Introduction + + The Common Profiles for Instant Messaging (CPIM) [CPIM] and Presence + (CPP) [CPP] specifications define a set of operations and parameters + to achieve interoperability between different Instant Messaging and + Presence protocols which meet RFC 2779 [RFC2779]. + + This memo further defines the Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) + as a common presence data format for CPP-compliant presence + protocols, allowing presence information to be transferred across + CPP-compliant protocol boundaries without modification, with + attendant benefits for security and performance. + + + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + The format specified in this memo defines the base presence format + and extensibility required by RFC 2779. It defines a minimal set of + presence status values defined by the IMPP Model document [RFC2778]. + However, a presence application is able to define its own status + values using the extensibility framework provided by this memo. + Defining such extended status values is beyond the scope of this + memo. + + Note also that this memo defines only the format for a presence data + payload and the extensibility framework for it. How the presence + data is transferred within a specific protocol frame would be defined + separately in a protocol specification. + +1.1. Terminology and Conventions + + This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in the IMPP Model + document [RFC2778]. 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", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", + "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be + interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119]. + +2. Design Decisions + + We have adopted the IMPP Model and Requirements documents [RFC2778, + RFC2779] as the starting point of our discussion. The two RFCs + contain a number of statements about presence information, which can + be regarded as a basic set of constraints for the format design. + Also, we took the minimalist approach to the design based on them. + Starting from the minimal model, only the features that are necessary + to solve particular problems have been included. + +2.1. Minimal Model + + This specification is based on the minimal model extracted from the + IMPP Model and Requirements documents. The model consists of the + following items. Each of them is accompanied with the corresponding + RFCs and their section numbers as its grounds, e.g., + (RFC2778:Sec.2.4) refers to Section 2.4 of RFC 2778. + + (a) PRESENCE INFORMATION consists of one or more PRESENCE TUPLES, + where a PRESENCE TUPLE consists of a STATUS, an optional + COMMUNICATION ADDRESS, and optional OTHER PRESENCE MARKUP. Note + that the CONTACT ADDRESS in a COMMUNICATIONS ADDRESS is + understood in this document to refer only to a URI + (RFC2778:Sec.3). + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + (b) STATUS has at least the mutually-exclusive values OPEN and + CLOSED, which have meaning for the acceptance of INSTANT + MESSAGES, and may have meaning for other COMMUNICATION MEANS. + There may be other values of STATUS that do not imply anything + about INSTANT MESSAGE acceptance. These other values of STATUS + may be combined with OPEN and CLOSED or they may be mutually- + exclusive with those values (RFC2778:Sec.3, RFC2779:Sec.4.4.1- + 4.4.3). + + (c) STATUS may consist of single or multiple values.(RFC2778:Sec.2.4) + + (d) There must be a means of extending the common presence format to + represent additional information not included in the common + format. The extension and registration mechanisms must be + defined for presence information schema, including new STATUS + conditions and new forms for OTHER PRESENCE MARKUP + (RFC2779:Sec.3.1.4-3.1.5). + + (e) The common presence format must include a means to uniquely + identify the PRESENTITY whose PRESENCE INFORMATION is reported + (RFC2779:Sec.3.1.2). + + (f) The common presence format must allow the PRESENTITY to secure + presence information sent to a WATCHER. The format must allow + integrity, confidentiality and authentication properties to be + applied to presence information (RFC2779:Sec5.2.1, 5.2.4, 5.3.1, + 5.3.3). + +2.2. Added Features + + In addition to the minimal model described above, the format + specified in this specification has the following features. + + (a) Relative priorities of contact addresses are specifiable in order + to allow the source of PRESENCE INFORMATION to tell the receiver + (WATCHER USER AGENTS) its preference over multiple contact + means. + + (b) The presence format is able to contain the timestamp of the + creation of the PRESENCE INFORMATION. The timestamp in the + presence document lets the receiver know the time of the + creation of the data even if the message containing it is + delayed. It can also be used to detect a replay attack, + independent of the underlying signature mechanism. Note that + this mechanism does not assume any global time synchronization + system for watchers and presentities (see Appendix A of RFC2779, + 8.1.4 A7), but rather assumes that the minimum length of time + that might pass before presence information is considered stale + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + is long enough that minor variations among system clocks will + not lead to misjudgments of the freshness of presence + information. + +2.3. XML Encoding Decision + + The Presence