+ Specifying Civic Address Extensions in
+ the Presence Information Data Format Location Object (PIDF-LO)
+
+Abstract
+
+ New fields are occasionally added to civic addresses. A backward-
+ compatible mechanism for adding civic address elements to the Geopriv
+ civic address format is described. A formal mechanism for handling
+ unsupported extensions when translating between XML and DHCP civic
+ address forms is defined for entities that need to perform this
+ translation. Initial extensions for some new elements are also
+ defined. The Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) protocol
+ mechanism (defined in RFC 5222) that returns civic address element
+ names used for validation of location information is clarified and is
+ normatively updated to require a qualifying namespace identifier on
+ each civic address element returned as part of the validation
+ process.

+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+1. Introduction
+
+ The Geopriv civic location specifications ([RFC4776], [RFC5139])
+ define an XML and binary representations for civic addresses that
+ allow for the expression of civic addresses. Guidance for the use of
+ these formats for the civic addresses in different countries is
+ included in [RFC5774].
+
+ Subsequent to these specifications being produced, use cases for
+ extending the civic address format with new elements have emerged.
+ [RFC5774] describes a mechanism for mapping long-standing address
+ formats into the civic address elements defined in [RFC4776] and
+ [RFC5139]. However, some of these existing address elements do not
+ readily fit into the civic address elements defined in [RFC4776] and
+ [RFC5139]. In these cases, creating new civic address elements
+ provides a better solution than overloading existing civic address
+ fields, which may cause confusion.
+
+ The XML format for civic addresses [RFC5139] provides a mechanism
+ that allows for the addition of standardized or privately understood
+ elements. A similar facility for private extension is not provided
+ for the DHCP format [RFC4776], though new specifications are able to
+ define new CAtypes (civic address types).
+
+ A recipient of a civic address in either format currently has no
+ option other than to ignore elements that it does not understand.
+ This results in any elements that are unknown to that recipient being
+ discarded if a recipient performs a translation between the two
+ formats. In order for a new extension to be preserved through
+ translation by any recipient, the recipient has to understand the
+ extension and know how to correlate an XML element with a CAtype.
+
+ This document describes how new civic address elements are added.
+ Extensions always start with the definition of XML elements. A
+ mechanism for carrying the extension in the DHCP format is described.
+ A new XML namespace containing a small number of additional civic
+ elements is also defined and can be used as a template to illustrate
+ how other extensions can be defined as required.
+
+ These mechanisms ensure that any translation between formats can be
+ performed consistently and without loss of information. Translation
+ between formats can occur without knowledge of every extension that
+ is present.
+
+ The registry of numeric CAtypes is modified so that the creators of
+ extensions can advertise new namespaces and civic elements to
+ encourage maximum reuse.
+
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+ The additions described in this document are backwardly compatible.
+ Existing implementations may cause extension information to be lost,
+ but the presence of extensions does not affect an implementation that
+ conforms to either [RFC4776] or [RFC5139].
+
+ This document also normatively updates [RFC5222] to clarify that the
+ namespace must be included with the element name in the lists of
+ valid, invalid, and not checked elements in the <locationValidation>
+ part of a Location-to-Service Translation (LoST) response. While the
+ LoST schema does not need to be changed, the example in the document
+ is updated to show the namespaces in the lists.
+
+1.1. Motivating Example
+
+ One instance where translation might be necessary is where a device
+ receives location configuration using DHCP [RFC4776]. Conversion of
+ DHCP information to an XML form is necessary if the device wishes to
+ use the DHCP-provided information in a range of applications,
+ including location-based presence services [RFC4079] and emergency
+ calling [RFC5012].
+
+ +--------+ +--------+ +-----------+
+ | DHCP | DHCP | Device | XML | Recipient | e.g., Presence
+ | Server |--------->| |-------->| | Agent
+ +--------+ +--------+ +-----------+
+
+ Figure 1: Conversion Scenario
+
+ The device that performs the translation between the DHCP and XML
+ formats might not be aware of some of the extensions that are in use.
+ Without knowledge of these extensions and how they are represented in
+ XML, the device is forced to discard them.
+
+ These extensions could be useful, or may be critical, to the ultimate
+ consumers of this information. For instance, an extension element
+ might provide a presence watcher with important information in
+ locating the device, or an extension might be significant in choosing
+ a particular call route.
+
+1.2. Terminology
+
+ 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 [RFC2119].

