, without
      specifying exactly of what type.  This activity is indicated if
      more detailed information is not available or the presentity
      choses not to reveal more information.
   holiday: This is a scheduled national or local holiday. This
      information can typically be derived automatically from calendars.

        Meal:
   meal: The presentity is scheduled for a meal.  This activity category
      can often be generated automatically from a calendar.

        Meeting:
   meeting: A meeting is a sub-class of an appointment. This activity
      category can often be generated automatically from a calendar.

        Steering:
   steering: The presentity is controlling a vehicle, ship or plane.

        In-transit:
   in-transit: The presentity is riding in a vehicle, such as a car, but
      not steering. Alternatively, the presentity MAY
             offer  The 'placetype' element provides more specific information.

        Travel:
      information about the type of conveyance the presentity is using.
   travel: The presentity is on a business or personal trip, but not
      necessarily in-transit.  This category can often be generated
      automatically from a calendar.

        Vacation:
   vacation: Leisure travel.  This activity category can often be
      generated

   sleeping: This activity category can often be generated automatically
      from a calendar, local time information or biometric data.

        Busy:
   busy: User is busy, without further details. This While this activity
             category
      would typically be indicated manually.

        Permanent-absence: associated with a status of CLOSED, a
      presentity may declare itself busy to discourage communication,
      but indicate that it still can be reached if needed.
   permanent-absence: Presentity will not return for the foreseeable
      future, e.g., because it is no longer working for the company.

   The <activity> element MAY be qualified with the 'from' and value 'since' and 'until'
   attributes as described in Section 4.

   The <activities> element can be used with tuples of all values of
   <contact-type>.  For tuples consisting of multiple physical devices,
   i.e., of <contact-type> 'service' or 'presentity', these components
   can engage in multiple types of activities, particularly if qualified
   by a <relationship> element.  In those cases, the time until which is <activities>
   element is expected to enumerates all unique values as child <activity> elements.

   The <activities> element can be valid.

4.3 Class

   The 'class' attribute describes the class of the tuple.  Multiple
   tuples can have the same class name within a presence document.  The
   naming of classes is left to the presentity.  The presentity can use
   this information to group similar tuples or to convey information
   that the presence agent can use for filtering.


        The class description is similar in spirit to the 'class'
        attribute of XML elements, used to support Cascading Style
        Sheets.

6.4


4.4 Contact-Type Element

   The <contacttype> element describes the type of the tuple.  A tuple
   can represent a communication facility ("device"), a face-to-face
   communication tuple ("in-person"), a set of devices offering a common
   service ("service"), or a whole presentity ("presentity").
   Additional types can be registered with IANA.


        URI schema are insufficient to distinguish the different
        types of tuples.


4.5 Idle Element

   For example, a SIP URI can designate tuples representing a single device, i.e., having a presentity or a subgroup
   <contact-type> of devices.

6.5 Idle Element

   The 'device', the <idle> element records the absolute
   time and date the communication device was last used.  This provides
   an indication as to how likely a user is to answer the when contacting
   that device.  A device that has not been used in a while may still be
   OPEN, but a watcher may choose to first contact a

   OPEN and has been used more recently.  Note that the idle time refers
   to the whole device, not just the particular service.  For example, a
   tuple describing an instant messaging device expresses the last time
   that the PC or PDA was used, not the last time an instant message has
   been sent.

   For tuples representing a 'presentity' or 'service' with multiple
   devices, the device with the most recent usage, i.e., the shortest
   idle time, determines the idle time for the whole tuple.

   The use of 'idle' for tuples with contact-type 'in-person' is both OPEN and not marked as idle.
   defined.

   The <idle> element can be empty if the presentity wants to indicate
   that the device has not been used for a while, but does not want to
   reveal the precise duration: duration, as in:

     <idle/>

   The <idle> element SHOULD be included in the presence document if the
   idle time exceeds a user-setable threshold, with a RECOMMENDED
   default value of 10 minutes.  Configuration MUST include the option

4.6 Type of Place Element

   The <placetype> element describes the type of place the presentity is
   currently at. This offers the watcher an indication what kind of
   communication is likely to be appropriate. We define an initial set
   of values below:

   home: The presentity is in a private or residential setting, not
      necessarily the personal residence of the presentity, e.g.,
      including hotel or a friend's home.
   office: The presentity is in a business setting, such as an office.
   quiet: The presentity is in a place such as a library, restaurant,
      place-of-worship, or theater that discourages noise, conversation
      and other distractions.
   public: The presentity is in a public area such as a shopping mall,
      street, park, public building, train station, airport or in public
      conveyance such as a bus, train, plane or ship. Alternatively,  This general
      description encompasses the more detailed indications below
             may be provided. precise descriptors 'street',
      'public-transport', 'aircraft', 'ship', 'bus', 'train', 'airport',
      'mall' and 'outdoors' below.
   street: Walking in a street.
   public-transport: Any form of public transport, including aircraft,
      bus, train or ship.
   aircraft: The presentity is in a plane, helicopter or balloon.
   ship: Water vessel, boat.
   bus: Public or charter bus.
   train: The presentity is traveling in a train.

      cable car or similar conveyance.
   airport: Airport, heliport or similar location.
   station: Bus or train station.
   mall: Shopping mall or shopping area.
   outdoors: General outdoors area, such as a park or city streets.

   This list can be augmented by free-text values or additional IANA-
   registered
   IANA-registered values (Section 10). Section 7).

