|
+
email address, multiple telephone numbers, photograph, logo, audio
|
18
|
+
clips, etc.). This document obsoletes RFCs 2425, 2426, and 4770, and
|
19
|
+
updates RFC 2739.

1. Introduction
|
185
|
+
|
186
|
+
Electronic address books have become ubiquitous. Their increased
|
187
|
+
presence on portable, connected devices as well as the diversity of
|
188
|
+
platforms that exchange contact data call for a standard. This memo
|
189
|
+
defines the vCard format, which allows the capture and exchange of
|
190
|
+
information normally stored within an address book or directory
|
191
|
+
application.
|
192
|
+
|
193
|
+
A high-level overview of the differences from RFCs 2425 and 2426 can
|
194
|
+
be found in Appendix A.
|
195
|
+
|
196
|
+
2. Conventions
|
197
|
+
|
198
|
+
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|
199
|
+
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
|
200
|
+
"OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
|
201
|
+
[RFC2119].
|
202
|
+
|
203
|
+
3. vCard Format Specification
|
204
|
+
|
205
|
+
The text/vcard MIME content type (hereafter known as "vCard"; see
|
206
|
+
Section 10.1) contains contact information, typically pertaining to a
|
207
|
+
single contact or group of contacts. The content consists of one or
|
208
|
+
more lines in the format given below.
|
209
|
+
|
210
|
+
3.1. Charset
|
211
|
+
|
212
|
+
The charset (see [RFC3536] for internationalization terminology) for
|
213
|
+
vCard is UTF-8 as defined in [RFC3629]. There is no way to override
|
214
|
+
this. It is invalid to specify a value other than "UTF-8" in the
|
215
|
+
"charset" MIME parameter (see Section 10.1).
|
216
|
+
|
217
|
+
3.2. Line Delimiting and Folding
|
218
|
+
|
219
|
+
Individual lines within vCard are delimited by the [RFC5322] line
|
220
|
+
break, which is a CRLF sequence (U+000D followed by U+000A). Long
|
221
|
+
logical lines of text can be split into a multiple-physical-line
|
222
|
+
representation using the following folding technique. Content lines
|
223
|
+
SHOULD be folded to a maximum width of 75 octets, excluding the line
|
224
|
+
break. Multi-octet characters MUST remain contiguous. The rationale
|
225
|
+
for this folding process can be found in [RFC5322], Section 2.1.1.
|
226
|
+
|
227
|
+
A logical line MAY be continued on the next physical line anywhere
|
228
|
+
between two characters by inserting a CRLF immediately followed by a
|
229
|
+
single white space character (space (U+0020) or horizontal tab
|
230
|
+
(U+0009)). The folded line MUST contain at least one character. Any
|
231
|
+
sequence of CRLF followed immediately by a single white space
|
232
|
+
|
233
|
+
character is ignored (removed) when processing the content type. For
|
234
|
+
example, the line:
|
235
|
+
|
236
|
+
NOTE:This is a long description that exists on a long line.
|
237
|
+
|
238
|
+
can be represented as:
|
239
|
+
|
240
|
+
NOTE:This is a long description
|
241
|
+
that exists on a long line.
|
242
|
+
|
243
|
+
It could also be represented as:
|
244
|
+
|
245
|
+
NOTE:This is a long descrip
|
246
|
+
tion that exists o
|
247
|
+
n a long line.
|
248
|
+
|
249
|
+
The process of moving from this folded multiple-line representation
|
250
|
+
of a property definition to its single-line representation is called
|
251
|
+
unfolding. Unfolding is accomplished by regarding CRLF immediately
|
252
|
+
followed by a white space character (namely, HTAB (U+0009) or SPACE
|
253
|
+
(U+0020)) as equivalent to no characters at all (i.e., the CRLF and
|
254
|
+
single white space character are removed).
|
255
|
+
|
256
|
+
Note: It is possible for very simple implementations to generate
|
257
|
+
improperly folded lines in the middle of a UTF-8 multi-octet
|
258
|
+
sequence. For this reason, implementations SHOULD unfold lines in
|
259
|
+
such a way as to properly restore the original sequence.
|
260
|
+
|
261
|
+
Note: Unfolding is done differently than in [RFC5322]. Unfolding
|
262
|
+
in [RFC5322] only removes the CRLF, not the space following it.
|
263
|
+
|
264
|
+
Folding is done after any content encoding of a type value.
|
265
|
+
Unfolding is done before any decoding of a type value in a content
|
266
|
+
line.
|
267
|
+
|
268
|
+
3.3. ABNF Format Definition
|
269
|
+
|
270
|
+
The following ABNF uses the notation of [RFC5234], which also defines
|
271
|
+
CRLF, WSP, DQUOTE, VCHAR, ALPHA, and DIGIT.
|
272
|
+
|
273
|
+
vcard-entity = 1*vcard
|
274
|
+
|
275
|
+
vcard = "BEGIN:VCARD" CRLF
|
276
|
+
"VERSION:4.0" CRLF
|
277
|
+
1*contentline
|
278
|
+
"END:VCARD" CRLF
|
279
|
+
; A vCard object MUST include the VERSION and FN properties.
|
280
|
+
; VERSION MUST come immediately after BEGIN:VCARD.
|
281
|
+
|
282
|
+
contentline = [group "."] name *(";" param) ":" value CRLF
|
283
|
+
; When parsing a content line, folded lines must first
|
284
|
+
; be unfolded according to the unfolding procedure