+
+
+2. Specifying Civic Address Extensions
+
+ The civic schema in [RFC5139] defines an ordered structure of
+ elements that can be combined to describe a civic address. The XML
+ extension point at the end of this sequence is used to extend the
+ address.
+
+ New elements are defined in a new XML namespace [XMLNS]. This is
+ true of address elements with significance within private or
+ localized domains as well as those that are intended for global
+ applicability.
+
+ New elements SHOULD use the basic "caType" schema type defined in
+ [RFC5139]. This type provides an optional "xml:lang" attribute.
+
+ For example, suppose the (fictitious) Central Devon Canals Authority
+ wishes to introduce a new civic element called "bridge". The
+ authority defines an XML namespace that includes a "bridge" element.
+ The namespace needs to be a unique URI, for example
+ "http://devon.canals.example.com/civic".
+
+ A civic address that includes the new "bridge" element is shown in
+ Figure 2.
+
+ <civicAddress xml:lang="en-GB"
+ xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"
+ xmlns:cdc="http://devon.canals.example.com/civic">
+ <country>UK</country>
+ <A1>Devon</A1>
+ <A3>Monkokehampton</A3>
+ <RD>Deckport</RD>
+ <STS>Cross</STS>
+
+ <cdc:bridge>21451338</cdc:bridge>
+
+ </civicAddress>
+
+ Figure 2: Extended Civic Address Example
+
+ An entity that receives this location information might not
+ understand the extension address element. As long as the added
+ element is able to be safely ignored, the remainder of the civic
+ address can be used. The result is that the information is not as
+ useful as it could be, but the added element does not prevent the use
+ of the remainder of the address.
+
+ The address can be passed to other applications, such as a LoST
+ server [RFC5222], without modification. If the application
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+ understands the added element(s), it is able to make use of that
+ information. For example, if this civic address is acquired using
+ HTTP-Enabled Location Delivery (HELD) [RFC5985], it can be included
+ in a LoST request directly.
+
+3. Translating Unsupported Elements
+
+ Unsupported civic address elements can be carried without consequence
+ as long as the format of the address does not change. However,
+ conversion between formats has been shown to be necessary.
+
+ Format conversion requires knowledge of the format of the address
+ elements. An entity performing a conversion between XML and DHCP
+ address formats is forced to discard unrecognized elements. The
+ entity performing the conversion has no way to know the correct
+ element to use in the target format.
+
+ This document defines a single extension element for the DHCP format
+ that makes knowledge of extensions unnecessary during conversion.
+ This extension element relies on the extension mechanisms defined for
+ the XML format. New extensions to the civic address format MUST be
+ defined only for the XML format; these extensions are then conveyed
+ in DHCP using the extension element.
+
+ Further extensions to the DHCP format are prohibited; these
+ extensions cannot be safely conveyed in environments where conversion
+ is possible.
+
+3.1. XML to DHCP Format Translation
+
+ Extensions to the XML format [RFC5139] are defined in a new XML
+ namespace [XMLNS]. The XML namespace received in DHCP is expressed
+ as a URL, however, it should not be dereferenced or treated as a
+ source location for the actual schema and doing so will serve no
+ useful purpose.
+
+ Extensions in the XML format can be added to a DHCP format civic
+ address using an extension CAtype.
+
+3.2. Extension Civic Address Type (CAtype)
+
+ The extension CAtype (CAtype code 40) includes three values that
+ uniquely identify the XML extension and its value: a namespace URI,
+ the local name of the XML element, and the text content of that
+ element. These three values are all included in the value of the
+ CAtype, each separated by a single whitespace character.

