Introduction In its function of facilitating communication, the usefulness of presence information can be enhanced by providing basic information about a presentity or contact. This document describes a basic set of information elements that allow a watcher to retrieve additional information about a presentity or contact. We describe elements for providing a "business card", references to the homepage and an icon. All can be used either for a presentity or for a tuple (or both). This additional presence information can be used in PIDF [3] documents or together with RPID [4]. 2. Elements 2.1 Card Element The element includes a URI pointing to a business card, e.g., in LDIF or vCard [5] format. 2.2 Homepage Element The element provides a URI pointing to general information about the tuple or presentity, typically a web home page. 2.3 Icon Element The element provides a URI pointing to an image (icon) representing the tuple or presentity. The watcher MAY use this information to represent the tuple or presentity in a graphical user interface. Presentities SHOULD provide images of sizes and aspect ratios that are appropriate for rendering as an icon. Support for JPEG, PNG and GIF formats is RECOMMENDED. 2.4 Map Element The element provides a URI pointing to a map related to the tuple or presentity. The watcher MAY use this information to represent the tuple or presentity in a graphical user interface. 2.5 Sound Element The element provides a URI pointing to a sound related to the tuple or presentity. The watcher MAY use the sound object, such as a MIDI or MP3 file, referenced by the URL to inform the watcher that the presentity has assumed the status OPEN. User interfaces MUST Schulzrinne Expires September 18, 2004 [Page 3] Internet-Draft CIPID March 2004 provide the watcher with the opportunity to choose whether to play such sounds. 3. Example An example, combining RPID and CIPID, is shown in Fig. Figure 1. closed assistant open http://example.com/~secretary http://example.com/~secretary/icon.gif http://example.com/~secretary/card.vcd assistant presentity sip:secretary@example.com My secretary http://example.com/~someone http://example.com/~someone/icon.gif http://example.com/~someone/card.vcd A CIPID Example Figure 1 Schulzrinne Expires September 18, 2004 [Page 4] Internet-Draft CIPID March 2004 4. Schema The schema is shown in Fig. Figure 2. Describes CIPID tuple extensions for PIDF. The CIPID Schema Figure 2 5. IANA Considerations This document calls for IANA to register a new XML namespace URN and schema per [2]. 5.1 URN Sub-Namespace Registration for 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:cipid' URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:cipid Description: This is the XML namespace for XML elements defined by RFCXXXX to describe contact information presence information extensions for the status element in the PIDF presence document format in the application/cpim-pidf+xml content type. Registrant Contact: IETF, SIMPLE working group, simple@ietf.org; Henning Schulzrinne, hgs@cs.columbia.edu Schulzrinne Expires September 18, 2004 [Page 5] Internet-Draft CIPID March 2004 XML: BEGIN CIPID -- Contact Information in Presence Information Data Format

Namespace for contact information presence extension (status)

urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:cipid

See RFCXXXX.

END 5.2 Schema Registration for Schema urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:cipid' URI: please assign Registrant Contact: IESG XML: See Figure 2 6. Security Considerations The security issues are similar to those for RPID [4]. Watchers need to restrict which types of content pointed to by elements they render. Also, accessing these URIs may in turn provide hints that the watcher is currently using the presence application. Thus, a presence application may want to cache these objects for later use.