Information Data Format encodes presence information in + XML (eXtensible Markup Language [XML]). Regarding the features of + PRESENCE INFORMATION discussed above, such that it has a hierarchical + structure and it should be fully extensible, XML is considered as the + most desirable framework over other candidates such as vCard [vCard]. + +3. Overview of Presence Information Data Format + + This section describes an overview of the presence data format + defined in this memo. + +3.1. The 'application/pidf+xml' Content Type + + This memo defines a new content type "application/pidf+xml" for an + XML MIME entity that contains presence information. This + specification follows the recommendations and conventions described + in [RFC3023], including the naming convention of the type ('+xml' + suffix) and the usage of the 'charset' parameter. + + Although it is defined as optional, use of the 'charset' parameter is + RECOMMENDED. If the 'charset' parameter is not specified, conforming + XML processors MUST follow the requirements in section 4.3.3 of + [XML]. + +3.2. Presence Information Contents + + This subsection outlines the information in an "application/pidf+xml" + document. A full definition of the PIDF content is in Section 4. + + o PRESENTITY URL: specifies the "pres" URL of the PRESENTITY. + o List of PRESENCE TUPLES + - Identifier: token to identify this tuple within the presence + information. + - STATUS: OPEN/CLOSED and/or extension status values. + - COMMUNICATION ADDRESS: COMMUNICATION MEANS and CONTACT + ADDRESS of this tuple. (optional) + - Relative priority: numerical value specifying the priority + of this COMMUNICATION ADDRESS. (optional) + - Timestamp: timestamp of the change of this tuple.(optional) + - Human readable comment: free text memo about this tuple + (optional) + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + o PRESENTITY human readable comment: free text memo about the + PRESENTITY (optional). + +4. XML-encoded Presence Data Format + + This section defines an XML-encoded presence information data format + (PIDF) for use with CPP compliant systems. A presence payload in + this format is expected to be produced by the PRESENTITY (the source + of the PRESENCE INFORMATION) and transported to the WATCHERS by the + presence servers or gateways without any interpretation or + modification. + +4.1. XML Format Definitions + + A PIDF object is a well formed XML document. + + It MUST have the XML declaration and it SHOULD contain an encoding + declaration in the XML declaration, e.g., "<?xml version='1.0' + encoding='UTF-8'?>". If the charset parameter of the MIME content + type declaration is present and it is different from the encoding + declaration, the charset parameter takes precedence. + + Every application conformant to this specification MUST accept the + UTF-8 character encoding to ensure the minimal interoperability. + +4.1.1. The <presence> element + + PIDF elements are associated with the XML namespace name + 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf', declared using an xmlns attribute, per + [XML-NS]. The namespace may be a default namespace, or may be + associated with some namespace prefix (see section 4.2.2 for + examples). + + The root of an "application/pidf+xml" object is a <presence> element + associated with the presence information namespace. This contains + any number (including 0) of <tuple> elements, followed by any number + (including 0) of <note> elements, followed by any number of OPTIONAL + extension elements from other namespaces. + + The <presence> element MUST have an 'entity' attribute. The value of + the 'entity' attribute is the 'pres' URL of the PRESENTITY publishing + this presence document. + + The <presence> element MUST contain a namespace declaration ('xmlns') + to indicate the namespace on which the presence document is based. + The presence document compliant to this specification MUST have the + namespace 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:'. + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + It MAY contain other namespace declarations for the extensions used + in the presence XML document. + +4.1.2. The <tuple> element + + The <tuple> element carries a PRESENCE TUPLE, consisting of a + mandatory <status> element, followed by any number of OPTIONAL + extension elements (possibly from other namespaces), followed by an + OPTIONAL <contact> element, followed by any number of OPTIONAL <note> + elements, followed by an OPTIONAL <timestamp> element. + + Tuples provide a way of segmenting presence information. Protocols + or applications may choose to segment the presence information + associated with a presentity for any number of reasons - for example, + because components of the full presence information for a presentity + have come from distinct devices or different applications on the same + device, or have been generated at different times. Tuples should be + preferred over other manners of segmenting presence information such + as creating multiple PIDF instances. + + The <tuple> element MUST contain an 'id' attribute which is used to + distinguish this tuple from other tuples in the same PRESENTITY. The + value of an 'id' attribute MUST be unique within 'id' attribute + values of other tuples for the same PRESENTITY. An 'id' value is + used by applications processing the presence document to identify the + corresponding tuple in the previously acquired