+
+ Figure 3: XML Civic Address Extension CAtype
+
+ CAtype (40) identifies the extension CAtype.
+
+ Length is the number of octets used to represent the namespace URI,
+ local name, and value. The length includes the space between the
+ namespace URI and local name and the space between the local name and
+ value fields.
+
+ The content of a CAtype (after the CAtype code and length) is UTF-8
+ encoded Unicode text [RFC3629]. A maximum of 255 octets is allowed.
+ Octets consumed by the namespace URI and local name reduce the space
+ available for values.
+
+ This conversion only works for elements that have textual content and
+ an optional "xml:lang" attribute. Elements with complex content or
+ other attributes -- aside from namespace bindings -- MUST be ignored
+ if they are not understood.
+
+3.3. DHCP to XML Format Translation
+
+ The registration of a new CAtype following the process in [RFC4776]
+ means that a recipient that does not know the equivalent XML is
+ unable to produce a complete XML representation of the DHCP civic
+ address. For this reason, this document ends the registration of new
+ numeric CAtypes. No new registrations of numeric CAtypes can be
+ made.
+
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+ In lieu of making new numerical CAtype assignments, this document
+ creates a new extensionCA type that is defined in a manner that lets
+ new civic elements be described in DHCP form by carrying the
+ namespace and type name of the extension in parameters of the
+ extensionCA type.
+
+ When converting to XML, the namespace prefix used for the extension
+ element is selected by the entity that performs the conversion.
+
+3.4. Conversion Example
+
+ The following example civic address contains two extensions:
+
+ <civicAddress xml:lang="en-US"
+ xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"
+ xmlns:post="http://postsoftheworld.example.com/ns"
+ xmlns:ap="http://example.com/airport/5.0">
+ <country>US</country>
+ <A1>CA</A1>
+
+ <post:lamp>2471</post:lamp>
+ <post:pylon>AQ-374-4(c)</post:pylon>
+
+ <ap:airport>LAX</ap:airport>
+ <ap:terminal>Tom Bradley</ap:terminal>
+ <ap:concourse>G</ap:concourse>
+ <ap:gate>36B</ap:gate>
+ </civicAddress>
+
+ Figure 4: XML Example with Multiple Extensions
+
+ This is converted to a DHCP form as follows:
+
+ country = US
+ CAtype[0] = en-US
+ CAtype[1] = CA
+ CAtype[40] = http://postsoftheworld.example.com/ns lamp 2471
+ CAtype[40] = http://postsoftheworld.example.com/ns pylon AQ-374-4(c)
+ CAtype[40] = http://example.com/airport/5.0 airport LAX
+ CAtype[40] = http://example.com/airport/5.0 terminal Tom Bradley
+ CAtype[40] = http://example.com/airport/5.0 concourse G
+ CAtype[40] = http://example.com/airport/5.0 gate 36B

+
+
+4. CAtypes Registry
+
+ [RFC4776] created the CAtype registry. Among other things, this
+ registry advertised available civic elements. While it has always
+ been possible to use an extension namespace to define civic elements
+ that are not in the CAtype registry, and this document does not
+ change that, the registry is valuable to alert implementors of
+ commonly used civic elements and provides guidance to clients of what
+ elements they should support.
+
+ This document alters the CAtype registry in several ways. It closes
+ the registry to new numeric CAtypes. It deletes the "NENA" column,
+ which is not needed. It adds columns for a namespace and contact,
+ and changes the name of the column currently called "PIDF" to "Local
+ Name". It also adds a column to the registry called "Type". "Type"
+ can have one of two values "A" and "B". Type A elements are intended
+ for wide use with many applications and SHOULD be implemented by all
+ clients unless the client is certain the element will not be
+ encountered. Type B civic elements MAY be implemented by any client.
+
+ Type A civic elements require IETF review, while Type B elements only
+ require an expert review.
+
+5. Civic Extensions
+
+ We use this new extension method to define some additional civic
+ address elements that are needed to correctly encode civic locations
+ in several countries. The definition of these new civic address
+ elements also serves as an example of how to define additional
+ elements using the mechanisms described in this document.
+
+5.1. Pole Number
+
+ In some areas, utility and lamp posts carry a unique identifier,
+ which we call a pole number in this document. In some countries, the
+ label on the lamp post also carries the local emergency service
+ number, such as "110", encouraging callers to use the pole number to
+ identify their location.

