Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


1.  Introduction

   There is a core data set of conference information that is utilized
   in any conference, independent of the specific conference media.
   This core data set called the 'conference information data model' is
   defined in this document using an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-
   based.  The conference information data model defined in this
   document is logically represented by the conference object.

   Conference objects are a fundamental concept in Centralized
   Conferencing, as described in the Centralized Conferencing Framework
   [4].  A conference object contains data that represents a conference
   during each of its various stages (e.g., created/creation, reserved/
   reservation, active/activation, completed/completion).  A conference
   object can be manipulated using a conference control protocol at a
   conference server.  The conference object represents a particular
   instantiation of a conference information data model.  Consequently,
   conference objects follow the XML format defined in this document.

   A conference object contains the core information of a conference
   (i.e., capabilities, membership, call control signaling, media, etc.)
   and specifies who, and in which way that information can be
   manipulated.

   Figure 1 shows the logical functional elements of a conference server
   as defined by the Centralized Conferencing Framework [4].  They are a
   Conference Control Server, a Floor Control Server, a number of Foci,
   and a Notification Service.  A conference control protocol provides
   the interface between a conference control client and the conference
   control server.  A floor control protocol (e.g., BFCP [5]) provides
   the interface between a floor control client and the floor control
   server.  A call signaling protocol (e.g., SIP, H.323, Q.931, ISUP,
   etc.) provides the interface between a call signaling client and a
   Focus.  A notification protocol (e.g., SIP-based event notifications
   [6]) provides the interface between the conferencing client and the
   Notification Service.  Within a conference, the conference control
   server, floor control server, and focus can modify the information in
   the conference object.

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Package for Conference
   State, specified in RFC4575 [1], already defines a data format for
   conferences.  However, that model is SIP specific and lacks elements
   related to some of the functionality defined by the Centralized
   Conferencing Framework [4] (e.g., floor control).  The data model
   defined in this document constitutes a superset of the data format
   defined in RFC4575 [1].  The result is a data format that supports
   more call signaling protocols besides SIP and that covers all the
   functionality defined in the Centralized Conferencing Framework [4].


2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 [2].

   This document uses the terminology defined in the Centralized
   Conferencing Framework [4], the SIPPING conferencing framework [7]
   and the BFCP (Binary Floor Control Protocol) specification [5].
   Readers of this document should be familiar with the terminology used
   in those documents.


3.  Overview

   The data model specified in this document is the result of extending
   the data format defined in RFC4575 [1] with new elements.  Examples
   of such extensions include scheduling elements, media control
   elements, floor control elements, non-SIP URIs, and addition of
   localization extensions to text elements.  This data model can be
   used by conference servers providing different types of basic
   conferences.  It is expected that this data model can be further
   extended with new elements in the future in order to implement
   additional advanced features.

3.1.  Data Model Format

   A conference object document is an XML [8] document that MUST be well
   formed and SHOULD be valid.  Conference object documents MUST be
   based on XML 1.0 and SHOULD be encoded using UTF-8.

3.2.  Data Model Namespace

   This specification defines a new namespace specification for
   identifying the elements defined in the data model.  This namespace
   is as follows:

   urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xcon-conference-info

3.3.  The Conference Object Identifier

   The conference object identifier (XCON-URI) can be viewed as a key to
   accessing a specific conference object.  It can be used, for
   instance, by the conference control protocol to access, manipulate
   and delete a conference object.  A conference object identifier is
   provided to the conferencing client by the conference notification
   service or through out-of-band mechanisms (e.g.  E-Mail).

   A conferencing system may maintain a relationship between the
   conference object identifiers and the identifiers associated with
   each of the complementary centralized conferencing protocols (e.g.,
   call signaling protocols, BFCP, etc.).  To facilitate the maintenance
   of these relationships, the conference object identifier acts as a
   top level identifier within the conferencing system for the purpose
   of identifying the interfaces for these other protocols.  This
   implicit binding provides a structured mapping of the various
   protocols with the associated conference object Identifier.  Figure 2
   illustrates the relationship between the identifiers used for the
   protocols and the general conference object identifier (XCON-URI).

