Introduction The currently existing iCalendar standard [RFC5545] lacks useful methods for referencing additional, external information relating to calendar components. This document defines a number of properties referencing external information that can provide additional information about an iCalendar component. The intent is that such information can be automatically discovered and used by clients. Formats such as VCARD are likely to be most useful. In addition a new property is defined to support HTML descriptions. 1.1. Conventions Used in This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. 2. Typed References The properties defined here can all reference external meta-data which may be used by applications to provide enhanced value to users. By providing type information as parameters, clients and servers are able to discover interesting references and make use of them, perhaps for indexing or the presentation of additional related information for the user. These properties are designed to handle common use cases in event publication. It is generally important to provide information about the organizers of such events. Sponsors wish to be referenced in a prominent manner. In social calendaring it is often important to identify the active participants in the event, for example a school sports team, and the inactive participants, for example the parents. The [RFC5545] LOCATION property provides only an unstructured single text value for specifying the location where an event (or "TODO" item) will occur. This is inadequate for use cases where structured location information (e.g. address, region, country, postal code) is required or preferred, and limits widespread adoption of iCalendar in those settings. Using STRUCTURED-LOCATION, information about a number of interesting locations can be communicated, for example, parking, restaurants and the venue. Servers and clients can retrieve the objects when storing Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 the event and use them to index by geographic location. When a calendar client receives a calendar component it can search the set of supplied properties looking for those of particular interest. The TYPE and FMTTYPE parameters, if supplied, can be used to help the selection. Having located such a property, e.g. STRUCTURED-LOCATION with TYPE=PARKING, the client can use http GET on the supplied URL perhaps with an ACCEPT header set to specify the desired format. The targeted server SHOULD respond with a 406 if the resource is not available in the desired format(s). 2.1. Use Cases The main motivation for these properties has been event publication but there are opportunities for use elsewhere. The following use cases will describe some possible scenarios. 2.1.1. Piano Concert Performance In putting together a concert there are many participants: piano tuner, performer, stage hands etc. In addition there are sponsors and various contacts to be provided. There will also be a number of related locations. A number of events can be created, all of which relate to the performance in different ways. There may be an iTip meeting request for the piano tuner who will arrive before the performance. Other members of staff may also receive meeting requests. An event can also be created for publication which will have a PARTICIPANT reference to the pianist providing vcard information about the performer. This event would also hold information about parking, local subway stations and the venue itself. In addition, there will be sponsorship information for sponsors of the event and perhaps paid sponsorship properties essentially advertising local establishments. 2.1.2. Itineraries These properties also provide opportunities for the travel industry. When booking a flight the SPONSOR property can be used to provide references to businesses at the airports and to car hire businesses at the destination. The embedded location information can guide the traveller at the airport or to their final destination. The contact information can Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 provide detailed information about the booking agent, the airlines and car hire companies and the hotel. 3. Relating Component Properties Within a single component we sometimes need to specify which properties are related to each other and their state. For example, by relating a STYLED-DESCRIPTION property to the DESCRIPTION property and saving an indication of state, clients can know if one of them has changed and notify the user. This specification defines two new property parameters to enable this relating of properties, the ID and the HASH. The ID parameter provides a small integer identifier, unique for each property on which it is specified. The HASH parameter has a structured value with parts: id-value: The id of the property to which the current property is related hash-value: The base-64 encoded hashed value of the property to which the current property is related hash-method: Method used to create that hash. In the example below a STYLED-DESCRIPTION property is related to the DESCRIPTION property which has an ID value of 2. If the DESCRIPTION property value is changed then the hash-value stored with the STYLED- DESCRIPTION will no longer match. DESCRIPTION;ID=2:Some Text STYLED-DESCRIPTION;HASH="2,zlWCFIxvDBKCM1uH317Uvkt 4E5k=,SHA-1":

Some Text