+5.2. Milepost
+
+ On some roads, trails, railroad rights of way, and other linear
+ features, a post with a mile or kilometer distance from one end of
+ the feature may be found (a "milepost"). There are other cases of
+ poles or markers with numeric indications that are not the same as a
+ "house number" or street address number.
+
+5.3. Street Type Prefix
+
+ The civic schema defined in [RFC5139] allows the definition of
+ address "123 Colorado Boulevard", but it does not allow for the easy
+ expression of "123 Boulevard Colorado". Adding a street type prefix,
+ allows a street named in this manner to be more easily represented.
+
+5.4. House Number Prefix
+
+ The civic schema defined in [RFC5139] provides a house number suffix
+ element, allowing one to express an address like "123A Main Street",
+ but it does not contain a corresponding house number prefix. The
+ house number prefix element allows the expression of address such as
+ "Z123 Main Street".

+
+6. Using Local Civic Extension with the LoST Protocol
+
+ One critical use of civic location information is in next generation
+ emergency services applications, in particular, call routing
+ applications. In such cases, location information is provided to a
+ location-based routing service using the LoST protocol [RFC5222].
+ LoST is used to provide call routing information, but it is also used
+ to validate location information to ensure that it can route to an
+ emergency center when required.
+
+ LoST is an XML-based protocol, and so the namespace extension
+ mechanisms described in this document do not impact LoST. When LoST
+ is used for validation, a <locationValidation> element is returned
+ containing a list of valid, a list of invalid, and a list of
+ unchecked civic elements. Figure 9 is an extract of the validation
+ response in Figure 6 from [RFC5222].
+
+ <locationValidation>
+ <valid>country A1 A3 A6</valid>
+ <invalid>PC</invalid>
+ <unchecked>HNO</unchecked>

+ Figure 9: Location Validation Example from LoST (RFC5222)
+
+ The RelaxNG schema in [RFC5222] requires the elements in each of
+ these lists to be namespace qualified, which makes the example in
+ Figure 6 of [RFC5222] erroneous. This issue is especially
+ significant when local-civic extensions are used as the domain to
+ which the extensions are attributed may impact their interpretation
+ by the server or client. To ensure that local-civic extensions do
+ not cause issues with the LoST server and client implementations, all
+

+ elements listed in a <valid>, <invalid>, or <unchecked> element MUST
+ be qualified with a namespace. To illustrate this, the extract above
+ from Figure 6 in [RFC5222] becomes Figure 10.