285

286

; When generating a content line, lines longer than 75

|

|
331
|

A line that begins with a white space character is a continuation of
|
332
|
+
the previous line, as described in Section 3.2. The white space
|
333
|
+
character and immediately preceeding CRLF should be discarded when
|
334
|
+
reconstructing the original line. Note that this line-folding
|
335
|
+
convention differs from that found in [RFC5322], in that the sequence
|
336
|
+
<CRLF><WSP> found anywhere in the content indicates a continued line
|
337
|
+
and should be removed.
|
338
|
+
|
339
|
+
Property names and parameter names are case-insensitive (e.g., the
|
340
|
+
property name "fn" is the same as "FN" and "Fn"). Parameter values
|
341
|
+
MAY be case-sensitive or case-insensitive, depending on their
|
342
|
+
definition. Parameter values that are not explicitly defined as
|
343
|
+
being case-sensitive are case-insensitive. Based on experience with
|
344
|
+
vCard 3 interoperability, it is RECOMMENDED that property and
|
345
|
+
parameter names be upper-case on output.
|
346
|
+
|
347
|
+
The group construct is used to group related properties together.
|
348
|
+
The group name is a syntactic convention used to indicate that all
|
349
|
+
property names prefaced with the same group name SHOULD be grouped
|
350
|
+
together when displayed by an application. It has no other
|
351
|
+
significance. Implementations that do not understand or support
|
352
|
+
grouping MAY simply strip off any text before a "." to the left of
|
353
|
+
the type name and present the types and values as normal.
|
354
|
+
|
355
|
+
Property cardinalities are indicated using the following notation,
|
356
|
+
which is based on ABNF (see [RFC5234], Section 3.6):
|
357
|
+
|
358
|
+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
|
359
|
+
| Cardinality | Meaning |
|
360
|
+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
|
361
|
+
| 1 | Exactly one instance per vCard MUST be present. |
|
362
|
+
| *1 | Exactly one instance per vCard MAY be present. |
|
363
|
+
| 1* | One or more instances per vCard MUST be present. |
|
364
|
+
| * | One or more instances per vCard MAY be present. |
|
365
|
+
+-------------+--------------------------------------------------+
|
366
|
+
|
367
|
+
Properties defined in a vCard instance may have multiple values
|
368
|
+
depending on the property cardinality. The general rule for encoding
|
369
|
+
multi-valued properties is to simply create a new content line for
|
370
|
+
each value (including the property name). However, it should be
|
371
|
+
noted that some value types support encoding multiple values in a
|
372
|
+
single content line by separating the values with a comma ",". This
|
373
|
+
approach has been taken for several of the content types defined
|
374
|
+
below (date, time, integer, float).
|
375
|
+
|
376
|
+
3.4. Property Value Escaping
|
377
|
+
|
378
|
+
Some properties may contain one or more values delimited by a COMMA
|
379
|
+
character (U+002C). Therefore, a COMMA character in a value MUST be
|
380
|
+
escaped with a BACKSLASH character (U+005C), even for properties that
|
381
|
+
don't allow multiple instances (for consistency).
|
382
|
+
|
383
|
+
Some properties (e.g., N and ADR) comprise multiple fields delimited
|
384
|
+
by a SEMICOLON character (U+003B). Therefore, a SEMICOLON in a field
|
385
|
+
of such a "compound" property MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH
|
386
|
+
character. SEMICOLON characters in non-compound properties MAY be
|
387
|
+
escaped. On input, an escaped SEMICOLON character is never a field
|
388
|
+
separator. An unescaped SEMICOLON character may be a field
|
389
|
+
separator, depending on the property in which it appears.
|
390
|
+
|
391
|
+
Furthermore, some fields of compound properties may contain a list of
|
392
|
+
values delimited by a COMMA character. Therefore, a COMMA character
|
393
|
+
in one of a field's values MUST be escaped with a BACKSLASH
|
394
|
+
character, even for fields that don't allow multiple values (for
|
395
|
+
consistency). Compound properties allowing multiple instances MUST
|
396
|
+
NOT be encoded in a single content line.
|
397
|
+
|
398
|
+
Finally, BACKSLASH characters in values MUST be escaped with a
|
399
|
+
BACKSLASH character. NEWLINE (U+000A) characters in values MUST be
|
400
|
+
encoded by two characters: a BACKSLASH followed by either an 'n'
|
401
|
+
(U+006E) or an 'N' (U+004E).
|
402
|
+
|
403
|
+
In all other cases, escaping MUST NOT be used.

4.1. TEXT
|
490
|
+
|
491
|
+
"text": The "text" value type should be used to identify values that
|
492
|
+
contain human-readable text. As for the language, it is controlled
|
493
|
+
by the LANGUAGE property parameter defined in Section 5.1.
|
494
|
+
|
495
|
+
Examples for "text":
|
496
|
+
|
497
|
+
this is a text value
|
498
|
+
this is one value,this is another
|
499
|
+
this is a single value\, with a comma encoded
|
500
|
+
|
501
|
+
A formatted text line break in a text value type MUST be represented
|
502
|
+
as the character sequence backslash (U+005C) followed by a Latin
|
503
|
+
small letter n (U+006E) or a Latin capital letter N (U+004E), that
|
504
|

520
|
+
|
521
|
+
4.2. URI
|
522
|
+
|
523
|
+
"uri": The "uri" value type should be used to identify values that
|
524
|
+
are referenced by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) instead of
|
525
|
+
encoded in-line. These value references might be used if the value
|
526
|
+
is too large, or otherwise undesirable to include directly. The
|
527
|
+
format for the URI is as defined in Section 3 of [RFC3986]. Note
|
528
|
+
that the value of a property of type "uri" is what the URI points to,
|
529
|
+
not the URI itself.
|
530
|
+
|
531
|
+
Examples for "uri":

|
539
|
+
Each of these value types is based on the definitions in
|
540
|
+
[ISO.8601.2004]. Multiple such values can be specified using the
|
541
|
+
comma-separated notation.

693
|
+
value is a signed offset from UTC. This value type can be specified
|
694
|
+
in the TZ property.
|
695
|
+
|
696
|
+
The value type is an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).
|
697
|
+
It is specified as a positive or negative difference in units of
|
698
|
+
hours and minutes (e.g., +hhmm). The time is specified as a 24-hour
|
699
|
+
clock. Hour values are from 00 to 23, and minute values are from 00
|
700
|
+
to 59. Hour and minutes are 2 digits with high-order zeroes required
|
701
|
+
to maintain digit count. The basic format for ISO 8601 UTC offsets
|
702
|
+
MUST be used.
|
703
|
+
|
704
|
+
4.8. LANGUAGE-TAG
|
705
|
+
|
706

|
+
|
708
|
+
5. Property Parameters
|
709
|
+
|
710
|
+
A property can have attributes associated with it. These "property
|
711
|
+
parameters" contain meta-information about the property or the
|
712
|
+
property value. In some cases, the property parameter can be multi-
|
713
|
+
valued in which case the property parameter value elements are
|
714
|
+
separated by a COMMA (U+002C).
|
715
|
+
|
716
|
+
Property parameter value elements that contain the COLON (U+003A),
|
717
|
+
SEMICOLON (U+003B), or COMMA (U+002C) character separators MUST be
|
718
|
+
specified as quoted-string text values. Property parameter values
|
719
|
+
MUST NOT contain the DQUOTE (U+0022) character. The DQUOTE character
|
720
|
+
is used as a delimiter for parameter values that contain restricted
|
721
|
+
characters or URI text.
|
722
|
+
|
723
|
+
Applications MUST ignore x-param and iana-param values they don't
|
724
|
+
recognize.
|

5.1. LANGUAGE
|
727
|
+
|
728
|
+
The LANGUAGE property parameter is used to identify data in multiple
|
729
|
+
languages. There is no concept of "default" language, except as
|
730
|
+
specified by any "Content-Language" MIME header parameter that is
|
731
|
+
present [RFC3282]. The value of the LANGUAGE property parameter is a
|
732
|
+
language tag as defined in Section 2 of [RFC5646].
|
733
|
+
|
734
|
+
Examples:
|
735
|
+
|
736
|
+
ROLE;LANGUAGE=tr:hoca

+
|
738

|
+
|
740
|
+
language-param = "LANGUAGE=" Language-Tag
|
741
|
+
; Language-Tag is defined in section 2.1 of RFC 5646
|
742
|
+
|
743
|
+
5.2. VALUE
|
744
|
+
|
745
|
+
The VALUE parameter is OPTIONAL, used to identify the value type
|
746
|
+
(data type) and format of the value. The use of these predefined
|
747
|
+
formats is encouraged even if the value parameter is not explicitly
|
748
|
+
used. By defining a standard set of value types and their formats,
|
749
|
+
existing parsing and processing code can be leveraged. The
|
750
|
+
|
751
|
+
predefined data type values MUST NOT be repeated in COMMA-separated
|
752
|
+
value lists except within the N, NICKNAME, ADR, and CATEGORIES
|
753
|
+
properties.