PRESENCE INFORMATION + of the same PRESENTITY. The value of the 'id' attribute is an + arbitrary string, and has no significance beyond providing a means to + distinguish <tuple> values, as noted above. + + The <contact> element is OPTIONAL because a PRESENTITY might need to + hide its COMMUNICATION ADDRESS or there might be tuples not related + to any COMMUNICATION MEANS. Tuples that contain a <basic> status + element SHOULD contain a <contact> address. Tuples MAY contain + conflicting presence status - one <tuple> might provide a <basic> + <status> of OPEN, and another <tuple> in the same PIDF could contain + a <basic> <status> of CLOSED, even if they both contain the same + <contact> address. + + The manner in which segmented presence information is understood by + the WATCHER USER AGENT is highly dependent on the capabilities of the + WATCHER USER AGENT and the presence application in question. In the + absence of any application-specific or protocol-specific + understanding of the meaning of tuples, WATCHER USER AGENTS MAY obey + the following guidelines. WATCHER USER AGENTS should note which + tuples in the PIDF have changed their state since the last + + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + notification by correlating the 'id' of each <tuple> with those + received in previous notifications and comparing both <status> values + and <timestamp> elements in the tuples, if any are present. + +4.1.3. The <status> element + + The <status> element contains one OPTIONAL <basic> element, followed + by any number of OPTIONAL extension elements (possibly from other + namespaces), under the restriction that at least one child element + appears in the <status> element. These children elements of <status> + contain status values of this tuple. By allowing multiple status + values in a single <tuple> element, different types of status values, + e.g., reachability and location, can be represented by a <tuple>. + See Section 4.3 for an example with multiple status values. + + This memo only defines the <basic> status value element. Other + status values may be included using the standard extensibility + framework (see Section 4.2.4). Applications encountering + unrecognized elements within <status> may ignore them, unless they + carry a mustUnderstand="true" or mustUnderstand="1" attribute (see + section 4.2.3). + + Note that, while the <status> element MUST have at least one status + value element, this status value might not be the <basic> element. + +4.1.4. The <basic> element + + The <basic> element contains one of the following strings: "open" or + "closed". + + The values "open" and "closed" indicate availability to receive + INSTANT MESSAGES if the <tuple> is for an instant messaging address. + They also indicate general availability for other communication + means, but this memo does not specify these in detail. + + open: In the context of INSTANT MESSAGES, this value means that the + associated <contact> element, if any, corresponds to an INSTANT + INBOX that is ready to accept an INSTANT MESSAGE. + + closed: In the context of INSTANT MESSAGES, this value means that + the associated <contact> element, if any, corresponds to an + INSTANT INBOX that is unable to accept an INSTANT MESSAGE. + +4.1.5. The <contact> element + + The <contact> element contains a URL of the contact address. It + optionally has a 'priority' attribute, whose value means a relative + priority of this contact address over the others. The value of the + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 8] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + attribute MUST be a decimal number between 0 and 1 inclusive with at + most 3 digits after the decimal point. Higher values indicate higher + priority. Examples of priority values are 0, 0.021, 0.5, 1.00. If + the 'priority' attribute is omitted, applications MUST assign the + contact address the lowest priority. If the 'priority' value is out + of the range, applications just SHOULD ignore the value and process + it as if the attribute was not present. + + Applications SHOULD handle contacts with a higher priority as they + have precedence over those with lower priorities. How they are + actually treated is beyond this specification. Also, how to handle + contacts with the same priority is up to implementations. + +4.1.6. The <note> element + + The <note> element contains a string value, which is usually used for + a human readable comment. A <note> element MAY appear as a child + element of <presence> or as a child element of the <tuple> element. + In the former case the comment is about the PRESENTITY and in the + latter case the comment is regarding the particular tuple. + + Note that, wherever it appears, a <note> element SHOULD NOT be used, + and interpreted, as a non-interoperable substitute for status of its + parent element. + + The <note> element SHOULD have a special attribute 'xml:lang' to + specify the language used in the contents of this element as defined + in Section 2.12 of [XML]. The value of this attribute is the + language identifier as defined by [RFC3066]. It MAY be omitted when + the language used is implied by the larger context such as the + encoding information of the contents, such as an xml:lang attribute + on an enclosing XML element, or a Content-language header [RFC3282] + on an enclosing MIME wrapper. + +4.1.7. The <timestamp> element + + The <timestamp> element contains a string