   The placetype <placetype> element MAY can be qualified used with the 'from' and value and
   the time until which is element is expected to tuples of all values of
   <contact-type>.  For tuples consisting of multiple physical devices,
   i.e., of <contact-type> 'service' or 'presentity', these devices can
   be valid. The relative
   to the publication in multiple types of places.  In those cases, the presence information. <placetype>
   element enumerates all unique values as a token list.

   The placetype <placetype> element can MAY be used by logic executing on qualified with the
        watcher or by a composer to filter, sort 'since' and label tuples.
        For example, a composer may have rules that limit the
        publication of "home" tuples to a subset of the watchers.

6.7 'until'
   attributes as described in Section 4.

4.7 Privacy Element

   The <privacy> 'privacy' element indicates whether third parties may be able to
   hear or view parts of the communication.

   public: Others may be able to see or hear the communications.
   private: Inappropriate individuals are not likely to see or hear the
      communications.

        quiet: The presentity is in a place such as a library,
             restaurant, place-of-worship, or theater that discourages
             noise, conversation and other distractions.

   This indication is not limited to voice communications.  For example,
   a presentity might label her privacy as "quiet" when giving a talk,
   since it would be inappropriate if an instant message popped up on
   the laptop screen that is being projected for the audience.


        The placetype element can be used by logic executing on the
        watcher or by a composer to filter, sort and label tuples.
        For example, a composer may have rules that limit the
        publication of tuples labeled as "quiet" to a select subset
        of popped up on
   the laptop screen that is being projected for the watchers. audience.

   The activity 'placetype' element MAY be qualified with the 'from' and value 'since' and

   the time until which is element is expected to be valid. The relative
   to the publication of the presence information.

6.8 'until'
   attributes as described in Section 4.

4.8 Relationship Element

   The <relationship> element extends <tuple> and designates the type of
   relationship an alternate contact has with the presentity.  This
   element is provided only if the tuple refers to somebody other than
   the presentity.  Relationship values include "family", "associate"
   (e.g., for a colleague), "assistant", "supervisor".  Other free-text
   values and additional IANA-registered values (Section 10) 7) can be used
   as well.

   If a relationship is indicated, the RPID <status> values describe the
   <contact>, not the presentity.

   The <contact> element for tuples labeled with a relationship can
   contain either a communication URI such as "im", "sip"/"sips",
   "h323", "tel" or "mailto", or a presence URI, such as "pres" or
   "sip".

7

4.9 Sphere Element

   The <sphere> element designates the current state and role that the
   presentity plays.  For example, it might describe whether the
   presentity is in a work mode or at home or participating in
   activities related to some other organization such as the IETF or a
   church.  This document does not define names for these spheres except
   for two common ones, "work" and "home".

   Spheres are likely to be used for two purposes:  they allow the
   presentity to easily turn on or off certain rules that depend on what
   groups of people should be made aware of the presentity's status.
   For example, if the presentity is a Boy Scout leader, he might set



Schulzrinne, et al.    Expires September 11, 2004               [Page 8]

Internet-Draft                    RPID                        March 2004


   the sphere to 'scouting' and then have a rule set that allows other
   scout masters in his troup to see his presence status.  As soon as he
   switches his status to 'work' or 'home' or some other sphere, the
   fellow scouts would lose access.

   The <sphere> element can be used with tuples of all values of
   <contact-type>.  For tuples representing multiple physical devices,
   <contact-type> 'service' or 'presentity', these devices can be
   controlled by people in multiple different spheres.  In those cases,
   the <sphere> element enumerates all unique values as a token list.

   The <sphere> element MAY be qualified with the 'since' and 'until'
   attributes as described in Section 4.

9 Security Considerations

   The security considerations in [1] apply, as well as [9]. Compared to
   PIDF, this presence document format reveals additional information
   that can be highly sensitive. Beyond traditional security measures to
   protect confidentiality and integrity, systems should offer a means
   to selectively reveal information to particular watchers and to
   inspect the information that is being published, particularly if it
   is generated automatically from other sources, such as calendars or
   sensors.

   Like any information retrieved by reference, the information provided
   in the <card>, <icon> and <info> elements may refer to data types
   that expose the watcher to security risks.

7. IANA Considerations

   This document calls for IANA to:

   o  register two new XML namespace URNs per [8]; [6];
   o  establish registry for activity categories (Section 6.2), 4.2), place
      types (Section 6.6), 4.6), and relationships (Section 6.8). 4.8).

   Note that this document does not need a new content type.  It
   inherits the content type from [1], [7], namely application/cpim-pidf+xml

10.1 application/pidf+xml.

7.1 URN Sub-Namespace Registration for
    'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status:rpid-status'

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:rpid-status urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status:rpid-status

7.5 Token Registrations

   This document creates new IANA registries for activities, tuple
   types, place types and relationships. RPID tokens:

   contact-type: See Section 4.4
   placetype: See Section 4.6
   privacy: See Section 4.7
   relationship: See Section 4.8

   All are XML tokens.  Registered tokens must be documented at the time
   of registration, as most descriptions are expected to be brief.

   The SIMPLE working group, or, if no longer available,

   Following the policies outline in RFC 2434 [3], these tokens are
   assigned after Expert Review by the SIP SIMPLE working group should be consulted prior to registration.

   The document reflects the discussion on or its
   designated successor.  Each registration must include the SIMPLE mailing list, with
   contributions from many individuals. Markus Isomaki, Hisham
   Khartabil, Jon Peterson and Brian Rosen provided detailed comments
   and suggestions.  The notion name of external references in the <card>,
   <icon>
   token and <info> elements is an evolution of a brief description similar to the BINPIDF proposal by
   Khartabil et al.