|
774
|
+
5.3. PREF
|
775
|
+
|
776
|
+
The PREF parameter is OPTIONAL and is used to indicate that the
|
777
|
+
corresponding instance of a property is preferred by the vCard
|
778
|
+
author. Its value MUST be an integer between 1 and 100 that
|
779
|
+
quantifies the level of preference. Lower values correspond to a
|
780
|
+
higher level of preference, with 1 being most preferred.
|
781
|
+
|
782
|
+
When the parameter is absent, the default MUST be to interpret the
|
783
|
+
property instance as being least preferred.
|
784
|
+
|
785
|
+
Note that the value of this parameter is to be interpreted only in
|
786
|
+
relation to values assigned to other instances of the same property
|
787
|
+
in the same vCard. A given value, or the absence of a value, MUST
|
788
|
+
NOT be interpreted on its own.
|
789
|
+
|
790
|
+
This parameter MAY be applied to any property that allows multiple
|
791
|
+
instances.
|
792
|
+
|
793
|
+
ABNF:
|
794
|
+
|
795
|
+
pref-param = "PREF=" (1*2DIGIT / "100")
|
796
|
+
; An integer between 1 and 100.
|
797
|
+
|
798
|
+
5.4. ALTID
|
799
|
+
|
800
|
+
The ALTID parameter is used to "tag" property instances as being
|
801
|
+
alternative representations of the same logical property. For
|
802
|
+
example, translations of a property in multiple languages generates
|
803
|
+
multiple property instances having different LANGUAGE (Section 5.1)
|
804
|
+
parameter that are tagged with the same ALTID value.
|
805
|
+
|
806
|
+
This parameter's value is treated as an opaque string. Its sole
|
807
|
+
purpose is to be compared for equality against other ALTID parameter
|
808
|
+
values.
|
809
|
+
|
810
|
+
Two property instances are considered alternative representations of
|
811
|
+
the same logical property if and only if their names as well as the
|
812
|
+
value of their ALTID parameters are identical. Property instances
|
813
|
+
without the ALTID parameter MUST NOT be considered an alternative
|
814
|
+
representation of any other property instance. Values for the ALTID
|
815
|
+
parameter are not globally unique: they MAY be reused for different
|
816
|
+
property names.
|
817
|
+
|
818
|
+
Property instances having the same ALTID parameter value count as 1
|
819
|
+
toward cardinality. Therefore, since N (Section 6.2.2) has
|
820
|
+
cardinality *1 and TITLE (Section 6.6.1) has cardinality *, these
|
821
|
+
three examples would be legal:
|
822
|
+
|
823
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=jp:<U+5C71><U+7530>;<U+592A><U+90CE>;;;
|
824
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=en:Yamada;Taro;;;
|
825
|
+
(<U+XXXX> denotes a UTF8-encoded Unicode character.)
|
826
|
+
|
827
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=fr:Patron
|
828
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=en:Boss
|
829
|
+
|
830
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=fr:Patron
|
831
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=en:Boss
|
832
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=2;LANGUAGE=en:Chief vCard Evangelist
|
833
|
+
|
834
|
+
while this one would not:
|
835
|
+
|
836
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=jp:<U+5C71><U+7530>;<U+592A><U+90CE>;;;
|
837
|
+
N:Yamada;Taro;;;
|
838
|
+
(Two instances of the N property.)
|
839
|
+
|
840
|
+
and these three would be legal but questionable:
|
841
|
+
|
842
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=fr:Patron
|
843
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=2;LANGUAGE=en:Boss
|
844
|
+
(Should probably have the same ALTID value.)
|
845
|
+
|
846
|
+
TITLE;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=fr:Patron
|
847
|
+
TITLE:LANGUAGE=en:Boss
|
848
|
+
(Second line should probably have ALTID=1.)
|
849
|
+
|
850
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=jp:<U+5C71><U+7530>;<U+592A><U+90CE>;;;
|
851
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=en:Yamada;Taro;;;
|
852
|
+
N;ALTID=1;LANGUAGE=en:Smith;John;;;
|
853
|
+
(The last line should probably have ALTID=2. But that would be
|
854
|
+
illegal because N has cardinality *1.)
|
855
|
+
|
856
|
+
The ALTID property MAY also be used in may contexts other than with
|
857
|
+
the LANGUAGE parameter. Here's an example with two representations
|
858
|
+
of the same photo in different file formats:
|
859
|
+
|
860
|
+
PHOTO;ALTID=1:data:image/jpeg;base64,...
|
861
|
+
PHOTO;ALTID=1;data:image/jp2;base64,...
|
862
|
+
|
863
|
+
ABNF:
|
864
|
+
|
865
|
+
altid-param = "ALTID=" param-value
|
866
|
+
|
867
|
+
5.5. PID
|
868
|
+
|
869
|
+
The PID parameter is used to identify a specific property among
|
870
|
+
multiple instances. It plays a role analogous to the UID property
|
871
|
+
(Section 6.7.6) on a per-property instead of per-vCard basis. It MAY
|
872
|
+
appear more than once in a given property. It MUST NOT appear on
|
873
|
+
properties that may have only one instance per vCard. Its value is
|
874
|
+
either a single small positive integer or a pair of small positive
|
875
|
+
integers separated by a dot. Multiple values may be encoded in a
|
876
|
+
single PID parameter by separating the values with a comma ",". See
|
877
|
+
Section 7 for more details on its usage.
|
878
|
+
|
879
|
+
ABNF:
|
880
|
+
|
881
|
+
pid-param = "PID=" pid-value *("," pid-value)
|
882
|
+
pid-value = 1*DIGIT ["." 1*DIGIT]
|
883
|
+
|
884
|
+
5.6. TYPE
|
885
|
+
|
886
|
+
The TYPE parameter has multiple, different uses. In general, it is a
|
887
|
+
way of specifying class characteristics of the associated property.
|
888
|
+
Most of the time, its value is a comma-separated subset of a
|
889
|
+
predefined enumeration. In this document, the following properties
|
890
|
+
make use of this parameter: FN, NICKNAME, PHOTO, ADR, TEL, EMAIL,
|
891
|
+
IMPP, LANG, TZ, GEO, TITLE, ROLE, LOGO, ORG, RELATED, CATEGORIES,
|
892
|
+
|
893
|
+
NOTE, SOUND, URL, KEY, FBURL, CALADRURI, and CALURI. The TYPE
|
894
|
+
parameter MUST NOT be applied on other properties defined in this
|
895
|
+
document.
|
896
|
+
|
897
|
+
The "work" and "home" values act like tags. The "work" value implies
|
898
|
+
that the property is related to an individual's work place, while the
|
899
|
+
"home" value implies that the property is related to an individual's
|
900
|
+
personal life. When neither "work" nor "home" is present, it is
|
901
|
+
implied that the property is related to both an individual's work
|
902
|
+
place and personal life in the case that the KIND property's value is
|
903
|
+
"individual", or to none in other cases.