                    Figure 2: Conference Object Mapping

   In Figure 2, the conference object identifier acts as the top level
   key in the identification process.  The call signaling protocols have
   an associated conference user identifier, often represented in the
   form of URIs.  The binary floor control protocol, as defined in [5],
   defines the 'conference ID' identifier which represents a conference
   instance within floor control.  When created within the conferencing
   system, the 'conference ID' has a 1:1 mapping to the unique
   conference object Identifier(XCON-URI).  Operations associated with
   the conference control protocols are directly associated with the
   conference object, thus the primary identifier associated with these
   protocols is the conference object identifier(XCON-URI).  The
   mappings between additional protocols/interface is not strictly 1:1
   and does allow for multiple occurrences.  For example, multiple call
   signaling protocols will each have a representation that is
   implicitly linked to the top level conference object identifier e.g.
   H323 and SIP URIs that represent a conference instance.  It should be
   noted that a conferencing system is free to structure such
   relationships as required and this information is just included as a
   guideline that can be used.

   Further elements can be added to the tree representation in Figure 2
   to enable a complete representation of a conference instance within a
   conferencing system.

3.4.  Data Model Structure

   The information in this data model is structured in the following
   manner.  All the information related to a conference is contained in
   a <conference-info> element.  The <conference-info> element contains
   the following child elements:

   o  The <conference-description> element describes the conference as a
      whole.  It has, for instance, information about the URI of the
      conference, maximum users allowed in the conference, media
      available in the conference, or the time the conference will
      start.
   o  The <host-info> element contains information about the entity
      hosting the conference (e.g., its URI).
   o  The <conference-state> element informs the subscribers about the
      changes in the overall conference information.
   o  The <floor-information> element contains information about the
      status of the different floors in the conference.
   o  The <users> element describes the membership information as a
      whole.  The <users> element contains a set of <user> child
      elements, each describing a single participant in the conference.

   o  If a participant in the main conference joins a sidebar, a new
      element is created in the conference referenced from the
      <sidebars-by-ref> element or under one of the <sidebars-by-val>
      elements.

   Note that some of the elements described above such <conference-
   info>, <conference-description>, <sidebars-by-ref>, or <sidebars-by-
   val> are not defined in the data model but are defined in the data
   format of RFC 4575 [1].  We describe them here because they are part
   of the basic structure of the data model.


4.  Data Model Definition

   The following non-normative diagram shows the structure of conference
   object documents.  The operator "!" preceding an element indicates
   that the element is mandatory in the data model.  The operator "*"
   following an element indicates that the element is introduced and
   defined in this document.  That is, elements without a "*" have
   already been defined in RFC 4575 [1].

   The following sections describe these elements in detail.  The full
   Relax NG schema is provided Section 5.

4.1.  <conference-info>

   A conference object document begins with the root element tag
   <conference-info>, which is defined in RFC4575 [1].  The <conference-
   info> attributes are described in RFC4575 [1].  Notice that the
   <conference-info> element does not have the attributes 'state' and
   'version' defined in RFC4575[1] for this element because this

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   attribute only applies to notifications mechanism.  RFC4575 [1]
   defines as well an 'entity' attribute that contains the conference
   object identifier (XCON-URI) that identifies the conference being
   described in the document.

   The <conference-info> element contains the <conference-description>,
   <host-info>, <conference-state>, <floor-information>, <users>,
   <sidebars-by-ref>, and <sidebars-by-val> child elements.  All these
   elements, except <floor-information>, are defined in [1].  A
   conference document MUST at least include the <conference-
   description> and <users> child elements.

