Abstract
This document defines the syntax as well as the semantics of the
information to be included in the phone book for roaming
applications. It comprises the information necessary to select the
most appropriate ISP and to configure the host to get access to the
network of the provider. The specification consists of a small set of
required information elements and a variety of possible extensions.
All data is specified in XML [5] (Extensible Markup Language) syntax
leading to a concise XML DTD (Document Type Declaration) for the
phone book.

1. Introduction
Roaming applications depend on the delivery of information about
provided services and the procedures to get connected to the network
from the roaming consortium to the individual users as well as from
the operators of the network access servers, normally the members of
the roaming consortium, and the roaming consortium.

+------+
The roaming consortium assembles from the individual contributions of
the providers belonging to the consortium a unified version of the
phone book for usage by the customers. Probably different groups of
users get different versions of a phone book adapted to their
particular needs. Even users might generate different subsets
especially suited to particular applications from the information
received from the roaming consortium, e.g., retrieving only entries
for a particular country or extracting all access points providing
wireless connectivity.
Riegel & Zorn Standards Track [Page 3]
RFC 3017 Roaming Access Phone Book XML DTD December 2000
Therefore it is desirable to define a highly portable and well formed
structure of the phone book to enable easy generation and
postprocessing. Goals of this document include:
- Creating a flexible, extensible and robust framework
upon which to build a standard phone book;
- Promoting a standard phone book format, to enhance
interoperability between ISPs and roaming consortia as
well as to enable automatic extraction of configuration
data by a wide variety of devices;
- Defining a compact structure containing the essential
information for the roaming user, to allow for storage
and easy update even on small devices.
It is not intended by this document to create a plethoric solution,
with phone book elements to fit every condition on earth, neither to
define any kind of phone book update or transfer protocol.
2. Rationale for XML Usage
XML is rapidly becoming a standard format for data exchange between
different applications also taking into account the transfer and
access of data over the web. XML is used as syntax for expressing
the structure and content of a roaming phone book to enable
widespread usage and access to many different kind of media (e.g.,
paper, CDROM, www) using a widespread selection of access devices.
Furthermore XML enables:
- Extensibility
- Flexibility
- Integration with directories
Extensibility is important because phone books are living documents;
as such, it is unlikely that all the semantic requirements of
arbitrary Internet service providers (ISPs) would be met by a fixed
scheme, no matter how well thought out. Phone book designers must be
free to create new attributes in a well-understood fashion to meet
changing business needs.
Flexibility is required of the attribute definition syntax for many
of the same reasons that semantic extensibility is necessary. If we
assume that phone book designers may need to define elements of
arbitrary type, the syntax chosen must be able to represent these
data objects cleanly. Using XML for describing the data content of
the phone book fits this bill nicely, since it can be used to
unambiguously describe virtually any data type.
Riegel & Zorn Standards Track [Page 4]
RFC 3017 Roaming Access Phone Book XML DTD December 2000
Integration with directories: although it is unlikely that phone
books will be stored in the directory due to performance
considerations, the creation of a XML DTD describing phone book
content leaves that option open, with relatively little incremental
effort required to implement it.
3. Specification of Requirements
In this document, the key words "MAY", "MUST, "MUST NOT", "optional",
"recommended", "SHOULD", and "SHOULD NOT", are to be interpreted as
described in [1].
4. Value type notations for 'stronger' typing
XML DTDs do not currently have capabilities for 'strong typing' of
the content of elements. The only type definition foreseen in the
base specification is "#PCDATA", 'parsable character data'. This
might be sufficient and is used throughout this document to define
elements containing information mainly aimed for interpretation by
human beings.
To enable a more concise description of the content of particular
elements several value type notations are introduced. This allows
for a more detailed type description of the content of elements in
cases where it seems to be desirable.