|
+
|
913
|
+
5.7. MEDIATYPE
|
914
|
+
|
915
|
+
The MEDIATYPE parameter is used with properties whose value is a URI.
|
916
|
+
Its use is OPTIONAL. It provides a hint to the vCard consumer
|
917
|
+
application about the media type [RFC2046] of the resource identified
|
918
|
+
by the URI. Some URI schemes do not need this parameter. For
|
919
|
+
example, the "data" scheme allows the media type to be explicitly
|
920
|
+
indicated as part of the URI [RFC2397]. Another scheme, "http",
|
921
|
+
provides the media type as part of the URI resolution process, with
|
922
|
+
the Content-Type HTTP header [RFC2616]. The MEDIATYPE parameter is
|
923
|
+
intended to be used with URI schemes that do not provide such
|
924
|
+
functionality (e.g., "ftp" [RFC1738]).
|
925
|
+
|
926

+
ABNF:

+
; "attribute" and "value" are from [RFC2045]
|
931
|
+
; "type-name" and "subtype-name" are from [RFC4288]
|
932
|
+
|
933
|
+
5.8. CALSCALE
|
934
|
+
|
935
|
+
The CALSCALE parameter is identical to the CALSCALE property in
|
936
|
+
iCalendar (see [RFC5545], Section 3.7.1). It is used to define the
|
937
|
+
calendar system in which a date or date-time value is expressed. The
|
938
|
+
only value specified by iCalendar is "gregorian", which stands for
|
939
|
+
the Gregorian system. It is the default when the parameter is
|
940
|
+
absent. Additional values may be defined in extension documents and
|
941
|
+
|
942
|
+
registered with IANA (see Section 10.3.4). A vCard implementation
|
943
|
+
MUST ignore properties with a CALSCALE parameter value that it does
|
944
|
+
not understand.
|
945
|
+
|
946
|
+
ABNF:
|
947
|
+

|
+
calscale-param = "CALSCALE=" calscale-value

+
calscale-value = "gregorian" / iana-token / x-name
|
951
|
+
|
952
|
+
5.9. SORT-AS
|
953
|
+
|
954
|
+
The "sort-as" parameter is used to specify the string to be used for
|
955
|
+
national-language-specific sorting. Without this information,
|
956
|
+
sorting algorithms could incorrectly sort this vCard within a
|
957
|
+
sequence of sorted vCards. When this property is present in a vCard,
|
958
|
+
then the given strings are used for sorting the vCard.
|
959
|
+
|
960
|
+
This parameter's value is a comma-separated list that MUST have as
|
961
|
+
many or fewer elements as the corresponding property value has
|
962
|
+
components. This parameter's value is case-sensitive.
|
963
|
+
|
964
|
+
ABNF:

5.10. GEO
|
1011
|
+
|
1012
|
+
The GEO parameter can be used to indicate global positioning
|
1013
|
+
information that is specific to an address. Its value is the same as
|
1014
|
+
that of the GEO property (see Section 6.5.2).

6. vCard Properties
|
1031
|
+
|
1032
|
+
What follows is an enumeration of the standard vCard properties.
|
1033
|
+
|
1034
|
+
6.1. General Properties
|
1035
|
+
|
1036
|
+
6.1.1. BEGIN
|
1037
|
+
|
1038
|
+
Purpose: To denote the beginning of a syntactic entity within a
|
1039
|
+
text/vcard content-type.
|
1040
|
+
|
1041
|
+
Value type: text
|
1042
|
+
|
1043
|
+
Cardinality: 1
|
1044
|
+
|
1045
|
+
Special notes: The content entity MUST begin with the BEGIN property
|
1046
|
+
with a value of "VCARD". The value is case-insensitive.
|
1047
|
+
|
1048
|
+
The BEGIN property is used in conjunction with the END property to
|
1049
|
+
delimit an entity containing a related set of properties within a
|
1050
|
+
text/vcard content-type. This construct can be used instead of
|
1051
|
+
including multiple vCards as body parts inside of a multipart/
|
1052
|
+
alternative MIME message. It is provided for applications that
|
1053
|
+
wish to define content that can contain multiple entities within
|
1054

which applications knowledgable in the given directory service

6.1.4. KIND
|
1129
|
+
|
1130
|
+
Purpose: To specify the kind of object the vCard represents.
|
1131
|
+
|
1132
|
+
Value type: A single text value.
|
1133
|
+
|
1134
|
+
Cardinality: *1
|
1135
|
+
|
1136
|
+
Special notes: The value may be one of the following:
|
1137
|
+
|
1138
|
+
"individual" for a vCard representing a single person or entity.
|
1139
|
+
This is the default kind of vCard.
|
1140
|
+
|
1141
|
+
"group" for a vCard representing a group of persons or entities.
|
1142
|
+
The group's member entities can be other vCards or other types
|
1143
|
+
of entities, such as email addresses or web sites. A group
|
1144
|
+
vCard will usually contain MEMBER properties to specify the
|
1145
|
+
members of the group, but it is not required to. A group vCard
|
1146
|
+
without MEMBER properties can be considered an abstract
|
1147
|
+
grouping, or one whose members are known empirically (perhaps
|
1148
|
+
"IETF Participants" or "Republican U.S. Senators").
|
1149
|
+
|
1150
|
+
All properties in a group vCard apply to the group as a whole,
|
1151
|
+
and not to any particular MEMBER. For example, an EMAIL
|
1152
|
+
property might specify the address of a mailing list associated
|
1153
|
+
with the group, and an IMPP property might refer to a group
|
1154
|
+
chat room.
|
1155
|
+
|
1156
|
+
"org" for a vCard representing an organization. An organization
|
1157
|
+
vCard will not (in fact, MUST NOT) contain MEMBER properties,
|
1158
|
+
and so these are something of a cross between "individual" and
|
1159
|
+
"group". An organization is a single entity, but not a person.
|
1160
|
+
It might represent a business or government, a department or
|
1161
|
+
division within a business or government, a club, an
|
1162
|
+
association, or the like.
|
1163
|
+
|
1164
|
+
All properties in an organization vCard apply to the
|
1165
|
+
organization as a whole, as is the case with a group vCard.
|
1166
|
+
For example, an EMAIL property might specify the address of a
|
1167
|
+
contact point for the organization.
|
1168
|
+
|
1169
|
+
"location" for a named geographical place. A location vCard will
|
1170
|
+
usually contain a GEO property, but it is not required to. A
|
1171
|
+
location vCard without a GEO property can be considered an
|
1172
|
+
abstract location, or one whose definition is known empirically
|
1173
|
+
(perhaps "New England" or "The Seashore").
|
1174
|
+
|
1175
|
+
All properties in a location vCard apply to the location
|
1176
|
+
itself, and not with any entity that might exist at that
|
1177
|
+
location. For example, in a vCard for an office building, an
|
1178
|
+
ADR property might give the mailing address for the building,
|
1179
|
+
and a TEL property might specify the telephone number of the
|
1180
|
+
receptionist.
|
1181
|
+
|
1182
|
+
An x-name. vCards MAY include private or experimental values for
|
1183
|
+
KIND. Remember that x-name values are not intended for general
|
1184
|
+
use and are unlikely to interoperate.
|
1185
|
+
|
1186
|
+
An iana-token. Additional values may be registered with IANA (see
|
1187
|
+
Section 10.3.4). A new value's specification document MUST
|
1188
|
+
specify which properties make sense for that new kind of vCard
|
1189
|
+
and which do not.
|
1190
|
+
|
1191
|
+
Implementations MUST support the specific string values defined
|
1192
|
+
above. If this property is absent, "individual" MUST be assumed
|
1193
|
+
as the default. If this property is present but the
|
1194
|
+
implementation does not understand its value (the value is an
|
1195
|
+
x-name or iana-token that the implementation does not support),
|
1196
|
+
the implementation SHOULD act in a neutral way, which usually
|
1197
|
+
means treating the vCard as though its kind were "individual".
|
1198
|
+
The presence of MEMBER properties MAY, however, be taken as an
|
1199
|
+
indication that the unknown kind is an extension of "group".
|
1200
|
+
|
1201
|
+
Clients often need to visually distinguish contacts based on what
|
1202
|
+
they represent, and the KIND property provides a direct way for
|
1203
|
+
them to do so. For example, when displaying contacts in a list,
|
1204
|
+
an icon could be displayed next to each one, using distinctive
|
1205
|
+
icons for the different kinds; a client might use an outline of a
|
1206
|
+
single person to represent an "individual", an outline of multiple
|
1207
|
+
people to represent a "group", and so on. Alternatively, or in
|
1208
|
+
addition, a client might choose to segregate different kinds of
|
1209
|
+
vCards to different panes, tabs, or selections in the user
|
1210
|
+
interface.
|
1211
|
+
|
1212
|
+
Some clients might also make functional distinctions among the
|
1213
|
+
kinds, ignoring "location" vCards for some purposes and
|
1214
|
+
considering only "location" vCards for others.
|
1215
|
+
|
1216
|
+
When designing those sorts of visual and functional distinctions,
|
1217
|
+
client implementations have to decide how to fit unsupported kinds
|
1218
|
+
into the scheme. What icon is used for them? The one for
|
1219
|
+
"individual"? A unique one, such as an icon of a question mark?
|
1220
|
+
Which tab do they go into? It is beyond the scope of this
|
1221
|
+
specification to answer these questions, but these are things
|
1222
|
+
implementers need to consider.