4.2.  <conference-description>

   The <conference-description> element, which is defined in RFC4575
   [1], describes the conference as a whole.  It should have an extra
   attribute 'lang' to specify the language used in the contents of this
   element.  It is comprised of <display-text>, <subject>, <free-text>,
   <keywords>, <allow-sidebars>, <conference-time>, <conf-uris>,
   <service-uris>, <maximum-user-count>, and <available-media>.

   The following sections describe these elements in more detail.  Other
   child elements MAY be defined in the future to extend the
   <conference-description> element.

4.2.1.  <display-text>

   The <display-text> element is described in section 5.3 of RFC 4575
   [1].

4.2.2.  <subject>

   The <subject> element is described in section 5.3 of RFC 4575 [1].

4.2.3.  <free-text>

   The <free-text> element is described in section 5.3 of RFC 4575 [1].

4.2.4.  <keywords>

   The <keywords> element is described in section 5.3 of RFC 4575 [1].

4.2.5.  <allow-sidebars>

   The <allow-sidebars> element represents a boolean action.  If set to
   TRUE, the conference is allowed to create sidebar conferences.

4.2.6.  <conference-time>

   The <conference-time> element contains the information related to
   conference time and duration of a conference.  The <conference-time>
   element contains one or more <entry> elements each defining the time
   information specifying a single conference occurrence.

   Every <entry> element contains the following child elements:

   o  <base>: The <base> child element specifies the iCalendar object of
      the conference.  The iCalendar object components are defined in
      RFC 2445 [3].
   o  <mixing-start-offset>: The <mixing-start-offset> child element
      specifies when the conference media mixing starts before the
      conference starts.  The <mixing-start-offset> child element
      expresses the offset as signed integers representing seconds
      before/after the iCalendar DTSTART field [3].  If the <mixing-
      start-offset> element is not present, it indicates that the
      conference media mixing starts immediately.  The <mixing-start-
      offset> has the mandatory 'required-participant' attribute.  This
      attribute has one of 4 values: "none", "administrator",
      "moderator", and "participant".  This attribute allows a
      privileged user to define when media mixing starts based on the
      latter of the mixing start time, and the time the first
      participant, administrator, or moderator arrives.  If the value is
      set to "none'", mixing starts according to the mixing start time.
   o  <mixing-end-offset>: The <mixing-end-offset> child element that
      specifies the time a conference media mixing stops after the
      conference stops.  The <mixing-end-offset> child element expresses
      the offset as signed integers representing seconds before/after
      the iCalendar DTEND field [3].  If the <mixing-end-offset> element
      is not present, it indicates that the conference occurrence is not
      bounded.  The <mixing-end-offset> elements both have the mandatory
      'required-participant' attribute.  This attribute has one of 4
      values: "none", "administrator", "moderator", and "participant".
      This attribute allows a privileged user to define when media
      mixing ends based on the earlier of the <mixing-end-offset>, and
      the time the last participant, or moderator leaves.  If the value
      is set to "none", mixing stops according to the <mixing-end-
      offset>.  If the conference policy was modified so that last
      privileged user is now a normal conference participant, and the
      conference requires a privileged user to continue; that conference
      MUST terminate.
   o  <can-join-after-offset>: An administrator can indicate the time
      when users can join a conference by populating the <can-join-
      after-offset> element.

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   o  <must-join-before-offset>: An administrator can define the time
      after which new users are not allowed to join the conference
      anymore.  This is done by populating the <must-join-before-offset>
      element expressing the offset as signed integers representing
      seconds before/after DTSTART field.
   o  <request-user>: It is possible to define the time when users or
      resources on the <allowed-users-list> are requested to join the
      conference by using the <request-users> element.  This element
      expresses the offset as signed integers representing seconds
      before/after DTSTART field.
   o  <notify-end-of-conference>: The <notify-end-of-conference> element
      defines in seconds when the system has to send a notification when
      the end of the conference is approaching.  If the <notify-end-of-
      conference> element is not present, it indicates that the system
      does not notify the users when the end of the conference is
      approaching.  The <notify-end-of-conference> child element
      expresses the offset as signed integers representing seconds after
      DTSTART field.
   o  <allowed-extend-mixing-end-offset>: The <allowed-extend-mixing-
      end-offset> refers to the possibility to extend the conference.
      It has a boolean value.

