Introduction + + Synchronization of an Open Mobile Alliance Converged Address Book + [OMA-CAB], using Open Mobile Alliance Data Synchronization [OMA-DS], + commonly uses vCard as an exchange format between the DS Server and + the DS Client. In order to properly perform synchronization of an + OMA-CAB, the CAB specification defines some CAB contact fields not + already defined in the vCard base specification. This document + reuses the definitions found in the OMA-CAB specification and + describes them as vCard extensions. The following sections define + the necessary Properties and Parameters. + +1.1. A Brief Introduction to the Converged Address Book + + The Converged Address Book (CAB) Enabler provides consistent + mechanisms to manage contact information both in user-facing + applications and in support of network-facing activities. At the + core of this enabler is a network-based contact repository in which a + user can store contact information. That information can be + retrieved by any CAB-enabled device. The network-based repository is + also able to provide specific contact information to other users and + to keep their copies up to date whenever the information is changed. + + The CAB Enabler provides synchronization of the contact information + available in the user device(s) with the network-based contact + repository. + + + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 2] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + + The CAB Enabler also manages the distribution of a user's own contact + information. In essence, a user fills out a Personal Contact Card, + which includes all the information a user wishes to store about + himself or herself. + + Because systems that are supporting the CAB Enabler are likely + supporting multiple users, the CAB Enabler also defines a search + paradigm that permits other users to query those systems to locate + information about the available users. + + The CAB Enabler supports many different types of information. It + therefore has a data model that is flexible and extensible. It + manages traditional types of contact information (such as name, + address, email, phone number, mobile number) as well as new types of + information (such as websites, blogs, presence subscription + references). + +1.2. Terminology Used in This Document + + Syntax specifications shown here use the augmented Backus-Naur Form + (ABNF) as described in [RFC5234] and are specified as in the base + vCard specification [RFC6350]. + +2. vCard Extensions: Properties + + The following sections define the CAB Properties. + + Note: + Some string-value vCard properties are defined herein for which no + specific list of allowed strings is specified. For those properties, + it is intended that de facto taxonomies might develop. One vCard + can, for example, specify a hobby of "philately", while another uses + "stamp collecting", and a third has "old postage stamps". Usage, not + specification, may lead to a preference over time for a single term. + In general, these are meant to be understood by humans, rather than + to be used for automated categorization that might require standard + terms and registries. + +2.1. Property: EXPERTISE + + Namespace: + + Property name: EXPERTISE + + Purpose: To specify a field of expertise for the object to which the + vCard refers. + + Value type: A single text value. + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 3] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + + Cardinality: * + + Property parameters: LEVEL (possible values: "beginner", "average", + "expert"), INDEX + + Description: This is intended to be a free-form naming of fields of + expertise, meant for human consumption, and no specific + expertise fields are defined. See the note at the + beginning of Section 2. + + Format definition: + + EXPERTISE-param = LEVEL-param / INDEX-param / language-param / + pref-param / altid-param / type-param / + any-param + + EXPERTISE-value = text + + Examples: + + EXPERTISE;LEVEL=beginner;INDEX=2:chinese literature + + EXPERTISE;INDEX=1;LEVEL=expert:chemistry + +2.2. Property: HOBBY + + Namespace: + + Property name: HOBBY + + Purpose: To specify the hobbies of the object to which the vCard + refers. + + Value type: A single text value. + + Cardinality: * + + Property parameters: LEVEL (possible values: "high", "medium", + "low"), INDEX + + Description: This is intended to be a free-form naming of hobbies, + meant for human consumption, and no specific hobbies + are defined. See the note at the beginning of + Section 2. + + + + + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 4] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + + A hobby, as opposed to an interest (see Section 2.3), + is an