Normative References + Acknowledgements + Author's Address + +1. Introduction + + The currently existing iCalendar standard [RFC5545] lacks useful + methods for referencing additional, external information relating to + calendar components. Additionally, there is no standard way to + provide rich-text descriptions or metadata associated with the event. + + Current practice is to embed this information as links in the + description or to add nonstandard properties, as defined in + Section 3.8.8.2 of [RFC5545]. + + This document updates [RFC5545] to define a number of properties and + components referencing such external information that can provide + additional information about an iCalendar component. The intent is + to allow the interchange of such information between applications or + systems (e.g., between clients, between client and server, and + between servers). Formats, such as vCard [RFC6350], are likely to be + most useful to the receivers of such events as they may be used in + other applications -- such as address books. + +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 + BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all + capitals, as shown here. + + The notation used in this memo is the ABNF notation of [RFC5234] as + used by iCalendar [RFC5545]. Any syntax elements shown below that + are not explicitly defined in this specification come from iCalendar + [RFC5545]. + +1.2. Terms Used in This Document + + Event: When the word 'event' (perhaps with a capitalized 'E') is + used, we are referring to gatherings, formal or informal (for + example, a sports event, a party, or a concert). + + Social Calendaring: Historically, calendar data and scheduling has + been heavily biased towards meetings in a corporate environment. + Some of the features defined in this document are to support a + more informal, i.e., social, model. For example, we may want to + record who is participating in a public event. + +2. Components and Properties + + Previous extensions to the calendaring standards have been largely + restricted to the addition of properties or parameters. This is + partly because iCalendar libraries had trouble handling components + nested deeper than those defined in [RFC5545]. + + In a break with this 'convention', this specification defines a + number of components rather than properties. This is a better match + for the way [W3C.REC-xml-20081126] and JSON [RFC8259] handle such + structures and allows richer definitions. + + It also allows for the addition of extra properties inside the + components and resolves some of the problems of trying to add + detailed information as a parameter. + +3. Typed References + + The properties and components defined here can all reference external + metadata, which may be used by applications to provide further + information to users. By providing type information, clients and + servers are able to discover interesting references and make use of + them, perhaps for indexing or presenting additional, related + information for the user. + + As always, clients should exercise caution in following references to + external data. + + The "LOCATION" property [RFC5545] provides only an unstructured + single text value for specifying the location where an event (or + task) will occur. This is inadequate for use cases where structured + location information (e.g., address, region, country, or postal code) + is required or preferred and limits widespread adoption of iCalendar + in those settings. + + Using the "VLOCATION" component, rich information about multiple + locations can be communicated in a "STRUCTURED-DATA" property; + examples include address, region, country, postal code, parking + availability, nearby restaurants, and the venue, among others. + Servers and clients can retrieve the objects when storing the event + and use them to index by geographic location. + + When a calendar client receives a calendar component, it can search + the set of locations looking for those of particular interest. The + "LOCATION-TYPE" property and "FMTTYPE" parameter applied to the + "STRUCTURED-DATA" property, if supplied, can be used to help the + selection. + + The "PARTICIPANT" component is 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 (e.g,, a school sports team) and + the inactive participants (e.g., the parents) in the event. + + The "PARTICIPANT" component can be used to provide useful extra data + about an attendee. For example, a location inside the PARTICIPANT + gives the actual location of a remote attendee. (But see the note + about privacy.) + + Alternatively, the "PARTICIPANT" component can be used to provide a + reference -- perhaps the address for mailing lists. + +3.1. Use Cases + + The main motivation for these changes has been event publication, but + there are opportunities for use elsewhere. The following use cases + will describe some possible scenarios. + +3.1.1. 