+7. Security Considerations
+
+ This document defines a formal way to extend the existing Geopriv
+ civic address schema. While no security threats are directly
+ introduced by this document, creators of new civic address extensions
+ should refer to Sections 4.3.1 and 5.1 of [RFC3694] to understand the
+ environments in which these new elements will be used. New elements
+ should only be registered if the person or organization performing
+ the registration understands any associated risks.
+
+ Security threats applicable to the civic address formats are
+ described in [RFC4776] DHCP and [RFC5139] XML.
+
+8. IANA Considerations
+
+ This document alters the "CAtypes" registry in the Civic Address
+ Types Registry established by [RFC4776].
+
+8.1. CAtype Registration for Extensions
+
+ IANA has allocated a CAtype code of 40 for the extension CAtype.
+ Registrations using this code will be made below, in Section 8.4.
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 13]
+
+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+8.2. Changes to the CAtype Registry
+
+ IANA has made the following changes to the CAtype registry:
+
+ o No registrations of new CAtype numbers in the Civic Address Types
+ Registry are permitted, except by IESG Approval [RFC5226] under
+ unusual circumstances.
+
+ o The following note has been placed in the header of the CAtypes
+ registry, above the table:
+
+ Note: As specified in RFC 6848, new registrations are only
+ accepted for CAtype 40, using the template specified in
+ Section 8.3.
+
+ o The registration procedures are changed: IETF Review (if Type=A),
+ Expert Review (if Type=B). The designated expert is unchanged.
+
+ o The reference for the table is changed: [RFC4776], RFC 6848
+
+ o The column called "NENA" is removed.
+
+ o The column called "PIDF" is renamed to "Local Name".
+
+ o New columns are added named "Namespace URI", "Contact", "Schema"
+ and "Type". All existing entries will have the following values
+ for those new columns:
+
+ Namespace URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr
+
+ Contact: The IESG (iesg@ietf.org); the GEOPRIV working group
+ (geopriv@ietf.org)
+
+ Schema: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr
+
+ Type: A
+
+8.3. Registration Template
+
+ New registrations in the Civic Address Types Registry require the
+ following information:
+
+ CAtype: The assigned numeric CAtype. All new registrations will use
+ the value 40.
+
+ Namespace URI: A unique identifier for the XML namespace used for
+ the extension element.
+
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 14]
+
+RFC 6848 Civic Extensions January 2013
+
+
+ Local Name: The local name of an XML element that carries the civic
+ address element.
+
+ Description: A brief description of the semantics of the civic
+ address element.
+
+ Example (optional): One or more simple examples of the element.
+
+ Contact: Contact details for the person providing the extension.
+
+ Specification (optional): A reference to a specification for the
+ civic address element.
+
+ Schema (optional): A reference to a formal schema (XML schema,
+ RelaxNG, or other form) that defines the extension.
+
+ Type: "A" or "B".
+ If Type is "A", all clients SHOULD implement this element. If
+ Type is "B", clients MAY implement this element.
+
+8.4. Registration of the CAtypes Defined in this Document
+
+ This section registers the following four new CAtypes in the Civic
+ Address Types Registry.
+
+ Post Number (see Section 5.1):
+ CAtype: 40
+ Namespace URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Local Name: PN
+ Description: Post number that is attributed to a lamp post or
+ utility pole.
+ Contact: The IESG (iesg@ietf.org); the GEOPRIV working group
+ (geopriv@ietf.org)
+ Specification: RFC 6848, Section 5
+ Schema: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Type: A
+
+ Milepost (see Section 5.2):
+ CAtype: 40
+ Namespace URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Local Name: MP
+ Description: Milepost: a marker indicating distance to or from a
+ place (often a town).
+ Contact: The IESG (iesg@ietf.org); the GEOPRIV working group
+ (geopriv@ietf.org)
+ Specification: RFC 6848, Section 5
+ Schema: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Type: A
+
+
+
+Winterbottom, et al. Standards Track [Page 15]

+
+
+ Street Type Prefix (see Section 5.3):
+ CAtype: 40
+ Namespace URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Local Name: STP
+ Description: Street Type Prefix.
+ Contact: The IESG (iesg@ietf.org); the GEOPRIV working group
+ (geopriv@ietf.org)
+ Specification: RFC 6848, Section 5
+ Schema: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Type: A
+
+ House Number Prefix (see Section 5.4):
+ CAtype: 40
+ Namespace URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Local Name: HNP
+ Description: House Number Prefix.
+ Contact: The IESG (iesg@ietf.org); the GEOPRIV working group
+ (geopriv@ietf.org)
+ Specification: RFC 6848, Section 5
+ Schema: urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext
+ Type: A
+
+8.5. Registration Policy and Expert Guidance
+
+ The "CAtypes" registry is altered to operate on a registration policy
+ of "Expert Review", and optionally "Specification Required" [RFC5226]
+ if the element being registered has a Type value of "B".
+
+ The registration rules for "Specification Required" are followed only
+ if a registration includes a reference to a specification.
+ Registrations can be made without a specification reference.
+
+ If the element being registered has a Type value of "A", then the
+ registration policy is "IETF Review" [RFC5226].
+
+ All registrations are reviewed to identify potential duplication
+ between registered elements. Duplicated semantics are not prohibited
+ in the registry, though it is preferred if existing elements are
+ used. The expert review is advised to recommend the use of existing
+ elements following the guidance in [RFC5774]. Any registration that
+ is a duplicate or could be considered a close match for the semantics
+ of an existing element SHOULD include a discussion of the reasons
+ that the existing element was not reused.
+
+ [RFC6280] provides a comprehensive framework concerning the privacy
+ of location information as pertaining to its use in Internet
+ applications. The expert reviewer is asked to keep the spirit of
+ this document in mind when reviewing new CAtype registrations.