4.2.7.  <conf-uris>

   The <conf-uris> contains the identifiers to be used in order to
   access the conference by different signaling means.  The <conf-uris>
   element is described in section 5.3.1 of RFC 4575[1].  Future
   extensions to this schema may define new values and register them
   with IANA.

4.2.8.  <service-uris>

   The <service-uris> describes auxiliary services available for the
   conference.  The <service-uris> element is described in section 5.3.2
   of RFC4575[1].  Future extensions to this schema may define new
   values and register them with IANA.

4.2.9.  <maximum-user-count>

   The <maximum-user-count> contains the overall number of users allowed
   to join the conference.  Note that this value is set by an
   administrator and can reflect any local policies such as network
   consumption, CPU processing power, and licensing rules.

4.2.10.  <available-media>

   The <available-media> has the 'label' attribute that is the media
   stream identifier assigned by the conferencing server.  The attribute

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   'label' is described in RFC 4575 [1], section 5.3.4.  The <available-
   media> element contains a sequence of <entry> child elements.  Each
   <entry> element contains the following child elements:

   o  The <type> element is described in section 5.3.4 of RFC 4575 [1].
   o  The <display-text> element is described in section 5.3.4 of RFC
      4575 [1].
   o  The <status> element is described in section 5.3.4 of RFC 4575
      [1].
   o  The child element <mixing-mode> describes a default policy by
      which the mixer will build the outgoing stream from the incoming
      streams.  Notice that this policy is different than the policy
      describing the floors for each media.  The <mixing-mode> child
      element MUST contain one and only one of the "Moderator-
      controlled", "FCFS", and "Automatic" values indicating the default
      algorithm to use with every media stream.  The "Moderator-
      controlled" value indicates that the moderator of the conference,
      controls the media stream policy.  The "FCFS" value indicates a
      'first-come-first-served' policy.
   o  The <codecs> element specifies the allowed codecs in the
      conference.  It has an attribute 'decision' that specifies if the
      focus decides the common codec automatically or needs the approval
      of the moderator of the conference ("automatic", "moderator-
      controlled").  The <codecs> element contains <entry> elements.  A
      <entry> element can have the attribute 'name' and 'policy'.  The
      'name' attribute identifies a codec.  The list of possible codecs
      accepted as a 'name' attribute is defined by the IANA registry for
      RTP Payload Types.  The possible values of the attribute 'name'
      are the values of the 'subtype' column of the RTP Payload Format
      media types per RFC4855[9] defined in IANA [10].  The 'policy'
      attribute contains the policy for that codec (allowed, or
      disallowed).
   o  The <controls> element contains the basic audio and video global
      control elements for a conference.  It is expected that for the
      majority of the basic conferences, these controls are sufficient.
      If the conference server wants to support more advanced controls,
      then it is recommended that an extension to the data model be
      used.  In the <controls> element the schema is extensible, hence
      new control types can be added in the future.  So moderator
      controls that affect all media output would go under the
      <available-media> element.  The following controls elements are
      defined for <controls>:
      *  The <mute> element is used in conjunction with an audio stream
         to cease transmission of associated media.  That means that for
         the entire duration where mute is applicable, all current and
         future participants of the conference are muted and will not
         receive any audio.  It has a "boolean" value.  If this control
         is not specified, access to the control is not available to the