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 iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability + Protocol (iTIP) [RFC5546] 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" component for the pianist providing a reference to + vCard information ([RFC6350]) about the performer. This event would + also hold information about parking, local subway stations, and the + venue itself. In addition, there may be sponsorship information for + sponsors of the event and perhaps paid sponsorship properties, + essentially advertising local establishments. + +3.1.2. Itineraries + + These additions also provide opportunities for the travel industry. + When booking a flight, the "PARTICIPANT" component can be used to + provide references to businesses at the airports and to rental car + businesses at the destination. + + The embedded location information can guide the traveler around the + airport itself or to their final destination. The contact + information can provide detailed information about the booking agent, + airlines, car hire companies, and hotel. + +3.1.2.1. Reserving Facilities + + For a meeting, the size of a room and the equipment needed depends, + to some extent, on the number of attendees actually in the room. + + A meeting may have many attendees, none of which are co-located. The + current "ATTENDEE" property does not allow for the addition of such + metadata. The "PARTICIPANT" component allows attendees to specify + their location. + +4. Modifications to Calendar Components + + The following changes to the syntax defined in iCalendar [RFC5545] + are made here. New elements are defined in subsequent sections. + + ; Addition of PARTICIPANT, VLOCATION, and VRESOURCE + ; as valid components + eventc = "BEGIN" ":" "VEVENT" CRLF + eventprop *alarmc *participantc *locationc *resourcec + "END" ":" "VEVENT" CRLF + + ; Addition of properties STYLED-DESCRIPTION and STRUCTURED-DATA + eventprop =/ *styleddescription + *sdataprop + + ; Addition of PARTICIPANT, VLOCATION, and VRESOURCE + ; as valid components + todoc = "BEGIN" ":" "VTODO" CRLF + todoprop *alarmc *participantc *locationc *resourcec + "END" ":" "VTODO" CRLF + + ; Addition of properties STYLED-DESCRIPTION and STRUCTURED-DATA + todoprop =/ *styleddescription + *sdataprop + + ; Addition of PARTICIPANT, VLOCATION, and VRESOURCE + ; as valid components + journalc = "BEGIN" ":" "VJOURNAL" CRLF + jourprop *participantc *locationc *resourcec + "END" ":" "VJOURNAL" CRLF + + ; Addition of properties STYLED-DESCRIPTION and STRUCTURED-DATA + jourprop =/ *styleddescription + *sdataprop + + ; Addition of PARTICIPANT, VLOCATION, and VRESOURCE + ; as valid components + freebusyc = "BEGIN" ":" "VFREEBUSY" CRLF + fbprop *participantc *locationc *resourcec + "END" ":" "VFREEBUSY" CRLF + + ; Addition of property STYLED-DESCRIPTION + fbprop =/ *styleddescription + +5. New Property Parameters + +5.1. Order + + Parameter name: ORDER + + Purpose: This parameter defines ordering for the associated + property. + + Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following + notation: + + orderparam = "ORDER" "=" integer + ; Must be greater than or equal to 1 + + 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 greater than or equal to 1 + that specifies the order, with 1 being the first in the ordering. + + When the parameter is absent, the default MUST be to interpret the + property instance as being ordered last, that is, the property + will appear after any other instances of the same property with + any value of ORDER. + + When any "ORDER" parameters have the same value, all the + associated properties appear as a group within which there is no + defined order. + + Note that the value of this parameter is to be interpreted only in + relation to values assigned to other corresponding instances of + the same property in the same entity. + + This parameter MUST NOT be applied to a property that does not + allow multiple instances. + + Example uses: The ORDER may be applied to the "PARTICIPANT-TYPE" + property to indicate the relative importance of the participant, + for example, as a sponsor or a performer. For example, ORDER=1 + could define the principal performer or soloist. + +5.2. Schema + + Parameter Name: SCHEMA + + Purpose: This parameter specifies the schema used for the content of + a "STRUCTURED-DATA" property value. + + Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following + notation: + + schemaparam = "SCHEMA" "=" DQUOTE uri DQUOTE + + Description: This property parameter SHOULD be specified on + "STRUCTURED-DATA" properties. When present, it provides + identifying information about the nature of the content of the + corresponding "STRUCTURED-DATA" property value.