5. Container Element Definitions
5.1. PhoneBook
The phoneBook element is the basic container for phone book entries.
It has two attributes, a phone book name and a phone book version
number (applying to the phone book as a whole), and always contains
one or more pop elements. A phoneBook element may also contain
multiple Setup, Support and Provider elements, if they are referenced
to by more than one pop element.

| + - - - - - - - - - - - + |
+-----------------------------------+
5.1.1. phoneBook Attribute "name"
The phoneBook attribute "name" is an arbitrary string assigned as an
identifier for a phone book.
5.1.2. phoneBook Attribute "version"
The phoneBookVersion attribute is an integer representing the version
of the phone book; it is a monotonically increasing counter which
should be incremented each time the phone book is modified. This
element can be used by a server to help decide what (if any) actions
are required to bring a client's phone book up to date. For example,
the client can, at connect time, send an update request to the server
Riegel & Zorn Standards Track [Page 6]
RFC 3017 Roaming Access Phone Book XML DTD December 2000
including in the request the version number of its current phone
book. If the client's phone book version is not the same as the
server's current phone book version, the server can easily take
appropriate action, e.g., reply with a URL pointing to a file
containing the differences between the client and server phone books.
5.2. POP
The pop element contains information elements relevant to individual
network points of presence (POPs). The required information elements
are addrFamily, address, media and entryVersion. The media element
represents the media types supported by the POP, while the
entryVersion element is a monotonically-increasing integer which
should be incremented whenever the object is modified.
The following information elements are currently defined for the pop
element. Additional information elements may be defined by IANA in
future.

8. Security Considerations
The secure distribution and transport of information of a phone book
for roaming applications require a reliable authentication of the
issuer of the information as well as means to preserve the integrity
of the provided information.
No specific elements for security requirements are provided by the
phone book XML DTD itself. It is assumed that security of the
roaming phone book is provided by means outside of the scope of this
specification, such as signing the phone book using pgp.
9. IANA Considerations
This specification provides the possibility to define further
attribute values for all information elements owning enumerated
attribute lists as well as to extend the main structures 'pop',
'setup', 'support' and 'provider' by additional information elements.
Therefore the specification of the roaming phone book can be adopted
to future requirements without changing this document. Extensions
and refinements to this specification can be achieved by registration
of new elements and attributes by IANA.
Extending this specification with additional attributes or elements
must not change the validity of documents based on an older version
of the XML DTD. Therefore all added information elements must be
Riegel & Zorn Standards Track [Page 28]
RFC 3017 Roaming Access Phone Book XML DTD December 2000
optional, prohibiting the mandatory inclusion of newly defined
information elements. Adding new values to enumerated attribute
lists has no backward compatibility constraints because it does not
harm the validity of attributes already defined.
To facilitate the registration of new information elements and
attribute values the DTD of the phone book has been separated in two
parts, the extensible part containing only parameter entity
declarations for ease inclusion of new values, and the fixed part
containing the detailed specification of the content and structure of
the phone book. By referencing the parameter entity declarations in
the fixed part of the specification the whole phone book becomes
extensible.
The part containing the parameter entity declarations has to be
maintained by the IANA. There are two different classes of
declarations in this part requiring different policies for
registering new values.
9.1. Registration of new attribute values
The entities 'addressFamily', 'modemProtocols', 'isdnProtocols',
'atmProtocols', 'frProtocols', 'x25Protocols', 'popProperties' and
'tunnelingProtocols' are describing enumerated attribute value lists.
Because there is no limitation in the name space of these attribute
values and newly defined attribute values can not harm the validity
of existing values, new attribute values can be assigned by
Specification Required [6].
9.2. Registration of new information elements
The entities 'mediaTypes', 'popInformation', 'setupInformation', '
supportInformation' and 'providerInformation' define the information
elements probably included in the media, pop, setup, support and
provider elements. Inserting new values into these lists extends the
phone book by arbitrarily new information elements. Inappropriate
use of the XML content model can destroy the backward compatibility
of the DTD. Therefore the assignment of new information elements
requires the approval of a Designated Expert [6]. In addition to the
insertion of a new value into the list, the detailed definition of
the information element has to be appended to the specification part
maintained by the IANA.