         client.
      *  The <pause-video> element is used in conjunction with a video
         stream to cease transmission of associated media.  It has a
         "boolean" value.  If this control is not specified, the access
         to the control is not available to the client.
      *  The <gain> element is used in conjunction with a media output
         stream to indicate the amount of amplification of an audio
         stream.  It has an "int" number value.  This control has two
         attributes that defines the minimum and maximum amplification
         levels: 'min' and 'max'.  If this control is not specified,
         access to the control is not available to the client.
      *  The <video-layout> element is used in conjunction with a video
         stream to specify how the video streams (of participants) are
         viewed by each participant.  Only one layout type can be
         specified for each output stream.  If there are fewer
         participants than panels in the specified layout, then blanking
         (black screen) MAY be mixed into the stream on the behalf of
         the missing input streams.  If unspecified, the <video-layout>
         default type SHOULD be "single-view".  The <layout> types are
         as follows, although any number of custom layouts may be
         specified in future extensions:
         +  single-view: Only one stream is presented by the focus to
            all participants in one panel.
         +  dual-view: This dual view option will present the video
            side-by-side in 2 panels and not alter the aspect ratio of
            the streams.  This will require the focus to introduce
            blanking on parts of the overall image as viewed by the
            participants.
         +  dual-view-crop: This side-by-side layout option instructs
            the focus to alter the aspect ratio of the streams (alter-
            aspect-ratio=TRUE) so that blanking is not necessary.  The
            focus handles the cropping of the streams.
         +  dual-view-2x1: This layout option instructs the focus to
            place one stream above the other, in essence with two rows
            and one column.  In this option the aspect ratio is not
            altered and blanking is introduced.
         +  dual-view-2x1-crop: This layout option also instructs the
            focus to place one stream above the other, in essence with
            two rows and one column.  In this option the aspect ratio is
            altered and the video streams are cropped.
         +  quad-view: Four equal-sized panels in a 2x2 layout is
            presented by the focus to all participants.  Typically the
            aspect ratio of the streams are maintained (alter-aspect-
            ratio= FALSE).
         +  multiple-3x3: Nine equal-sized panels in a 3x3 layout is
            presented by the focus to all participants.  Typically the
            aspect ratio of the streams are preserved.

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


         +  multiple-4x4: Sixteen equal-sized panels in a 4x4 layout is
            presented by the focus to all participants.  Typically the
            aspect ratio of the streams are preserved.
         +  multiple-5x1: This option refers to a 5x1 layout where one
            panel will occupy 4/9 of the mixed video stream while the
            others will each occupy 1/9 of the stream.  Typically the
            aspect ratio of the streams is preserved.
         +  automatic: This option allows the focus to add panels as
            streams are added.

4.3.  <host-info>

   The <host-info> element contains information about the entity hosting
   the conference.  This information is set before conference
   activation, and is rarely changed during the conference lifetime.
   The <host-info> element and its child elements are described in
   RFC4575[1], section 5.4.  Future extensions to the <host-info>
   element may define new values.

4.4.  <conference-state>

   The <conference-state> is introduced in RFC4575 [1].  The
   <conference-state> element contains the <allow-conference-event-
   subscription>, <user-count>, <active>, and <locked> child elements.

4.4.1.  <allow-conference-event-subscription>

   The <allow-conference-event-subscription> element represents a
   boolean action.  If set to TRUE, the focus is instructed to allow the
   subscription to conference state events, such as RFC4575 'SIP Event
   Package for Conference State' [1].  If set to FALSE, the subscription
   to conference state events would be rejected.  If this element is
   undefined it has a default value of TRUE, causing the subscription to
   conference state events to be accepted.

4.4.2.  <user-count>

   The <user-count> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1], section
   5.5.1.

4.4.3.  <active>

   The <active> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1], section
   5.5.2.

4.4.4.  <locked>

   The <locked> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1], section
   5.5.3.

4.5.  <floor-information>

   The <floor-information> element contains the <conference-ID>, <allow-
   floor-events>, <floor-request-handling>, and <conference-floor-
   policy> child elements.  Other elements from different namespaces MAY
   be present for the purposes of extensibility.  The absence of this
   element from an XML document indicates that the conference does not
   have a floor.