Derived + + Parameter Name: DERIVED + + Purpose: This parameter specifies that the value of the associated + property is derived from some other property value or values. + + Format Definition: This parameter is defined by the following + notation: + + derivedparam = "DERIVED" "=" ("TRUE" / "FALSE") + ; Default is FALSE + + Description: This property parameter MAY be specified on any + property when the value is derived from some other property or + properties. When present with a value of TRUE, clients MUST NOT + update the property. + + As an example, if a "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" property is present with + FMTTYPE="application/rtf", then there may be an additional + "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" property with FMTTYPE="text/html" and + DERIVED=TRUE, as well as a value created from the rtf value. + + Example: + STYLED-DESCRIPTION;FMTTYPE=text/html; + DERIVED=TRUE:<html>...</html> + +6. New Properties + + This specification makes use of the "NAME" property, which is defined + in [RFC7986]. + +6.1. Location Type + + Property Name: LOCATION-TYPE + + Purpose: This property specifies the type(s) of a location. + + Value Type: The value type for this property is TEXT. The allowable + values are defined below. + + Description: This property MAY be specified in "VLOCATION" + components and provides a way to differentiate multiple locations. + For example, it allows event producers to provide location + information for the venue and the parking. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + loctype = "LOCATION-TYPE" loctypeparam ":" + text *("," text) + CRLF + + loctypeparam = *(";" other-param) + + Multiple values may be used if the location has multiple purposes, + for example, a hotel and a restaurant. + + Values for this parameter are taken from the values defined in + Section 3 of [RFC4589]. New location types SHOULD be registered + in the manner laid down in Section 5 of [RFC4589]. + +6.2. Participant Type + + Property Name: PARTICIPANT-TYPE + + Purpose: This property specifies the type of participant. + + Value Type: The value type for this property is TEXT. The allowable + values are defined below. + + Property Parameters: Nonstandard parameters can be specified on this + property. + + Conformance: This property MUST be specified once within a + "PARTICIPANT" component. + + Description: This property defines the type of participation in + events or tasks. Participants can be individuals or + organizations, for example, a soccer team, the spectators, or the + musicians. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + participanttype = "PARTICIPANT-TYPE" partvalueparam ":" + partvalue CRLF + + partvalue = ("ACTIVE" + / "INACTIVE" + / "SPONSOR" + / "CONTACT" + / "BOOKING-CONTACT" + / "EMERGENCY-CONTACT" + / "PUBLICITY-CONTACT" + / "PLANNER-CONTACT" + / "PERFORMER" + / "SPEAKER" + / iana-token) ; Other IANA-registered + ; values + + partvalueparam = *(";" other-param) + + Example: The following is an example of this property. + + PARTICIPANT-TYPE:SPEAKER + + The registered values for the "PARTICIPANT-TYPE" property have the + meanings described here: + + ACTIVE: A participant taking an active role -- for example, a team + member. + + INACTIVE: A participant taking an inactive role -- 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 + accompanist. The "ORDER" parameter may be used with this + participant type to define the relative order of multiple + performers. For example, ORDER=1 could define the principal + performer or soloist. + + SPEAKER: Speaker at an event. + +6.3. Resource Type + + Property Name: RESOURCE-TYPE + + Purpose: This property specifies the type of resource. + + Value Type: The value type for this property is TEXT. The allowable + values are defined below. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + restypeprop = "RESOURCE-TYPE" restypeparam ":" + restypevalue CRLF + + restypevalue = ("ROOM" + / "PROJECTOR" + / "REMOTE-CONFERENCE-AUDIO" + / "REMOTE-CONFERENCE-VIDEO" + / iana-token) ; Other IANA-registered + ; values + + restypeparam = *(";" other-param) + + Description: This property MAY be specified in "VRESOURCE" + components and provides a way to differentiate multiple resources. + + The registered values are described below. New resource types + SHOULD be registered in the manner laid down in this + specification. + + ROOM: A room for the event/meeting. + + PROJECTOR: Projection equipment. + + REMOTE-CONFERENCE-AUDIO: Audio remote conferencing facilities. + + REMOTE-CONFERENCE-VIDEO: Video remote conferencing facilities. + +6.4. Calendar Address + + Property Name: CALENDAR-ADDRESS + + Purpose: This property specifies the calendar address for a + participant. + + Value Type: CAL-ADDRESS + + Property Parameters: IANA-registered or nonstandard property + parameters can be specified on this property. + + Conformance: This property MAY be specified once within a + "PARTICIPANT" component. + + Description: This property provides a calendar user address for the + participant. If there is an "ATTENDEE" property with the same + value, then the participant is schedulable. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + calendaraddress = "CALENDAR-ADDRESS" caladdressparam ":" + cal-address CRLF + + caladdressparam = *(";" other-param) + +6.5. Styled-Description + + Property Name: STYLED-DESCRIPTION + + Purpose: This property provides for one or more rich-text + descriptions to replace that provided by the "DESCRIPTION" + 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-registered, nonstandard, id, alternate + text representation, format type, derived, and language property + parameters can be specified on this property. + + Conformance: The property can be specified multiple times in the + "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", "VFREEBUSY", "PARTICIPANT", or + "VALARM" calendar components. + + If it does appear more than once, there MUST be exactly one + instance of the property with no "DERIVED" parameter or + DERIVED=FALSE. All others MUST have DERIVED=TRUE. + + Additionally, if there is one or more "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" + property, then the "DESCRIPTION" property should either be absent + or have the parameter DERIVED=TRUE. + + Description: This property supports rich-text descriptions, for + example, HTML. Event publishers typically wish to provide more + and better-formatted information about the event. + + This property is used in the "VEVENT" and "VTODO" components 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. In the "PARTICIPANT" component, + it provides a detailed description of the participant. + + VALUE=TEXT is used to provide rich text inline as the property + value. + + VALUE=URI is used to provide a link to rich-text content, which is + expected to be displayed inline as part of the event. + + In either case, the "DESCRIPTION" property should be absent or + contain a plain-text rendering of the styled text. + + Applications MAY attempt to guess the media type of the resource + via inspection of its content if and only if the media type of the + resource is not given by the "FMTTYPE" parameter. If the media + type remains unknown, calendar applications SHOULD treat it as + type "text/html" and process the content as defined in + [W3C.REC-html51-20171003]. + + Multiple "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" properties may be used to provide + different formats or different language variants. However, all + but one MUST have DERIVED=TRUE. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + styleddescription = "STYLED-DESCRIPTION" styleddescparam ":" + styleddescval CRLF + + styleddescparam = *( + ; The following is REQUIRED + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + (";" "VALUE" "=" ("URI" / "TEXT")) / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + (";" altrepparam) / (";" languageparam) / + (";" fmttypeparam) / (";" derivedparam) / + ; + ; The following is OPTIONAL + ; and MAY occur more than once. + ; + (";" other-param) + ) + + styleddescval = ( uri / text ) + ;Value MUST match value type + + Example: The following is an example of this property. It points to + an HTML description. + + STYLED-DESCRIPTION;VALUE=URI:http://example.org/desc001.html + +6.6. Structured-Data + + Property Name: STRUCTURED-DATA + + Purpose: This property specifies ancillary data associated with the + calendar component. + + Value Type: There is no default value type for this property. The + value type can be set to TEXT, BINARY, or URI. + + Property Parameters: IANA-registered, nonstandard, inline encoding, + and value data type property parameters can be specified on this + property. The format type and schema parameters can be specified + on this property and MUST be present for text or inline binary + encoded content information. + + Conformance: This property can be specified multiple times in an + iCalendar object. Typically, it would be used in the "VEVENT", + "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL" calendar components. + + Description: The existing properties in iCalendar cover key elements + of events and tasks, such as start time, end time, location, + summary, etc. However, different types of events often have other + specific "fields" that are useful to include in the calendar data. + For example, an event representing an airline flight could include + the airline, flight number, departure and arrival airport codes, + check-in and gate-closing times, etc. As another example, a + sporting event might contain information about the type of sport, + the home and away teams, the league the teams are in, information + about nearby parking, etc. + + This property is used to specify ancillary data in some structured + format, either directly (inline) as a "TEXT" or "BINARY" value or + as a link via a "URI" value. + + Rather than define new iCalendar properties for the variety of + event types that might occur, it would be better to leverage + existing schemas for such data. For example, schemas available