6.3. Delivery Addressing Properties
|
1492
|
+
|
1493
|
+
These types are concerned with information related to the delivery
|
1494
|
+
addressing or label for the vCard object.
|
1495
|
+
|
1496
|
+
6.3.1. ADR
|
1497
|
+
|
1498
|
+
Purpose: To specify the components of the delivery address for the
|
1499
|
+
vCard object.
|
1500
|
+
|
1501
|
+
Value type: A single structured text value, separated by the
|
1502
|
+
SEMICOLON character (U+003B).
|

|
1504
|
+
Cardinality: *
|
1505
|
+
|
1506
|
+
Special notes: The structured type value consists of a sequence of
|
1507
|
+
address components. The component values MUST be specified in
|
1508
|
+
their corresponding position. The structured type value
|
1509
|
+
corresponds, in sequence, to
|
1510
|
+
the post office box;
|
1511
|
+
the extended address (e.g., apartment or suite number);
|
1512
|
+
the street address;
|
1513
|
+
the locality (e.g., city);
|
1514
|
+
the region (e.g., state or province);
|
1515
|
+
the postal code;
|
1516
|
+
the country name (full name in the language specified in
|
1517
|
+
Section 5.1).
|
1518
|
+
|
1519
|
+
When a component value is missing, the associated component
|
1520
|
+
separator MUST still be specified.
|
1521
|
+
|
1522
|
+
Experience with vCard 3 has shown that the first two components
|
1523
|
+
(post office box and extended address) are plagued with many
|
1524
|
+
interoperability issues. To ensure maximal interoperability,
|
1525
|
+
their values SHOULD be empty.
|
1526
|
+
|
1527
|
+
The text components are separated by the SEMICOLON character
|
1528
|
+
(U+003B). Where it makes semantic sense, individual text
|
1529
|
+
components can include multiple text values (e.g., a "street"
|
1530
|
+
component with multiple lines) separated by the COMMA character
|
1531
|
+
(U+002C).
|
1532
|
+
|
1533
|
+
The property can include the "PREF" parameter to indicate the
|
1534
|
+
preferred delivery address when more than one address is
|
1535
|
+
specified.
|
1536
|
+
|
1537
|
+
The GEO and TZ parameters MAY be used with this property.
|
1538
|
+
|
1539
|
+
The property can also include a "LABEL" parameter to present a
|
1540
|
+
delivery address label for the address. Its value is a plain-text
|
1541
|
+
string representing the formatted address. Newlines are encoded
|
1542
|
+
as \n, as they are for property values.

|
1579
|
+
with the object the vCard represents.
|
1580
|
+
|
1581
|
+
Value type: By default, it is a single free-form text value (for
|
1582
|
+
backward compatibility with vCard 3), but it SHOULD be reset to a
|
1583
|
+
URI value. It is expected that the URI scheme will be "tel", as
|
1584
|
+
specified in [RFC3966], but other schemes MAY be used.

1613
|
+
specified as a parameter list (e.g., TYPE=text;TYPE=voice) or as a
|
1614
|
+
value list (e.g., TYPE="text,voice"). The default can be
|
1615
|
+
overridden to another set of values by specifying one or more
|
1616
|
+
alternate values. For example, the default TYPE of "voice" can be
|
1617
|
+
reset to a VOICE and FAX telephone number by the value list
|
1618
|
+
TYPE="voice,fax".

6.5. Geographical Properties
|
1731
|
+
|
1732
|

These properties are concerned with information associated with
|
1733
|
+
geographical positions or regions associated with the object the
|
1734
|
+
vCard represents.

1735

|
1736
|
+
6.5.1. TZ
|
1737
|
+
|
1738
|

Purpose: To specify information related to the time zone of the

1739
|
+
object the vCard represents.
|
1740
|
+
|
1741
|
+
Value type: The default is a single text value. It can also be
|
1742
|
+
reset to a single URI or utc-offset value.

