Abstract

   "A Framework and Data Model for Centralized Conferencing" defines a
   model whereby client intereaction is required for creation, deletion,
   and manipulation of a conference, as well as querying the state of a
   conference.  The Centralized Conferencing Manipulation Protocol
   (CCMP) defined in this document provides the appropriate mechanisms
   for these protocol interactions.  CCMP is based on the Simple Object
   Access Protocol (SOAP), with the data necessary for the interactions

Internet-Draft                    CCMP                         June 2006


1.  Introduction

   The Framework and Data Model for Centralized Conferencing [6] defines
   a signaling agnostic data model, naming conventions and logical
   entities required for constructing advanced conferencing systems.  A
   primary concept introduced in the framework and data model for
   centralized conferencing is the existence of a conference object.
   The conference object is a logical representation of a conference
   instance, which represents the current state and capabilities of a
   conference.

   It is the purpose of this document to allow the manipulation of a
   conference object by authenticated and authorized clients.  This is
   achieved using an appropriate client-server Remote Procedure Call
   (RPC) mechanism.  In this document the Simple Object Access Protocol
   (SOAP) has been chosen to carry out the appropriate client-server
   protocol transactions.

   The common information contained in all conference objects is defined
   using an XML representation such as the one introduced in Conference
   Package [7] and 'A Common Conference Information  Data Model for
   Centralized Conferencing' [9].  These data structures are used as the
   basis for the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) [3] definition
   and XML schema.

   This document first provides an overview of the protocol operations
   in Section 5, followed by a system architecture in Section 6.  The
   detailed potocol operation information is provided in Section 8.  An
   XML schema is provided in Section 9.  WSDL information is detailed in
   Section 10 and some example interactions in Section 11.


2.  Conventions

   In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED",
   "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT
   RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as
   described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [1] and indicate requirement levels for
   compliant implementations.


3.  Terminology

   This document reuses the terminology defined in the framework and
   data model for centralized conferencing [6].  In addition, the
   following acronyms and terms are used in this document:

   SOAP: Simple Object Access Protocol.
   WSDL: Web Services Description Language.  WSDL is an XML format for
      describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on
      messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented
      information.
   W3C: World Wide Web Consortium.  The organization that developed the
      SOAP and WSDL specifications referenced within this document.


4.  Motivation

   SOAP is chosen as the RPC mechanism due to its compatibility with the
   requirements for the conference control protocol as introduced in the
   framework and data model for centralized conferencing.  SOAP is a
   lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralized,
   distributed environment.  It is an XML based protocol that consists
   of three parts: an envelope that defines a framework for describing
   what is in a message and how to process it, a set of encoding rules
   for expressing instances of application-defined datatypes, and a
   convention for representing remote procedure calls and responses.
   SOAP can be used with a variety of transport protocols.  For the
   purposes of its role in providing the basis for the conference
   control protocol, HTTP is the chosen transport.  The advantages of
   the use of SOAP as the basis for the conference control protocol are
   deemed to be the re-use of existing standards, the ease of software
   development, the availability of tools, and the ease of integration
   with deployed systems.

   WSDL is a natural fit for specifying the content of the conference
   control protocol messages.  WSDL is an XML format for describing
   network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages
   containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented
   information.  The operations and messages are described abstractly,
   and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to
   define an endpoint.  Related concrete endpoints are combined into
   abstract endpoints (services).  WSDL is extensible to allow
   description of endpoints and their messages regardless of what
   message formats or network protocols are used to communicate,
   however, the only bindings described in this document describe how to
   use WSDL in conjunction with SOAP.

   [Editor's note: the current content of this document is very
   incomplete.  This document can very easily be combined with [10] as a
   starting point for a very comprehensive document once the XCON WG
   agrees on the fundamental verbs and nouns (and required level of
   granularity) for the protocol. ]

5.  Overview of Operation

   The primary function of this document is to provide a conference
   control client with the ability to carry out specific operations on a
   conference object.  As mentioned previously, SOAP is used as the the
   XML RPC mechanism to fulfill such operations.