at + <https://schema.org> include different event types. By using + standard schemas, interoperability can be improved between + calendar clients and noncalendaring systems that wish to generate + or process the data. + + This property allows the direct inclusion of ancillary data whose + schema is defined elsewhere. This property also includes + parameters to clearly identify the type of the schema being used + so that clients can quickly and easily spot what is relevant + within the calendar data and present that to users or process it + within the calendaring system. + + iCalendar does support an "ATTACH" property, which can be used to + include documents or links to documents within the calendar data. + However, that property does not allow data to be included as a + "TEXT" value (a feature that "STRUCTURED-DATA" does allow), plus + attachments are often treated as "opaque" data to be processed by + some other system rather than the calendar client. Thus, the + existing "ATTACH" property is not sufficient to cover the specific + needs of inclusion of schema data. Extending the "ATTACH" + property to support a new value type would likely cause + interoperability problems. Additionally, some implementations + manage attachments by stripping them out and replacing with a link + to the resource. Thus, a new property to support inclusion of + schema data is warranted. + + Format Definition: This property is defined by the following + notation: + + sdataprop = "STRUCTURED-DATA" sdataparam + ( + ";" "VALUE" "=" "TEXT" + ":" text + ) / + ( + ";" "ENCODING" "=" "BASE64" + ";" "VALUE" "=" "BINARY" + ";" binary + ) / + ( + ";" "VALUE" "=" "URI" + ":" uri + ) + CRLF + + sdataparam = *( + ; + ; The following is OPTIONAL for a URI value, + ; REQUIRED for a TEXT or BINARY value, + ; and MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + (";" fmttypeparam) / + (";" schemaparam) / + ; + ; The following is OPTIONAL + ; and MAY occur more than once. + ; + (";" other-param) + ; + ) + + Example: The following is an example of this property. + + STRUCTURED-DATA;FMTTYPE=application/ld+json; + SCHEMA="https://schema.org/SportsEvent"; + VALUE=TEXT:{\n + "@context": "http://schema.org"\,\n + "@type": "SportsEvent"\,\n + "homeTeam": "Pittsburgh Pirates"\,\n + "awayTeam": "San Francisco Giants"\n + }\n + +7.

Participant + + Component name: PARTICIPANT + + Purpose: This component provides information about a participant in + an event or task. + + Conformance: This component can be specified multiple times in a + "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", or "VFREEBUSY" calendar component. + + Description: This component provides information about a participant + in a calendar component. A participant may be an attendee in a + scheduling sense, and the "ATTENDEE" property may be specified in + addition. Participants can be individuals or organizations, for + example, a soccer team, the spectators, or the musicians. + + "STRUCTURED-DATA" properties, if present, may refer to definitions + of the participant -- such as a vCard. + + The "CALENDAR-ADDRESS" property, if present, will provide a cal- + address. If an "ATTENDEE" property has the same value, the + participant is considered schedulable. The "PARTICIPANT" + component can be used to contain additional metadata related to + the attendee. + + Format Definition: This component is defined by the following + notation: + + participantc = "BEGIN" ":" "PARTICIPANT" CRLF + partprop *locationc *resourcec + "END" ":" "PARTICIPANT" CRLF + + partprop = *( + ; + ; The following are REQUIRED + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + participanttype / uid / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + calendaraddress / created / description / dtstamp / + geo / last-mod / priority / seq / + status / summary / url / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; and MAY occur more than once. + ; + attach / categories / comment + contact / location / rstatus / related / + resources / strucloc / strucres / + styleddescription / sdataprop / iana-prop + ; + ) + + Note: When the "PRIORITY" property is supplied, it defines the + ordering of "PARTICIPANT" components with the same value for the + "PARTICIPANT-TYPE" property. + + Privacy Issues: When a "LOCATION" property is supplied, it provides + information about the location of a participant at a given time or + times. This may represent an unacceptable privacy risk for some + participants. User agents MUST NOT broadcast this information + without the express permission of the participants whose location + would be exposed. For further comments, see Section 10. + + Example: The following is an example of this component. It contains + a "STRUCTURED-DATA" property that points to a vCard providing + information about the event participant. + + BEGIN:PARTICIPANT + UID: em9lQGZvb2GFtcGxlLmNvbQ + PARTICIPANT-TYPE:PERFORMER + STRUCTURED-DATA;VALUE=URI: + http://dir.example.com/vcard/aviolinist.vcf + END:PARTICIPANT + + Example: The following is an example for the