4. New Property Parameters 4.1. Hash Parameter name: HASH Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 Purpose: To specify the identifier value and hash value and method of another property. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: hashparam = "HASH" "=" / DQUOTE idval "," hashval "," hashname DQUOTE ; A structured value with the following components: idval = integer ; Value of an ID parameter hashval = *QSAFE-CHAR ; Base64 encoded hash of the value of the property referenced by ; the idval segment hashname = *QSAFE-CHAR ; Name of the hash function used to calculate the hash value Description: This parameter can be specified on properties that are variants of another property and is used to detect changes in that property to enable the values of all variants to be kept synchronized. The text value should be an identifier value which SHOULD be a value specified on another propety within the component, a hash value (encoded as a base-64 string), followed by a token describing the algorithm used to calculate the hash value. Algorithm names from the IANA Hash Function Textual Names registry [] MUST be used. Each element of the value is separated by a single ",", 4.2. Id Parameter name: ID Purpose: To uniquely identify a property. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: idparam = "ID" "=" integer Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 6] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 Description: This parameter can be specified on any property. It is used to uniquely identify the property so it can be related to other properties within the same component that specify a "HASH" parameter id-value element matches the "ID" value. Properties within the same component MUST NOT have an "ID" parameter with the same value. 4.3. Loctype Parameter name: LOCTYPE Purpose: To specify the type of location. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: loctypeparam = "LOCTYPE" "=" param-value Description: This parameter MAY be specified on STRUCTURED-LOCATION and provides a way to differentiate multiple properties. For example, it allows event producers to provide location information for the venue and the parking. Values for this parameter are taken from the values defined in [RFC5545]. New location types SHOULD be registered in the manner laid down in that specification 4.4. Parttype Parameter name: PARTTYPE Purpose: To specify the type of participant. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: parttypeparam = "PARTTYPE" "=" text Description: This parameter MAY be specified on the PARTICIPANT property, and defines the type of participation. Allowable values are defined in Section 6. Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 4.5. Restype Parameter name: RESTYPE Purpose: To specify the type of resource. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: restypeparam = "RESTYPE" "=" param-value Description: This parameter MAY be specified on STRUCTURED-RESOURCE and provides a way to differentiate multiple properties. Values for this parameter are taken from the values defined in [todo]. New resource types SHOULD be registered in the manner laid down in that specification 4.6. Order Parameter name: ORDER Purpose: To define ordering for the associated property. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: orderparam = "ORDER" "=" (1*3DIGIT / "100") ; An integer between 1 and 100. Description: The ORDER parameter is OPTIONAL and is used to indicate the relative ordering of the corresponding instance of a property. Its value MUST be an integer between 1 and 100 that quantifies the order. Lower values correspond to a higher level of ordering, with 1 being the highest. When the parameter is absent, the default MUST be to interpret the property instance as being at the lowest level of ordering. Note that the value of this parameter is to be interpreted only in relation to values assigned to other correcsponding instances of the same property in the same entity. A given value, or the absence of a value, MUST NOT be interpreted on its own. Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 8] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 This parameter MAY be applied to any property that allows multiple instances. 4.7. Title Parameter name: TITLE Purpose: To provide a human readable title. Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following notation: titleparam = "TITLE" "=" DQUOTE text DQUOTE Description: This parameter MAY be specified on all properties defined in this specification, and provides a human readable label, perhaps for icons or links.. 5. New Properties 5.1. Participant Property name: PARTICIPANT Purpose: This property provides a typed reference to external information about participants in an event or optionally a plain text typed value. Value type: The default value type for this property is URI. The value type can also be set to TEXT to indicate plain text content. Property Parameters: Non-standard, title, parttype, order or format type parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property MAY be specified in any iCalendar component. Description: When used in a component the value of this property points to information about an event participant. This is NOT an attendee in a scheduling sense and the ATTENDEE property may in fact be specified in addition. Participants in events can be individuals or organizations, for example a soccer team, the spectators, or the musicians. Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 9] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 Format Definition: This property is defined by the following notation: participant = "PARTICIPANT" partparam ( ";" "VALUE" "=" "URI" ":" uri) / ( ";" "VALUE" "=" "TEXT" ":" text ) CRLF partparam = *( ; the following are OPTIONAL ; but MUST NOT occur more than once (";" fmttypeparam) / (";" titleparam) / (";" orderparam) / (";" parttypeparam) / ; the following is OPTIONAL ; and MAY occur more than once (";" other-param) ) Note: When the ORDER parameter is supplied it defines the ordering of PARTICIPANT properties with the same value for the TYPE parameter. Example: The following is an example of this property. It points to a VCARD providing information on an event participant. PARTICIPANT;PARTTYPE=PRINCIPAL_PERFORMER: http://dir.example.com/vcard/aviolinist.vcf Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 10] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 Example: The following is an example referring to a VCARD providing information on the primary contact. PARTICIPANT;FMTTYPE=text/vcard; PARTTYPE=PRIMARY-CONTACT;TITLE=A contact: http://dir.example.com/vcard/contacts/contact1.vcf Example: The following is an example of the property used to link to VCARD information on the event planner. PARTICIPANT;FMTTYPE=text/vcard; PARTTYPE=PLANNER-CONTACT;TITLE=ClownsIsUs: http://dir.example.com/vcard/clowns-is-us.vcf 5.2. Styled-Description Property name: STYLED-DESCRIPTION Purpose: This property provides a more complete description of the calendar component than that provided by the "SUMMARY" property. Value type: There is no default value type for this property. The value type can be set to URI or TEXT. Other text-based value types can be used when defined in the future. Clients MUST ignore any properties with value types they do not understand. Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, hash, id, alternate text representation, and language property parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: The property can be specified multiple times in the "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", or "VALARM" calendar components. Description: This property is used in the "VEVENT" and "VTODO" to capture lengthy textual descriptions associated with the activity. This property is used in the "VJOURNAL" calendar component to capture one or more textual journal entries. This property is used in the "VALARM" calendar component to capture the display text for a DISPLAY category of alarm, and to capture the body text for an EMAIL category of alarm. Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 11] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 VALUE=TEXT is used to provide html variants of the plain-text DESCRIPTION property. VALUE=URI is used to provide a link to html content which is expected to be displayed inline as part of the event. The "HASH" parameter value is calculated from the value of any "DESCRIPTION" property present in the same component. If no "DESCRIPTION" is present, then the "HASH" parameter MUST NOT be present. The intent of this property is limited to providing a styled version of the DESCRIPTION property. The URL property should be used to link to websites or other related information. Format Definition: This property is defined by the following notation: styleddescription = "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" styleddescparam ":" text CRLF styleddescparam = *( ; ; The following are OPTIONAL, ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. ; (";" altrepparam) / (";" languageparam) / (";" hashparam) / (";" idparam) / ; ; The following is OPTIONAL, ; and MAY occur more than once. ; (";" valueparam) ; The value of this parameter MUST match the type of ; data supplied in the value of the property Example: The following is an example of this property. It points to a venue. STRUCTURED-LOCATION;TITLE="The venue": http://dir.example.com/venues/big-hall.vcf Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 12] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 5.3. Structured-Location Property name: STRUCTURED-LOCATION Purpose: This property provides a typed reference to external information about the location of an event or optionally a plain text typed value. Value type: There is no default value type for this property. The value type can be set to URI or TEXT. Other text-based value types Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, title, loctype or format type parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property MAY be specified zero or more times in any iCalendar component. Description: When used in a component the value of this property provides information about the event venue or of related services such as parking, dining, stations etc.. Format Definition: Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 13] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 This property is defined by the following notation: strucloc = "STRUCTURED-LOCATION" struclocparam ( ";" "VALUE" "=" "URI" ":" uri) / ( ( ";" "VALUE" "=" "TEXT" ":" text ) CRLF struclocparam = *( ; the following are OPTIONAL ; but MUST NOT occur more than once (";" fmttypeparam) / (";" titleparam) / (";" loctypeparam) / ; the following is OPTIONAL ; and MAY occur more than once (";" other-param) ) Example: The following is an example of this property. It points to a venue. STRUCTURED-LOCATION;TITLE="The venue": http://dir.example.com/venues/big-hall.vcf 5.4. Structured-Resource Property name: STRUCTURED-RESOURCE Purpose: This property provides a typed reference to external information about a resource or optionally a plain text typed value. Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 14] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 Value type: The default value type for this property is URI. The value type can also be set to TEXT to indicate plain text content. Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, title, restype or format type parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property MAY be specified zero or more times in any iCalendar component. Description: When used in a component the value of this property provides information about resources used for the event. Format Definition: This property is defined by the following notation: strucres = "STRUCTURED-LOCATION" strucresparam (":" uri) / ( ";" "VALUE" "=" "TEXT" ":" text ) CRLF strucresparam = *( ; the following are OPTIONAL ; but MUST NOT occur more than once (";" fmttypeparam) / (";" titleparam) / (";" restypeparam) / ; the following is OPTIONAL ; and MAY occur more than once (";" other-param) ) Example: The following is an example of this property. It refers to a projector. STRUCTURED-RESOURCE;restype="projector": http://dir.example.com/projectors/3d.vcf Douglass Expires May 20, 2013 [Page 15] Internet-Draft Event Publishing Extensions to Icalendar November 2012 6. Participant Types This section describes types of participation and provide registered values for the PARTICPANT property TYPE parameter. ACTIVE: A participant taking an active role - for example a team member. INACTIVE: A particpant taking an inactive part - for example an audience member. SPONSOR: A sponsor of the event. The ORDER parameter may be used with this participant type to define the relative order of multiple sponsors. CONTACT: Contact information for the event. The ORDER parameter may be used with this participant type to define the relative order of multiple contacts. BOOKING-CONTACT: Contact information for reservations or payment EMERGENCY-CONTACT: Contact in case of emergency PUBLICITY-CONTACT: Contact for publicity PLANNER-CONTACT: Contact for the event planner or organizer PERFORMER: A performer - for example the soloist or the accompianist.
