 Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) Extension for Partial Presence

Status of This Memo

   This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the
   Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for
   improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet
   Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state
   and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this memo is unlimited.

Abstract

   The Presence Information Document Format (PIDF) specifies the
   baseline XML-based format for describing presence information.  One
   of the characteristics of the PIDF is that the document always needs
   to carry all presence information available for the presentity.  In
   some environments where low bandwidth and high latency links can
   exist, it is often beneficial to limit the amount of transported
   information over the network.  This document introduces a new MIME
   type that enables transporting of either only the changed parts or
   the full PIDF-based presence information.

1.  Introduction

   The Presence Information Document Format (PIDF) [RFC3863] specifies
   the baseline XML-based format for describing presence information.
   One of the characteristics of the PIDF is that the document always
   needs to carry all presence information available for the presentity.
   In some environments where low bandwidth and high latency links can
   exist, it is often beneficial to limit the amount of transported
   information over the network.

   This document introduces a new MIME-Type 'application/pidf-diff+xml',
   which enables transporting of either only the changed parts or the
   full PIDF based presence information.  The root element of the
   document distinguishes whether the partial or full PIDF document
   content was transported.

      Note: With this new MIME-Type, applications can easily negotiate
      the support of partial updates of presence by using the Accept
      header.  If PIDF had initially been designed for partial updates,
      a new separate MIME-Type would have been unnecessary.

2.  Conventions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [RFC2119] and
   indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.

   This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in RFC 2778 [RFC2778].
   In addition, the following terms are defined:

   Full presence document:  A presence document that contains all the
      presentity's presence information that is available to a
      particular watcher.

   Partial presence document:  A presence document that represents a
      fragment of the full presence document.  A partial presence
      document can only be understood in the context of the full
      presence document, i.e., a partial presence document modifies a
      cached copy of the full presence document.

3.  Structure of PIDF Diff Documents

   The MIME type 'application/pidf-diff+xml' defines the new content
   type for partial PIDF documents.

   The XML Schema imports the PIDF [RFC3863] schema so that the full
   PIDF document content with the addition of a 'version' attribute can
   be transported.  The root element of the document is then
   <pidf-full>, and the 'version' attribute information can be included
   within it.  Otherwise, the content of <pidf-full> element is exactly
   the same as what would have been if 'application/pidf+xml' content
   type had been used.  Although the XML Schema also allows using
   <presence> as the document root element, it is disallowed from
   applications utilizing this document format.

   When only the changes of the presence document are transported, the
   model described in XML patch operations [RFC5261] is used.  The root
   element of the document is then <pidf-diff>.  The patch operation
   elements: <add>, <remove>, and <replace> allow changing the partial
   content of the cached local copy of the full presence document.  The
   <add> element is used to add new content, the <replace> element
   updates, and the <remove> element removes existing content.

   The optional 'version' attribute within the two possible document
   root elements contains a sequence number which is incremented by one
   between subsequent document updates, i.e., a more recent document
   update has a higher 'version' value than the previous one.  This
   number can be used to ensure consistent updates as the recipient of



Lonnfors, et al.            Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 5262                      Partial PIDF                September 2008


   the document can use the 'version' number to properly order received
   documents and to ensure that updates have not been lost.  The usage
   of this attribute thus allows "state delta" processing described in
   [RFC3265].  Partial notification [RFC5263] uses a similar model.
   This number increments independently regardless of whether the
   <pidf-full> or the <pidf-diff> content is transported.  In other
   words, a single version counter is maintained across <pidf-full> and
   <pidf-diff> documents.

   Implementations using this document format MUST follow guidelines
   specified in the PIDF [RFC3863] and PIDF extension formats, for
   example, DataModel [RFC4479], Rich Presence Information Data (RPID)
   [RFC4480], and Contact Information in PIDF (CIPID) [RFC4482] MUST
   support the usage of the XML schema data type ID
   [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028] of these listed RFCs.  Specifically,
   the XML document MUST be well formed and SHOULD be valid.  This
   specification makes use of XML namespaces for identifying presence
   documents and document fragments.  The namespace URI for elements
   defined by this specification is a URN [RFC2141], using the namespace
   identifier 'ietf' specified in RFC 2648 [RFC2648] and extended by RFC
   3688 [RFC3688].  This URN is:

   urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf-diff

3.1.  'version' Attribute

   Every presence document compliant with this specification MAY contain
   a 'version' attribute within the <pidf-diff> and <pidf-full> element.

3.2.  'entity' Attribute

   Every presence document compliant with this specification MAY contain
   an 'entity' attribute within the <pidf-diff> element.  Its content, a
   presentity URI, MUST then be the same as the 'entity' attribute value
   of the <presence> element described in [RFC3863].  The usage of this
   presentity URI is described in more detail in Section 3.1 of
   [RFC4479].

4.  Usage of 'application/pidf-diff+xml'

   The partial presence document SHOULD only contain those elements or
   attributes that have changed.  However, when there are a lot of
   changes, the full presence document content can then be transported
   instead.

5.  IANA Considerations

   IANA has performed the following actions:

   o  registered a new XML namespace URN per [RFC3688].

   o  registered a new MIME type 'application/pidf-diff+xml' according
      to the procedures of RFC 4288 [RFC4288] and guidelines in RFC 3023
      [RFC3023].

   o  registered a new XML Schema according to the procedures of RFC
      3688 [RFC3688].

5.1.  URN Sub-Namespace Registration for
      'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf-diff'

   This specification registers a new XML namespace, as per the
   guidelines in RFC 3688 [RFC3688].

      URI:
      urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf-diff

      Description:
      This is the XML namespace for XML elements defined by RFC 5262 to
      describe the 'application/pidf-diff+xml' content type for partial
      PIDF.

8.  Interoperability Considerations

   Systems compliant with Common Profile for Presence (CPP) [RFC3859]
   will not be by default able to use this specification.  However, this
   will not cause any interoperability problems because all endpoints
   and gateways must support the default MIME type
   (application/pidf+xml) regardless of if they support this
   specification.  Thus, if a gateway or another end point does not
   understand this specification it will not be used.  In SIMPLE-based
   systems, use of this MIME type is negotiated using SIP content type
   negotiation mechanism as specified in partial notification [RFC5263].

   Other CPP-compliant (other than SIP-based) systems can also support
   this specification if they have a mechanism to indicate support for
   it.  If they do, it is possible to build a gateway that will preserve
   end-to-end integrity with usage of partial PIDF.

9.  Security Considerations

   All security considerations identified for PIDF [RFC3863] apply
   unchanged for this document as presence information may contain
   highly sensitive information.  Furthermore, the protocol SHOULD
   provide authorization policies what presence information can be given
   to which watchers, and when, see [RFC5025].

10.  Internationalization Considerations

   The PIDF [RFC3863] format is represented in XML that performs all
   character processing in terms of the Universal Character Set (UCS).
   Conformant XML processors MUST support both UTF-8 and UTF-16
   encodings of the UCS.  UTF-8 is the RECOMMENDED encoding of this
   partial presence format.

   If the character set of the initial <pidf-full> document has been
   accepted by a receiving application, it MUST continue to accept the
   same character set with the subsequent <pidf-diff> documents.
   However, it MUST NOT need to accept a possible character set change.

11.  Error Handling

   Error conditions MAY be indicated by errors defined in [RFC5261].
   This document doesn't define any additional error elements.  If the
   'version' or 'entity' attributes have incorrect content, it MAY be
   indicated by the <invalid-attribute-value> error element.