primary contact. + + BEGIN:PARTICIPANT + UID: em9lQGZvb2GFtcGxlLmNvbQ + STRUCTURED-DATA;VALUE=URI; + http://dir.example.com/vcard/contacts/contact1.vcf + PARTICIPANT-TYPE:CONTACT + DESCRIPTION:A contact + END:PARTICIPANT + + Example: The following is an example for a participant with contact + and location. + + BEGIN:PARTICIPANT + UID: em9lQGZvb2GFtcGxlLmNdrt + STRUCTURED-DATA;VALUE=URI; + http://dir.example.com/vcard/contacts/my-card.vcf + PARTICIPANT-TYPE:SPEAKER + DESCRIPTION:A participant + BEGIN:VLOCATION + UID:123456-abcdef-98765432 + NAME:My home location + STRUCTURED-DATA;VALUE=URI: + http://dir.example.com/addresses/my-home.vcf + END:VLOCATION + END:PARTICIPANT + +7.1.1. Schedulable Participant + + A "PARTICIPANT" component may represent someone or something that + needs to be scheduled, as defined for ATTENDEE in [RFC5545] and + [RFC5546]. The "PARTICIPANT" component may also represent someone or + something that is NOT to receive scheduling messages. + + For backwards compatibility with existing clients and servers when + used to schedule events and tasks, the "ATTENDEE" property MUST be + used to specify the scheduling parameters as defined for that + property. + + For other, future uses, the "CALENDAR-ADDRESS" property MUST be used + to specify those parameters. + + A "PARTICIPANT" component is defined to be schedulable if: + + * it contains a "CALENDAR-ADDRESS" property and + + * that property value is the same as the value for an "ATTENDEE" + property. + + If both of these conditions apply, then the participant defined by + the value of the URL property will take part in scheduling + operations, as defined in [RFC5546]. + + An appropriate use for the "PARTICIPANT" component in scheduling + would be to store "SEQUENCE" and "DTSTAMP" properties associated with + replies from each "ATTENDEE" property. A "LOCATION" property within + the "PARTICIPANT" component might allow better selection of meeting + times when participants are in different time zones. + +7.2. Location + + Component name: VLOCATION + + Purpose: This component provides rich information about the location + of an event using the structured data property or, optionally, a + plain-text typed value. + + Conformance: This component can be specified multiple times in a + "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", "VFREEBUSY", or "PARTICIPANT" + calendar component. + + Description: There may be a number of locations associated with an + event. This component provides detailed information about a + location. + + 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. + + "STRUCTURED-DATA" properties, if present, may refer to + representations of the location -- such as a vCard. + + Format Definition: This component is defined by the following + notation: + + locationc = "BEGIN" ":" "VLOCATION" CRLF + locprop + "END" ":" "VLOCATION" CRLF + + locprop = *( + ; + ; The following are REQUIRED + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + uid / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + description / geo / loctype / name + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; and MAY occur more than once. + ; + sdataprop / iana-prop + ) + + The "NAME" property is defined in [RFC7986]. + + Example: The following is an example of this component.

Resource + + Component name: VRESOURCE + + Purpose: This component provides a typed reference to external + information about a resource or, optionally, a plain-text typed + value. Typically, a resource is anything that might be required + or used by a calendar entity and possibly has a directory entry. + + Conformance: This component can be specified multiple times in a + "VEVENT", "VTODO", "VJOURNAL", "VFREEBUSY", or "PARTICIPANT" + calendar component. + + Description: When used in a component, this component provides + information about resources used for the event, such as rooms, + projectors, and conferencing capabilities. + + The RESOURCE-TYPE value registry provides a place in which + resource types may be registered. + + "STRUCTURED-DATA" properties, if present, may refer to + representations of the resource -- such as a vCard. + + Format Definition: This component is defined by the following + notation: + + resourcec = "BEGIN" ":" "VRESOURCE" CRLF + resprop + "END" ":" "VRESOURCE" CRLF + + resprop = *( + ; + ; The following are REQUIRED + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + uid / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; but MUST NOT occur more than once. + ; + description / geo / name / restype / + ; + ; The following are OPTIONAL + ; and MAY occur more than once. + ; + sdataprop / iana-prop + ) + + The "NAME" property is defined in [RFC7986]. + + Example: The following is an example of this component.

Extended Examples + + The following are some examples of the use of the properties defined + in this specification. They include additional properties defined in + [RFC7986], which includes "IMAGE". + +8.1. Example 1 + + The following is an example of a "VEVENT" describing a concert.