Cardinality: *

1746
|

Special notes: It is expected that names from the public-domain
|
1747
|
+
Olson database [TZ-DB] will be used, but this is not a
|
1748
|
+
restriction. See also [IANA-TZ].
|
1749
|
+
|
1750
|
+
Efforts are currently being directed at creating a standard URI
|
1751
|
+
scheme for expressing time zone information. Usage of such a
|
1752
|
+
scheme would ensure a high level of interoperability between
|
1753
|
+
implementations that support it.
|
1754
|
+
|
1755
|
+
Note that utc-offset values SHOULD NOT be used because the UTC
|
1756
|
+
offset varies with time -- not just because of the usual daylight
|
1757
|
+
saving time shifts that occur in may regions, but often entire
|
1758
|
+
regions will "re-base" their overall offset. The actual offset
|
1759
|
+
may be +/- 1 hour (or perhaps a little more) than the one given.

|
+
extended. Non-standard, private properties and parameters with a
|
2369
|
+
name starting with "X-" may be defined bilaterally between two

7. Synchronization
|
2373
|
+
|
2374
|
+
vCard data often needs to be synchronized between devices. In this
|
2375
|
+
context, synchronization is defined as the intelligent merging of two
|
2376
|
+
representations of the same object. vCard 4.0 includes mechanisms to
|
2377
|

7.1. Mechanisms
|
2380
|
+
|
2381
|
+
Two mechanisms are available: the UID property is used to match
|
2382
|
+
multiple instances of the same vCard, while the PID parameter is used
|
2383
|
+
to match multiple instances of the same property.
|
2384
|
+
|
2385
|
+
The term "matching" is used here to mean recognizing that two
|
2386
|
+
instances are in fact representations of the same object. For
|
2387
|
+
example, a single vCard that is shared with someone results in two
|
2388
|
+
vCard instances. After they have evolved separately, they still
|
2389
|
+
represent the same object, and therefore may be matched by a
|
2390
|
+
synchronization engine.
|
2391
|
+
|
2392
|
+
7.1.1. Matching vCard Instances
|
2393
|
+
|
2394
|
+
vCard instances for which the UID properties (Section 6.7.6) are
|
2395
|
+
equivalent MUST be matched. Equivalence is determined as specified
|
2396
|
+
in [RFC3986], Section 6.
|
2397
|
+
|
2398
|
+
In all other cases, vCard instances MAY be matched at the discretion
|
2399
|
+
of the synchronization engine.
|
2400
|
+
|
2401
|
+
7.1.2. Matching Property Instances
|
2402
|
+
|
2403
|
+
Property instances belonging to unmatched vCards MUST NOT be matched.
|
2404
|
+
|
2405
|
+
Property instances whose name (e.g., EMAIL, TEL, etc.) is not the
|
2406
|
+
same MUST NOT be matched.
|
2407
|
+
|
2408
|
+
Property instances whose name is CLIENTPIDMAP are handled separately
|
2409
|
+
and MUST NOT be matched. The synchronization MUST ensure that there
|
2410
|
+
is consistency of CLIENTPIDMAPs among matched vCard instances.
|
2411
|
+
|
2412
|
+
Property instances belonging to matched vCards, whose name is the
|
2413
|
+
same, and whose maximum cardinality is 1, MUST be matched.
|
2414
|
+
|
2415
|
+
Property instances belonging to matched vCards, whose name is the
|
2416
|
+
same, and whose PID parameters match, MUST be matched. See
|
2417
|
+
Section 7.1.3 for details on PID matching.
|
2418
|
+
|
2419
|
+
In all other cases, property instances MAY be matched at the
|
2420
|
+
discretion of the synchronization engine.
|
2421
|
+
|
2422
|
+
7.1.3. PID Matching
|
2423
|
+
|
2424
|
+
Two PID values for which the first fields are equivalent represent
|
2425
|
+
the same local value.
|
2426
|
+
|
2427
|
+
Two PID values representing the same local value and for which the
|
2428
|
+
second fields point to CLIENTPIDMAP properties whose second field
|
2429
|
+
URIs are equivalent (as specified in [RFC3986], Section 6) also
|
2430
|
+
represent the same global value.
|
2431
|
+
|
2432
|
+
PID parameters for which at least one pair of their values represent
|
2433
|
+
the same global value MUST be matched.
|
2434
|
+
|
2435
|
+
In all other cases, PID parameters MAY be matched at the discretion
|
2436
|
+
of the synchronization engine.
|
2437
|
+
|
2438
|
+
For example, PID value "5.1", in the first vCard below, and PID value
|
2439
|
+
"5.2", in the second vCard below, represent the same global value.

7.2. Example
|
2456
|
+
|
2457
|
+
7.2.1. Creation
|
2458
|
+
|
2459
|
+
The following simple vCard is first created on a given device.
|
2460
|
+
|
2461
|
+
BEGIN:VCARD
|
2462
|
+
VERSION:4.0
|
2463
|
+
UID:urn:uuid:4fbe8971-0bc3-424c-9c26-36c3e1eff6b1
|
2464
|
+
FN;PID=1.1:J. Doe
|
2465
|
+
N:Doe;J.;;;
|
2466
|
+
EMAIL;PID=1.1:jdoe@example.com
|
2467
|
+
CLIENTPIDMAP:1;urn:uuid:53e374d9-337e-4727-8803-a1e9c14e0556
|
2468
|
+
END:VCARD
|
2469
|
+
|
2470
|
+
This new vCard is assigned the UID
|
2471
|
+
"urn:uuid:4fbe8971-0bc3-424c-9c26-36c3e1eff6b1" by the creating
|
2472
|
+
device. The FN and EMAIL properties are assigned the same local
|
2473
|
+
value of 1, and this value is given global context by associating it
|
2474
|
+
with "urn:uuid:53e374d9-337e-4727-8803-a1e9c14e0556", which
|
2475
|
+
represents the creating device. We are at liberty to reuse the same
|
2476
|
+
local value since instances of different properties will never be
|
2477
|
+
matched. The N property has no PID because it is forbidden by its
|
2478
|
+
maximum cardinality of 1.
|
2479
|
+
|
2480
|
+
7.2.2. Initial Sharing
|
2481
|
+
|
2482
|
+
This vCard is shared with a second device. Upon inspecting the UID
|
2483
|
+
property, the second device understands that this is a new vCard
|
2484
|
+
(i.e., unmatched) and thus the synchronization results in a simple
|
2485
|
+
copy.
|
2486
|
+
|
2487
|
+
7.2.3. Adding and Sharing a Property
|
2488
|
+
|
2489
|
+
A new phone number is created on the first device, then the vCard is
|
2490
|
+
shared with the second device. This is what the second device
|
2491
|
+
receives:
|
2492
|
+
|
2493
|
+

2496
|
+
FN;PID=1.1:J. Doe
|
2497
|
+
N:Doe;J.;;;
|
2498

|
2501
|
+
END:VCARD
|
2502
|
+
|
2503
|
+
Upon inspecting the UID property, the second device matches the vCard
|
2504
|
+
it received to the vCard that it already has stored. It then starts
|
2505
|
+
comparing the properties of the two vCards in same-named pairs.
|
2506
|
+
|
2507
|
+
The FN properties are matched because the PID parameters have the
|
2508
|
+
same global value. Since the property value is the same, no update
|
2509
|
+
takes place.
|
2510
|
+
|
2511
|
+
The N properties are matched automatically because their maximum
|
2512
|
+
cardinality is 1. Since the property value is the same, no update
|
2513
|
+
takes place.
|
2514
|
+
|
2515
|
+
The EMAIL properties are matched because the PID parameters have the
|
2516
|
+
same global value. Since the property value is the same, no update
|
2517
|
+
takes place.
|
2518
|
+
|
2519
|
+
The TEL property in the new vCard is not matched to any in the stored
|
2520
|
+
vCard because no property in the stored vCard has the same name.
|
2521
|
+
Therefore, this property is copied from the new vCard to the stored
|
2522
|
+
vCard.
|
2523
|
+
|
2524
|
+
The CLIENTPIDMAP property is handled separately by the
|
2525
|
+
synchronization engine. It ensures that it is consistent with the
|
2526
|
+
stored one. If it was not, the results would be up to the
|
2527
|
+
synchronization engine, and thus undefined by this document.
|
2528
|
+
|
2529
|
+
7.2.4. Simultaneous Editing
|
2530
|
+
|
2531
|
+
A new email address and a new phone number are added to the vCard on
|
2532
|
+
each of the two devices, and then a new synchronization event
|
2533
|
+
happens. Here are the vCards that are communicated to each other:

|
+
On the first device, the same PID source identifier (1) is reused for
|
2561
|
+
the new EMAIL and TEL properties. On the second device, a new source
|
2562
|
+
identifier (2) is generated, and a corresponding CLIENTPIDMAP
|
2563
|
+
property is created. It contains the second device's identifier,
|
2564
|
+
"urn:uuid:1f762d2b-03c4-4a83-9a03-75ff658a6eee".
|
2565
|
+
|
2566
|
+
The new EMAIL properties are unmatched on both sides since the PID
|
2567
|
+
global value is new in both cases. The sync thus results in a copy
|
2568
|
+
on both sides.
|
2569
|
+
|
2570
|
+
Although the situation appears to be the same for the TEL properties,
|
2571
|
+
in this case, the synchronization engine is particularly smart and
|
2572
|
+
matches the two new TEL properties even though their PID global
|
2573
|
+
values are different. Note that in this case, the rules of
|
2574
|
+
Section 7.1.2 state that two properties MAY be matched at the
|
2575
|
+
discretion of the synchronization engine. Therefore, the two
|
2576
|
+
properties are merged.
|
2577
|
+
|
2578
|
+
All this results in the following vCard, which is stored on both
|
2579
|

devices:

7.2.5. Global Context Simplification
|
2596
|
+
|
2597
|
+
The two devices finish their synchronization procedure by simplifying
|
2598
|
+
their global contexts. Since they haven't talked to any other
|
2599
|
+
device, the following vCard is for all purposes equivalent to the

9. Security Considerations
|
2646
|
+
|
2647
|
+
o Internet mail is often used to transport vCards and is subject to
|
2648
|
+
many well-known security attacks, including monitoring, replay,
|
2649
|
+
and forgery. Care should be taken by any directory service in
|
2650
|
+
allowing information to leave the scope of the service itself,
|
2651
|
+
where any access controls or confidentiality can no longer be
|
2652
|
+
guaranteed. Applications should also take care to display
|
2653
|
+
directory data in a "safe" environment.
|
2654
|
+
|
2655
|
+
o vCards can carry cryptographic keys or certificates, as described
|
2656
|
+
in Section 6.8.1.
|
2657
|
+
|
2658
|
+
o vCards often carry information that can be sensitive (e.g.,
|
2659
|
+
birthday, address, and phone information). Although vCards have
|
2660
|
+
no inherent authentication or confidentiality provisions, they can
|
2661
|
+
easily be carried by any security mechanism that transfers MIME
|
2662
|
+
objects to address authentication or confidentiality (e.g., S/MIME
|
2663
|
+
[RFC5751], OpenPGP [RFC4880]). In cases where the confidentiality
|
2664
|
+
or authenticity of information contained in vCard is a concern,
|
2665
|
+
the vCard SHOULD be transported using one of these secure
|
2666
|
+
mechanisms. The KEY property (Section 6.8.1) can be used to
|
2667
|
+
transport the public key used by these mechanisms.
|
2668
|
+
|
2669
|
+
o The information in a vCard may become out of date. In cases where
|
2670
|
+
the vitality of data is important to an originator of a vCard, the
|
2671
|
+
SOURCE property (Section 6.1.3) SHOULD be specified. In addition,
|
2672
|
+
the "REV" type described in Section 6.7.4 can be specified to
|
2673
|
+
indicate the last time that the vCard data was updated.
|
2674
|
+
|
2675
|
+
o Many vCard properties may be used to transport URIs. Please refer
|
2676
|
+
to [RFC3986], Section 7, for considerations related to URIs.

10. IANA Considerations
|
2679
|
+
|
2680
|
+
10.1. Media Type Registration
|
2681
|
+
|
2682
|
+
IANA has registered the following Media Type (in
|
2683
|
+
<http://www.iana.org/>) and marked the text/directory Media Type as
|
2684
|
+
DEPRECATED.
|
2685
|
+
|
2686
|
+
To: ietf-types@iana.org
|
2687
|
+
|
2688
|
+
Subject: Registration of media type text/vcard
|
2689
|
+
|
2690
|
+
Type name: text
|
2691
|
+
|
2692
|
+
Subtype name: vcard
|
2693
|
+
|
2694
|
+
Required parameters: none
|
2695
|
+
|
2696
|
+
Optional parameters: version
|
2697
|
+
|
2698
|
+
The "version" parameter is to be interpreted identically as the
|
2699
|
+
VERSION vCard property. If this parameter is present, all vCards
|
2700
|
+
in a text/vcard body part MUST have a VERSION property with value
|
2701
|
+
identical to that of this MIME parameter.
|
2702
|
+
|
2703
|
+
"charset": as defined for text/plain [RFC2046]; encodings other
|
2704
|
+
than UTF-8 [RFC3629] MUST NOT be used.
|
2705
|
+
|
2706
|
+
Encoding considerations: 8bit
|
2707
|
+
|
2708
|
+
Security considerations: See Section 9.
|
2709
|
+
|
2710
|
+
Interoperability considerations: The text/vcard media type is
|
2711
|
+
intended to identify vCard data of any version. There are older
|
2712
|
+
specifications of vCard [RFC2426][vCard21] still in common use.
|
2713
|
+
While these formats are similar, they are not strictly compatible.
|
2714
|
+
In general, it is necessary to inspect the value of the VERSION
|
2715
|
+
property (see Section 6.7.9) for identifying the standard to which
|
2716
|
+
a given vCard object conforms.
|
2717
|
+
|
2718
|
+
In addition, the following media types are known to have been used
|
2719
|
+
to refer to vCard data. They should be considered deprecated in
|
2720
|
+
favor of text/vcard.
|
2721
|
+
|
2722
|
+