4.5.1.  <conference-ID>

   The <conference-ID> is a 32-bit BFCP conference identifier defined in
   RFC4582 [5] section 5.1. that identifies the BFCP conference the
   message belongs to.  This identifier represents a conference instance
   within floor control.  When created within the conferencing system,
   the 'conference-ID' has a 1:1 mapping to the unique conference object
   Identifier (XCON-URI).

4.5.2.  <allow-floor-events>

   The <allow-floor-events> element represents a boolean action.  If set
   to TRUE, the focus is instructed to accept the subscription to floor
   control events.  If set to FALSE, the focus is instructed to reject
   the subscription.  If this element is undefined, it has a default
   value of FALSE, causing the subscription to floor control events to
   be rejected.

   There are two methods which a conference participant subscribes
   himself to a floor control event.  One method is using an offer/
   answer exchange mechanism (RFC3264 [11]) using SIP INVITE and BFCP
   parameters in the SDP (RFC4583 [12]).  The other method is a general
   authorization mechanism described in section 9 of RFC4582 [5] and in
   RFC5018 [13].  Future documentation may define additional connection
   mechanisms.

4.5.3.  <floor-request-handling>

   The <floor-request-handling> element defines the actions used by the
   conference focus to control floor requests.  This element defines the
   action that the focus is to take when processing a particular request
   to a floor within a conference.  This element defines values of:

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   o  "block": This action instructs the focus to deny the floor
      request.  This action is the default action taken in the absence
      of any other actions.
   o  "confirm": This action instructs the focus to allow the request.
      The focus then uses the defined floor algorithm to further allow
      or deny the floor.  The algorithms used are outside the scope of
      this document.

   Note that this section discusses floor control information,
   therefore, the value "block" in a <floor-request-handling> element is
   not related with the "block" value in the <join-handling> element
   (see Section 4.6).

4.5.4.  <conference-floor-policy>

   The <conference-floor-policy> element is mandatory.  One or more
   <floor> elements can appear in the <conference-floor-policy> element.

   Each <floor> element has the following child elements:

   o  <media-label>: Every floor is identified for one or more mandatory
      <media-label> element.  If the <available-media> information is
      included in the conference document, the value of this element
      MUST be equal to the 'label' value of the corresponding media
      stream <entry> in the <available-media> container.  The number of
      those elements indicates how many floors the conference can have.
      A floor can be used for one or more media types;
   o  <algorithm>: A floor can be controlled using many algorithms; the
      mandatory <algorithm> element MUST be set to any of the
      "moderator-controlled", "FCFS" or "random" values indicating the
      algorithm.  The "Moderator-controlled" value indicates that the
      moderator of the conference controls the floor.  The "FCFS" value
      states for 'first-come-first-served' floor control.
   o  <max-floor-users>: The <max-floor-users> child element in the
      <floor> element is optional and, if present, dictates the maximum
      number of users who can have the floor at one time.
   o  <moderator-id>: The optional <moderator-id> indicates the 'User
      ID' of the moderator.  The 'User ID' is a BFCP identifier defined
      in RFC4582 [5] section 5.1.  It MUST be set if the element
      <algorithm> is set to "Moderator-controlled" value.  Note that
      RFC4582 [5] refers to the moderator role as a 'floor chair'.

4.6.  <users>

   The <users> element is described in RFC4575 [1] and contains the
   <join-handling>, <user-admission-policy>, and <allowed-users-list>
   defined in this document and <user> child elements defined in
   RFC4575[1].  Notice that the <users> element does not have the

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   attribute 'state' defined in RFC4575[1] for this element because this
   attribute only applies to notifications mechanism.  The following
   sections describe these elements in more detail.  Other child
   elements and attributes can be used to extend <users> in the future.