indicating the date and + time of the status change of this tuple. The value of this element + MUST follow the IMPP datetime format [RFC3339]. Timestamps that + contain 'T' or 'Z' MUST use the capitalized forms. + + As a security measure, the <timestamp> element SHOULD be included in + all tuples unless the exact time of the status change cannot be + determined. For security guidelines for watchers receiving presence + information with timestamps, see the Security Considerations. + + A PRESENTITY MUST NOT generate successive <presence> elements + containing the same timestamp. + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 9] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + +4.2. Presence Information Extensibility + + The presence information extensibility framework is based on XML + namespaces [XML-NS]. + + RFC 2779 requires that PIDF have a means of extending <status> values + beyond <basic>. These extensions MUST NOT modify how <basic> is to + be understood, nor change the structure or semantics of PIDF bodies + themselves. These extensions merely allow protocols and applications + to define richer presence data. + +4.2.1. XML Namespaces Background + + All elements and some attributes are associated with a "namespace", + which is in turn associated with a globally unique URI. Any + developer can introduce their own element names, avoiding conflict by + choosing an appropriate namespace URI. + + Within the presence data, element or attribute names are associated + with a particular namespace by a namespace prefix, which is a leading + part of the name, followed by a colon (":"); e.g., + + <prefix:element-name ...> ... </prefix:element-name> + + Where, 'prefix' is the header name prefix, 'element-name' is a name + which is scoped by the namespace associated with 'prefix'. Note that + the choice of 'prefix' is quite arbitrary; it is the corresponding + URI that defines the naming scope. Two different prefixes associated + with the same namespace URI refer to the same namespace. + + A default namespace can be declared for XML elements without a + namespace prefix. The default namespace does NOT apply to attribute + names, but interpretation of an unprefixed attribute can be + determined by the containing element. + + A namespace is identified by a URI. In this usage, the URI is used + simply as a globally unique identifier, and there is no requirement + that it can be used to retrieve a web resource, or for any other + purpose. Any legal globally unique URI MAY be used to identify a + namespace. (By "globally unique", we mean constructed according to + some set of rules so that it is reasonable to expect that nobody else + will use the same URI for a different purpose.) + + For further details, see the XML namespace specification [XML-NS]. + + + + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 10] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + +4.2.2. XML Namespaces In Presence Information + + A URI used as a namespace identifier in PRESENCE INFORMATION data + MUST be a full absolute-URI, per RFC 2396 [URI]. (Relative URIs and + URI-references containing fragment identifiers MUST NOT be used for + this purpose.) + + The namespace URI for elements defined by this specification is a URN + [URN], using the namespace identifier 'ietf' defined by [URN-NS-IETF] + and extended by [XML-Registry]: + + urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf + + Thus, simple presence data might be thus: + + <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> + <impp:presence xmlns:impp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" + entity="pres:someone@example.com"> + <impp:tuple id="sg89ae"> + <impp:status> + <impp:basic>open</impp:basic> + </impp:status> + <impp:contact priority="0.8">tel:+09012345678</impp:contact> + </impp:tuple> + </impp:presence> + + , using a default XML namespace: + + <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> + <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" + entity="pres:someone@example.com"> + <tuple id="sg89ae"> + <status> + <basic>open</basic> + </status> + <contact priority="0.8">tel:+09012345678</contact> + </tuple> + </presence> + + As is generally the case in XML with namespaces, the xmlns attribute + can be used on any element in the presence information to define + either the default namespace or a namespace associated with a + namespace prefix. + + + + + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 11] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + +4.2.3. Handling Of Unrecognized Element Names + + Except as noted below, a processor of PRESENCE INFORMATION MUST + ignore any XML element with an unrecognized name (i.e., having an + unrecognized namespace URI, or an unrecognized local name within that + namespace). This includes all of the element content, even if it + appears to contain elements with recognized names. + + Extensions to PIDF are informational in nature - they provide + additional information beyond <basic> status. However, in order to + understand a complex extension, nested elements within an extension + element might need to be marked as mandatory. In such cases, the + element name is qualified with a mustUnderstand='true' or + mustUnderstand='1' attribute. See section 4.3.3 for an example. + + NOTE: a mustUnderstand='true' or mustUnderstand='1' attribute + within an element that is being ignored is itself ignored. The + writer of nested