10.2. Registering New vCard Elements
|
2753
|
+
|
2754
|
+
This section defines the process for registering new or modified
|
2755
|
+
vCard elements (i.e., properties, parameters, value data types, and
|
2756
|
+
values) with IANA.
|
2757
|
+
|
2758
|
+
10.2.1. Registration Procedure
|
2759
|
+
|
2760
|
+
The IETF has created a mailing list, vcarddav@ietf.org, which can be
|
2761
|
+
used for public discussion of vCard element proposals prior to
|
2762
|
+
registration. Use of the mailing list is strongly encouraged. The
|
2763
|
+
IESG has appointed a designated expert who will monitor the
|
2764
|
+
vcarddav@ietf.org mailing list and review registrations.
|
2765
|
+
|
2766
|
+
Registration of new vCard elements MUST be reviewed by the designated
|
2767
|
+
expert and published in an RFC. A Standards Track RFC is REQUIRED
|
2768
|
+
for the registration of new value data types that modify existing
|
2769
|
+
properties. A Standards Track RFC is also REQUIRED for registration
|
2770
|
+
of vCard elements that modify vCard elements previously documented in
|
2771
|
+
a Standards Track RFC.
|
2772
|
+
|
2773
|
+
The registration procedure begins when a completed registration
|
2774
|
+
template, defined in the sections below, is sent to vcarddav@ietf.org
|
2775
|
+
and iana@iana.org. Within two weeks, the designated expert is
|
2776
|
+
expected to tell IANA and the submitter of the registration whether
|
2777
|
+
the registration is approved, approved with minor changes, or
|
2778
|
+
rejected with cause. When a registration is rejected with cause, it
|
2779
|
+
can be re-submitted if the concerns listed in the cause are
|
2780
|
+
addressed. Decisions made by the designated expert can be appealed
|
2781
|
+
to the IESG Applications Area Director, then to the IESG. They
|
2782
|
+
follow the normal appeals procedure for IESG decisions.
|
2783
|
+
|
2784
|
+
Once the registration procedure concludes successfully, IANA creates
|
2785
|
+
or modifies the corresponding record in the vCard registry. The
|
2786
|
+
completed registration template is discarded.
|
2787
|
+
|
2788
|
+
An RFC specifying new vCard elements MUST include the completed
|
2789
|
+
registration templates, which MAY be expanded with additional
|
2790
|
+
information. These completed templates are intended to go in the
|
2791
|
+
body of the document, not in the IANA Considerations section.
|
2792
|
+
|
2793
|
+
Finally, note that there is an XML representation for vCard defined
|
2794
|
+
in [RFC6351]. An XML representation SHOULD be defined for new vCard
|
2795
|
+
elements.
|
2796
|
+
|
2797
|
+
10.2.2. Vendor Namespace
|
2798
|
+
|
2799
|
+
The vendor namespace is used for vCard elements associated with
|
2800
|
+
commercially available products. "Vendor" or "producer" are
|
2801
|
+
construed as equivalent and very broadly in this context.
|
2802
|
+
|
2803
|
+
A registration may be placed in the vendor namespace by anyone who
|
2804
|
+
needs to interchange files associated with the particular product.
|
2805
|
+
However, the registration formally belongs to the vendor or
|
2806
|
+
organization handling the vCard elements in the namespace being
|
2807
|
+
registered. Changes to the specification will be made at their
|
2808
|
+
request, as discussed in subsequent sections.
|
2809
|
+
|
2810
|
+
vCard elements belonging to the vendor namespace will be
|
2811
|
+
distinguished by the "VND-" prefix. This is followed by an IANA-
|
2812
|
+
registered Private Enterprise Number (PEN), a dash, and a vCard
|
2813
|
+
element designation of the vendor's choosing (e.g., "VND-123456-
|
2814
|
+
MUDPIE").
|
2815
|
+
|
2816
|
+
While public exposure and review of vCard elements to be registered
|
2817
|
+
in the vendor namespace are not required, using the vcarddav@ietf.org
|
2818
|
+
mailing list for review is strongly encouraged to improve the quality
|
2819
|
+
of those specifications. Registrations in the vendor namespace may
|
2820
|
+
be submitted directly to the IANA.
|
2821
|
+
|
2822
|
+
10.2.3. Registration Template for Properties
|
2823
|
+
|
2824
|
+
A property is defined by completing the following template.
|
2825
|
+
|
2826
|
+
Namespace: Empty for the global namespace, "VND-NNNN-" for a vendor-
|

2829
|
+
Property name: The name of the property.
|
2830
|
+

2834
|
+
Value type: Any of the valid value types for the property value
|
2835
|
+
needs to be specified. The default value type also needs to be

Description: Any special notes about the property, how it is to be
|
2844
|
+
used, etc.
|
2845
|
+
|
2846
|
+
Format definition: The ABNF for the property definition needs to be
|
2847
|
+
specified.
|
2848
|
+
|
2849
|
+

|
2850
|
+
to be specified.
|
2851
|
+
|
2852
|
+
10.2.4. Registration Template for Parameters

2853
|
+
|
2854
|
+
A parameter is defined by completing the following template.
|
2855
|
+
|
2856
|
+
Namespace: Empty for the global namespace, "VND-NNNN-" for a vendor-
|
2857
|
+
specific property (where NNNN is replaced by the vendor's PEN).
|
2858
|
+
|
2859
|
+

|
2865
|
+
used, etc.
|
2866
|
+
|
2867
|
+
Format definition: The ABNF for the parameter definition needs to be
|
2868
|
+
specified.
|
2869
|
+
|
2870
|
+

|
2871
|
+
to be specified.
|
2872
|
+
|
2873
|
+
10.2.5. Registration Template for Value Data Types
|
2874
|
+
|
2875
|
+
A value data type is defined by completing the following template.
|
2876
|
+
|
2877
|
+
Value name: The name of the value type.
|
2878
|
+
|
2879
|
+
Purpose: The purpose of the value type. Give a short but clear
|
2880
|
+
description.
|
2881
|
+
|
2882
|
+
Description: Any special notes about the value type, how it is to be
|
2883
|
+
used, etc.
|
2884
|
+
|
2885
|
+
Format definition: The ABNF for the value type definition needs to
|
2886
|
+
be specified.
|
2887
|
+
|
2888
|
+
Example(s): One or more examples of instances of the value type need
|
2889
|
+
to be specified.
|
2890
|
+
|
2891
|
+
10.2.6. Registration Template for Values
|
2892
|
+
|
2893
|
+
A value is defined by completing the following template.
|
2894
|
+
|
2895
|
+
Value: The value literal.
|
2896
|
+
|
2897
|
+
Purpose: The purpose of the value. Give a short but clear
|
2898
|
+
description.
|
2899
|
+
|
2900
|
+
Conformance: The vCard properties and/or parameters that can take
|
2901
|
+
this value needs to be specified.
|
2902
|
+
|
2903
|
+
Example(s): One or more examples of instances of the value need to
|
2904
|
+
be specified.
|
2905
|
+
|
2906
|
+
The following is a fictitious example of a registration of a vCard
|
2907
|
+
value:
|
2908
|
+
|
2909
|
+
Value: supervisor
|
2910
|
+
|
2911
|
+
Purpose: It means that the related entity is the direct hierarchical
|
2912
|
+
superior (i.e., supervisor or manager) of the entity this vCard
|
2913
|
+
represents.
|
2914
|
+
|
2915
|
+
Conformance: This value can be used with the "TYPE" parameter
|
2916
|
+
applied on the "RELATED" property.
|
2917
|
+
|
2918
|
+
Example(s):
|
2919
|
+
|
2920
|
+
RELATED;TYPE=supervisor:urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6

|
+
10.3. Initial vCard Elements Registries
|
2923
|
+
|
2924
|
+
The IANA has created and will maintain the following registries for
|
2925
|
+
vCard elements with pointers to appropriate reference documents. The
|
2926
|
+
registries are grouped together under the heading "vCard Elements".
|
2927
|
+
|
2928
|
+
10.3.1. Properties Registry
|
2929
|
+
|
2930
|