   A conference control client wishing to carry out operations on a
   particular conference object follows a series of steps as detailed in
   the following sections.

5.1.  Identifying a Conference Instance

   For any operation that is to be carried out on an existing conference
   object, a unique identifier is required.  The framework and data
   model for centralized conferencing [6] defines the appropriate
   conference object identifier.

   [Editors Note: Requests using this mechanism need to convey the
   appropriate conference instance identifier as defined in the XCON
   Framework.  This will be included in later versions of this
   document.]

   Operations can be initiated from a conference control client for the
   purpose of creating a conference object.  To achieve this, an
   operation is executed without specifying a unique conference object
   identifier.  If the operation is successful, the unique conference
   object identifier be included in the SOAP response transaction.

   [Editors Note: More detail to be provided.  Again, need to discuss
   inclusion of conference identifier]

5.2.  Constructing a CCMP request

   The construction of the SOAP envelope associated with a conference
   control request message complies fully with the WSDL, as defined in
   Section 10.  Construction of a valid conference control protocol
   message includes the options, discussed in the following sections,
   depending upon the function and associated information desired by the
   conference control client.

5.2.1.  Query Blueprints

   The Query Blueprints operation is used by a client to query a system
   for its capabilities.  These capabilities are represented by
   blueprints, as specified in [6].  The blueprints are comprised of
   common conference information initialized to specific values and
   ranges, and typically a single template for specifying media

Internet-Draft                    CCMP                         June 2006


   characteristics, etc.

5.2.2.  Get Template

   The Get Template operation is used by a client to query a system for
   a specific template.  The templates are either included in the
   blueprint by-value or by-reference.  In the case of by-reference, a
   client may need to obtain any new template that it has not previously
   used for that system.

5.2.3.  Create a Conference Object (Explicitly)

   This conference control operation is used by a client to create and
   reserve a conference object for that system based upon a specific
   blueprint.

5.2.4.  Create a Conference Object (Implicitly)

   This conference control operation is used by a client to construct a
   request to create a conference without providing a conference object
   based on a specific blueprint.  This results in the creation and
   reservation of an instance of the default conference object.  The
   default conference object is specific to a conferencing system and
   its specification is outside the scope of this document.

5.2.5.  Manipulate a Conference Object

   During the lifetime of a conference, this conference control
   operation is used by a conference control client to manipulate a
   conference object.  This includes the ability to pass relevant
   fragments of the conference object along with relevant operation
   types (add, delete, modify, etc.).

5.2.6.  Query Conference Object

   This conference control operation is used to retrieve the current
   representation of a conference object and requires the unique
   conference identifier be provided by the client, as discussed in
   Section 5.1.

5.2.7.  Delete Conference Object

   This conference control operation is used to delete the current
   representation of a conference object and requires the unique
   conference identifier be provided by the client, as discussed in
   Section 5.1.

   Further details of these operations is provided in Section 8

Internet-Draft                    CCMP                         June 2006


5.3.  Sending a CCMP Request

   A constructed CCMP message that is compliant to the SOAP WSDL is then
   ready to be executed using appropriate protocol operations.  Detail
   describing the protocol operations can be found in Section 8.

   [Editors Note: It is fully expected that the Operations will involve
   asynchronous transactions.  This section will be expanded at a later
   date to allow synchronous transactions. ].


6.  System Architecture

   CCMP supports the framework and data model for centralized
   conferencing [6].  Figure 1 depicts a subset of the 'Conferencing
   System Logical Decomposition' architecture from the framework and
   data model for centralized conferencing document.  It illustrates the
   role that CCMP assumes within the overall centralized architecture.

7.  Transaction Model

   The transaction model for CCMP complies fully with SOAP version 1.2
   as defined by W3C in [ref].


8.  Protocol Operations

   This section provides descriptive text for the basic protocol
   operations for CCMP.  A conference control client and conference
   control server MUST provide the ability to action all of the protocol
   operations in this section and MUST fully implement the SOAP WSDL
   schema defined in Section 10 which uses HTTP operations as the
   transport mechanism.  The following sections provide more detail on
   specific protocol operations.
