Internet-Draft Partial PIDF October 2004
1. Introduction
The Presence Information Document Format (PIDF) specifies the
baseline XML based format for describing presence information. One
of the characteristic of the PIDF is that document always needs to
carry all presence information available for the presentity. In some
environments where low bandwidth and high latency links can exist it
is often beneficial to limit the amount of information that is
transported over the network.
This document introduces a new MIME-Type 'application/pidf-diff+xml'
which enables transporting of only changed parts of the PIDF based
presence information.
2. Conventions
In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
"SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY",
and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [1] and
indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations.
This memo makes use of the vocabulary defined in RFC2778 [2]. In
addition, the following terms are defined:
Full presence document: A presence document that contains all the
presentity's presence information that is available to a
particular watcher.
Partial presence document: A presence document that represents a
fragment of the full presence document. A partial presence
documents can only be understood in the context of the full
presence document, i.e., a partial presence document modifies a
local copy of the full presence document. A document with MIME
type 'application/pidf-diff+xml' represents a partial presence
document.
3. Structure of partial PIDF documents
The mechanism for implementing the partial PIDF requires defining a
new MIME type which is named as 'application/pidf-diff+xml'.
The data format is in principle similar to XCAP package [12] except
that instead of the ETag a "version" attribute is used to ensure
consistent updates. The "version" attribute contains a sequence
number that is progressively incremented by one between subsequent
document updates i.e. a more recent document update has a higher
"version" value than the previous one. The recipient of the document
Lonnfors, et al. Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Partial PIDF October 2004
can use the "version" attribute to properly order received documents.
The partial PIDF document contains a collection of add, remove or
replace operations which will be applied one-by-one in the given
order to the current local composition presence document. Each of
the operations contains at least one XPath [15] compatible selector
which is used to select a specific part within the local document.
Furthermore, also the changed or added data content is given. For
example, when an add operation is being requested, the element onto
which new data is going to be appended is searched first and then the
new content is added.
It is an error condition if any of the given operations can not be
unambiguously fulfilled.
In order to keep the update document as small as possible, the
defined namespace prefixes and uri's within the current local
document are used to expand location step prefixes just like in XCAP
[11]. Given the full presence document is using a "pres" prefixed
namespace definition and there's a selector "pres:presence" that has
to be interpreted, the namespace definition has to be found from the
local composition document. As <presence> node happens to be the
root node the definition for the namespace uri must be within that
node. As default namespaces can also be used, a selector like
"presence" is interpreted as if it had an implicit default namespace
uri attached. It should be noted that when using add operation it is
also possible that the namespace definition can be within the content
of corresponding <add> element.
Implementations using this document format must follow guidelines
specified in the PIDF [4]. Specifically, the XML document MUST be
well formed and SHOULD be valid. Presence documents MUST be based on
XML 1.0 and MUST be encoded using UTF-8. This specification makes
use of XML namespaces for identifying presence documents and document
fragments. The namespace URI for elements defined by this
specification is a URN [5], using the namespace identifier 'ietf'
specified in RFC 2648 [6] and extended by RFC3688 [7]. This URN is:
urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf-diff
3.1 "version" attribute
Every presence document compliant with this specification contains a
"version" attribute in the <pidf-diff> element.
Implementations MUST support a 32 bit integer in the version number.
Lonnfors, et al. Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Partial PIDF October 2004
3.2 "entity" attribute
Every presence document compliant with this specification may contain
an "entity" attribute in <pidf-diff> element. It's content MUST then
be the same than that of the full presence document.
3.3 <add> element
The <add> element has two selection attributes: "parent" and "sel".
The content of the "parent" attribute is used to select a single
element from the local composition document onto which new data will
be appended. The second selector "sel" is a relative location step
that will uniquely point after the append to the newly created
element, text-node content or attribute within the "parent" selection
context. If there are several sibling elements in the new document
the "sel" selector MUST include a position constraint to fulfill an
unambiguous request. The content of the <add> element is text for
attributes and elements which have only text-content i.e. XPath
text() function is being used in the last location step. For other
elements the content of <add> element is enclosed with CDATA section
and it inludes all the attributes and child elements and e.g.
possible namespace definitions.
3.4 <replace> element
The <replace> element has only one attribute: "sel" the content of
which is used to select an element, a text-node content or an
attribute that is going to be replaced with the new content. The
content of the <replace> element is the same as with <add> operation.
3.5 <remove> element
The <remove> element has only one attribute: "sel" the content of
which is used to select an element, text-node content or an attribute
that is going to be removed.
4. Usage of 'application/pidf-diff+xml'
The partial presence document SHOULD only contain those elements or
attributes that have changed. However, when there are a lot of
queued changes it may be desirable to send the full presence document
content instead. How this will be done in practice is beyond the
scope of this document. This document format allows to use the root
node selector i.e. "presence" which actually contains the full
content of the presence document as there can only be one root node
in any valid XML document. It should be noted that it is still
impossible to create a new document with this format, i.e. first the
full presence document has to be sent with the PIDF format and then
Lonnfors, et al. Expires April 25, 2005 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Partial PIDF October 2004
only patches are sent with this format.
5. Node Selector
The ABNF [14] is used to describe the syntax for the node selector
expressions. The node selector syntax is defined to be XPath [15]
compatible, but has a more restricted set of capabilities. Each
element selection has to point to a single node. As the document
root is always the starting point for selections relative location
paths can be used.
node-sel = element-sel ["/" (attribute-sel / "text()")]
element-sel = element-step *("/" element-step)
element-step = ("*" / node-name) [conditions]
conditions = *("[" condition "]")
condition = 1*DIGIT / ; positional
cond-name "=" <"> value <"> ; value comparison
cond-name = "@" node-name / ; attribute selection
node-name / ; element selection
"." ; current node selection
node-name = [prefix ":"] string
prefix = <any sequence of data supported by XML for namespace
prefixes>
string = <any sequence of data supported by XML for element or
attribute names>
value = <any sequence of data supported by XML for element or
attribute values>
attribute-sel = "@" node-name
6. IANA Considerations
This memo calls for IANA to:
o register a new XML namespace URN per [7].
o register a new content type 'application/pidf-diff+xml' per
RFC2048 [10].

9. Interoperability Considerations
Systems compliant with CPP [9] will not be by default able to use
this specification. However, this will not cause any
interoperability problems because all endpoints and gateways must
support the default MIME type (application/pidf+xml) regardless if
they support this specification. Thus if a gateway or another end
point does not understand this specification it will not be used.
Other CPP compliant (other than SIP based) systems can also support
this specification if they have a mechanism to indicate support for
it. If they do it is possible to build a gateway which will preserve
end-to-end integrity with usage of partial PIDF.

10. Security Considerations
Presence information may contain highly sensitive information about
the presentities. The protocol used to distribute it SHOULD ensure
privacy, message integrity and authentication. Furthermore, the
protocol should provide access controls which restrict who can see
who else's presence information. All security considerations
identified for PIDF [4] apply unchanged for this document.