Security Considerations + + This specification extends [RFC5545] and makes further use of + possibly linked data. While calendar data is not unique in this + regard, it is worth reminding implementors of some of the dangers and + safeguards. + +9.1. URIs + + See [RFC3986] for a discussion of the security considerations + relating to URIs. Because of the issues discussed there and below, + clients SHOULD NOT follow URIs and fetch content automatically and + should only do so at the explicit request of the user. + + Fetching remote resources carries inherent risks. Connections must + only be allowed on well-known ports, using allowed protocols + (generally just HTTP/HTTPS on their default ports). The URL must be + resolved externally and not allowed to access internal resources. + Connecting to an external source reveals IP (and therefore generally + location) information. + + A maliciously constructed iCalendar object may contain a very large + number of URIs. In the case of published calendars with a large + number of subscribers, such objects could be widely distributed. + Implementations should be careful to limit the automatic fetching of + linked resources to reduce the risk of this being an amplification + vector for a denial-of-service attack. + +9.2. Malicious Content + + For the "STRUCTURED-DATA" property, agents need to be aware that a + client could attack underlying storage by sending extremely large + values and could attack processing time by uploading a recurring + event with a large number of overrides and then repeatedly adding, + updating, and deleting structured data. + + Agents should set reasonable limits on storage size and number of + instances and apply those constraints. Calendar protocols should + ensure there is a way to report on such limits being exceeded. + + Malicious content could be introduced into the calendar server by way + of the "STRUCTURED-DATA" property and propagated to many end users + via scheduling. Servers SHOULD check this property for malicious or + inappropriate content. Upon detecting such content, servers SHOULD + remove the property. + +9.3. HTML Content + + When processing HTML content, applications need to be aware of the + many security and privacy issues, as described in the IANA + Considerations section of [W3C.REC-html51-20171003]. + +10. Privacy Considerations + +10.1. Tracking + + Properties with a "URI" value type can expose their users to privacy + leaks, as any network access of the URI data can be tracked both by a + network observer and by the entity hosting the remote resource. + Clients SHOULD NOT automatically download data referenced by the URI + without explicit instruction from users. + + To help alleviate some of the concerns, protocols and services could + provide proxy services for downloading referenced data. + +10.2. Revealing Locations + + The addition of location information to the new participant component + provides information about the location of participants at a given + time. This information MUST NOT be distributed to other participants + without those participant's express permission. Note that there may + be a number of participants who may be unaware of their inclusion in + the data. + + Agents processing and distributing calendar data must be aware that + it has the property of providing information about a future time when + a given individual may be at a particular location, which could + enable targeted attacks against that individual. + + The same may be true of other information contained in the + participant component. In general, revealing only as much as is + absolutely necessary should be the approach taken. + + For example, there may be some privacy considerations relating to the + "ORDER" parameter, as it provides an indication of the organizer's + perception of the relative importance of other participants. + +11. IANA Considerations + +11.1. Additional iCalendar Registrations + +11.1.1.

Participant Types and Resource Types Registries + + This section defines new registration tables for PARTICIPANT-TYPE and + RESOURCE-TYPE values. These tables are updated using the same + approaches laid down in Section 8.2.1 of [RFC5545]. + + This document creates new IANA registries for participant and + resource types. IANA will maintain these registries and, following + the policies outlined in [RFC8126], new tokens are assigned after + Expert Review. The Expert Reviewer will generally consult the IETF + GEOPRIV Working Group mailing list or its designated successor. + Updates or deletions of tokens from the registration follow the same + procedures. The Expert Review should be guided by a few common-sense + considerations. For example, tokens should not be specific to a + country, region, organization, or company; they should be well + defined and widely recognized. The Expert's support of IANA will + include providing IANA with the new token(s) when the update is + provided only in the form of a schema and providing IANA with the new + schema element(s) when the update is provided only in the form of a + token. To ensure widespread usability across protocols, tokens MUST + follow the character set restrictions for XML Names + [W3C.REC-xml-20040204]. Each registration must include the name of + the token and a brief description similar to the ones offered herein + for the initial registrations contained this document. + +11.2.1.