mandatory-to-understand information is + responsible for ensuring that any enclosing element is also + labelled with a mustUnderstand='true' or mustUnderstand='1' + attribute, if necessary. + + This specification defines (section 4.1) elements within the + 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf' namespace that MUST be recognized in + CPP presence data. Processors MUST handle these as described, even + if they do not carry a mustUnderstand attribute. The XML Schema + Definition (section 4.4) indicates those elements that MUST be + present in a valid presence information document. + + If an agent receives PRESENCE INFORMATION with a <status> block + containing an unrecognized element with a mustUnderstand='true' (or + '1') attribute, it should treat that entire element and any content + as unrecognized and not attempt to process it. + + In order to ensure that minimal implementations can correctly process + basic PIDF information the mustUnderstand attribute MUST be used only + within optional elements nested in a <status> element. This will + ensure that problems processing an extension are restricted to that + extension and do not affect the processing of the basic PIDF + information defined in this specification. + +4.2.4. Status Value Extensibility + + This memo defines only the <basic> status value with values of "open" + and "closed". Other status values are possible using the standard + namespace-based extensibility rules defined above. + + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 12] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + + For example, a location status value might be included thus: + + <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> + <presence xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf" + xmlns:local="urn:example-com:pidf-status-type" + entity="pres:someone@example.com"> + <tuple id="ub93s3"> + <status> + <basic>open</basic> + <local:location>home</local:location> + </status> + <contact>im:someone@example.com</contact> + </tuple> + </presence> + + Some new status values will 'extend' the value of the <basic> + element. For example, a status value defined for use with instant + messaging may include values such as 'away', 'busy' and 'offline'. + In order that some level of interoperability be maintained with user + agents that don't recognize the new extension, the <basic> status + value must also be included. This means that extensions are not + obligated to define a mapping from each of their values to OPEN or + CLOSED. + +4.2.5. Standardizing Status Extensions + + Although the existing PIDF definition allows arbitrary elements to + appear in the <status> element, it may be sometimes desirable to + standardize extension status elements and their semantics (the + meanings of particular statuses, how they should be interpreted). + The URN 'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status' has been specified as an + umbrella namespace under which extensions to the <status> PIDF + element should be specified (e.g., + urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:status:my-extension).

Security Considerations + + Because presence is very privacy-sensitive information, the protocol + for the presence information MUST have capabilities to protect PIDF + from possible threats, such as eavesdropping, corruption, tamper and + replay attacks. These security mechanisms must be able to be used + end-to-end between presentities and watchers, even if the watcher and + the presentity employ different presence protocols and communicate + through a CPP gateway. Since the 'application/pidf+xml' MIME type is + defined for this PIDF document, staging security for PIDF at the MIME + level (with S/MIME [RFC3851]) seems appropriate. Therefore, PIDF + should follow the normative recommendations for the use of S/MIME + (including minimum ciphersuites) given in the core CPP specification. + + Note that the use of timestamps in PIDF (see section 4.1.7) can + provide some rudimentary protection against replay attacks. If a + watcher receives presence information that is outdated, it SHOULD be + ignored. A watcher can determine that presence information is + outdated in a number of fashions. Most significantly, if the newest + timestamp in presence information is older than the newest timestamp + in the last received presence information, it should be considered + outdated. Applications and protocols also are advised to adopt their + own rules for determining how frequently presence information should + be refreshed. For example, if presence information appears to be + more than one hour old, it could be considered outdated (a + notification generated for this presence information will not take + such a long time to reach a watcher, and if a presentity has not + refreshed its presence state in the last hour, it is probably + offline). + + + + +Sugano, et al. Standards Track [Page 21] + +RFC 3863 Presence Information Data Format August 2004 + + +7. Internationalization Considerations + + All the processors conformant to this specification MUST be able to + generate and accept UTF-8 encoding, this being one of the mandatory + character encodings for XML conforming processors, and also required + by the policies set out in RFC 2277 [RFC2277]. + + Other character encodings MAY be accepted (but CPP compliant + processors are strongly discouraged from emitting anything other than + UTF-8). + +8.