activity that one actively engages in for + entertainment, intellectual stimulation, creative + expression, or the like. + + * "Art" might be a hobby if one actively sculpts or paints. + + * "Tennis" might be a hobby if one enjoys playing, rather than + just watching, matches. + + Format definition: + + HOBBY-param = LEVEL-param / INDEX-param / language-param / + pref-param / altid-param / type-param / any-param + + HOBBY-value = text + + Examples: + + HOBBY;INDEX=1;LEVEL=high:reading + + HOBBY;INDEX=2;LEVEL=high:sewing + +2.3. Property: INTEREST + + Namespace: + + Property name: INTEREST + + Purpose: To specify the interest(s) of the object to which the vCard + refers. + + Value type: A single text value + + Cardinality: * + + Property parameters: LEVEL (possible values: "high", "medium", + "low"), INDEX + + Description: This is intended to be a free-form naming of interests, + meant for human consumption, and no specific interests + are defined. See the note at the beginning of + Section 2. + + An interest, as opposed to a hobby (see Section 2.2), + is an activity or topic that one finds interesting but + doesn't necessarily actively engage in. + + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 5] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + + * "Art" might be an interest if one likes looking at art but + doesn't create art. + + * "Tennis" might be an interest if one enjoys watching matches + but doesn't play. + + Format definition: + + INTEREST-param = LEVEL-param / INDEX-param / language-param / + pref-param / altid-param / type-param / + any-param + + INTEREST-value = text + + Examples: + + INTEREST;INDEX=1;LEVEL=medium:r&b music + + INTEREST;INDEX=2;LEVEL=high:rock 'n' roll music + +2.4. Property: ORG-DIRECTORY + + Namespace: + + Property name: ORG-DIRECTORY + + Purpose: To specify a directory of an organization to which the + vCard's entity belongs. + + Value type: A single URI value. + + Cardinality: * + + Property parameters: PREF, INDEX + + Description: This is intended to be a URI that can be used to do an + organization-directory lookup. Presumably, the entity + the vCard represents would be found in the directory, + though that isn't required. This might be used to make + it easier to find someone's coworkers, management + chain, and so on, in a company or organizational + directory. + + How the lookup is done depends upon the URI scheme, and + no attempt is made here to specify details of the + lookup mechanism. An HTTP URI might, for example, lead + + + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 6] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + + to a web form that's intended for manual lookup in a + browser; thus, this URI might or might not be usable + for automated lookup or searching. + + Format definition: + + ORG-DIRECTORY-param = pref-param / INDEX-param / language-param + / pid-param / pref-param / altid-param / + type-param / any-param + + ORG-DIRECTORY-value= uri + + Examples: + + ORG-DIRECTORY;INDEX=1:http://directory.mycompany.example.com + + ORG-DIRECTORY;PREF=1:ldap://ldap.tech.example/ + o=Example%20Tech,ou=Engineering + +3. vCard Extensions: Parameters + + The following sections define Parameters used within Properties + definitions. + +3.1. Parameter: INDEX + + Namespace: + + Parameter name: INDEX + + Purpose: Used in a multi-valued property to indicate the position of + this value within the set of values. + + Description: When a property is multi-valued, INDEX can be used to + indicate an ordering or sequence of the values. INDEX + values must be strictly positive. Zero is not allowed. + + Format definition: + + INDEX-param = "INDEX=" INDEX-value + + INDEX-value = integer + + Examples: + + ORG-URI;INDEX=1:http://mycompany.example1.com + + ORG-URI;PREF=1;INDEX=2:http://mycompany.example2.com + + + +Cauchie, et al. Standards Track [Page 7] + +RFC 6715 vCard-OMA-CAB August 2012 + + +3.2. Parameter: LEVEL + + Namespace: + + Parameter name: LEVEL + + Purpose: Used to indicate a level of expertise, hobby, or interest + attained by the object the vCard represents. + + Description: Allowable values: + + * "beginner", "average", "expert" when used with EXPERTISE + + * "high", "medium", "low" when used with HOBBY or INTEREST + + Format definition: + + LEVEL-param = "LEVEL=" LEVEL-value + + LEVEL-value = "beginner" / "average" / "expert" / "high" / + "medium" / "low" + + Examples: + + EXPERTISE;LEVEL=beginner:chinese literature + + HOBBY;LEVEL=high:reading + + INTEREST;LEVEL=medium:r&b music + +4. Security Considerations + + This document presents no security considerations beyond those in + Section 9 of the base vCard specification [RFC6350]. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +Cauchie, et al.
