Abstract
Web feeds (hereby referred to as 'feed') have always played an important role in providing users content related updates of Websites without having to visit those websites manually. Typical examples of feed usage include users 'subscribing' to the feed of a website (example, CNN.com) and thereby automatically receiving 'news headlines' when the content changes. Recently, there have been significant innovations (example [13][12]) where feeds from different sources have been combined to produce new services in a 'Web Based Service Creation Environment' model allowing users to create interesting services building on top of 'primitives' that can be represented on the Web. This document describes the motivation for a feed for Presence information, which the authors believe would be useful to create new services using a similar environment described above. NOTE 1: Architecturally, it is also possible that the reverse situation, i.e. feed converted to a Presence state is also useful, typically for services that could be triggered at the Presentity based on certain conditions. However, this document focuses on the former, i.e. Presence state to feed. NOTE 2: It is not necessary that each PUA support the capability of generating feeds. It is possible that a central aggregation server generates the required feed on behalf of the PUAs.