4.6.1.  <join-handling>

   The <join-handling> element defines the actions used by the
   conference focus to control conference participation.  This element
   defines the action that the focus is to take when processing a
   particular request to join a conference.  This element defines values
   of:
   o  "block": This action instructs the focus to deny access to the
      conference.  This action is the default action taken in the
      absence of any other actions.
   o  "confirm": This action instructs the focus to place the
      participant on a pending list (e.g., by parking the call on a
      music-on-hold server), awaiting moderator input for further
      actions.
   o  "allow": This action instructs the focus to accept the conference
      join request and grant access to the conference within the
      instructions specified in the transformations of this rule.
   o  "authenticate": This action instructs the focus that the user has
      to provide a combination of username/password.
   o  "directed-operator": This action instructs the focus to direct the
      user to an operator.

4.6.2.  <user-admission-policy>

   The <user-admission-policy> is an element that lets an organizer (or
   a participant with appropriate rights) choose a policy for the
   conference that controls how users are allowed into the conference.
   The list of possible values are:

   o  "closedAuthenticated": A 'closedAuthenticated' policy requires
      each conference participant to be in the allowed users list
      (listed under the <allowed-users-list> XML element) with each
      participant being sufficiently (up to local policy) authenticated.
      Conference join requests for users not in the allowed users list
      or participants not authenticated should be rejected unless a
      <join-handling> action of 'confirm' is selected in which case the
      user is placed on a pending list as indicated earlier.
   o  "openAuthenticated": An 'openAuthenticated' policy requires each
      conferencing participant to be sufficiently authenticated (as
      before) but does not restrict which participants can join the
      conference.  Typically this implies that anyone capable of
      authenticating with the conferencing system may join the
      conference.

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


   o  "anonymous": An 'anonymous' policy allows any join requests in and
      is the least restrictive policy.

4.6.3.  <allowed-users-list>

   The <allowed-users-list> child element contains a list of user URIs,
   PSTN phone numbers, roles, or domains (*@example.com) that the focus
   uses to determine who can join the conference, who can be invited to
   join a conference, or who the focus needs to "refer to" the
   conference.  The <allowed-users-list> element includes zero or more
   <target> child elements.  This child element includes the mandatory
   'uri' attribute and the mandatory 'method' attribute.  The same 'uri'
   attribute with different method values can appear in the list more
   than once.

   The 'method' attribute is a list with the following values:

   o  "dial-in": The value "dial-in" is used by the focus to determine
      who can join the conference.
   o  "dial-out": The value "dial-out" contains a list of resources that
      the focus will initiate a session with.
   o  "refer": The value "refer" is used by the focus to determine the
      resources that the focus needs to "refer to" the conference.  In
      SIP, this is achieved by the focus sending a REFER request to
      those potential participants.  In a different paradigm, this could
      also mean that the focus sends an SMS or an email to the referred
      user.  This list can be updated during the conference lifetime so
      it can be used for mid-conference refers as well.

   The "refer" value differs from the "dial-out" in that the resources
   on the "refer" value are expected to initiate the session
   establishment toward the focus themselves.  It is also envisioned
   that different users will have different access rights to those lists
   and therefore a separation between the two is needed.

4.6.4.  <user> and Its <user> Sub-elements

   The element <user> is described in RFC5475[1] and describes a single
   participant in the conference.  The <user> element has an attribute
   'entity'.  Notice that the <user> element does not have the attribute
   'state' defined in RFC4575[1] for this element because this attribute
   only applies to notifications mechanism.

   o  The attribute 'entity' contains a unique conference user
      identifier (XCON_USERID).  Other user identifiers can be
      associated with this conference user identifier and enable the
      conferencing system to correlate and map these multiple
      authenticated user identities to a single global user identifier.

      identifier in association with the user identity defined for BFCP,
      SIP, and H323 user identity.  It should be noted that a
      conferencing system is free to structure such relationships as
      required and this information is just included as a guideline that
      can be used.

4.6.4.3.  <provide-anonymity>

   The <provide-anonymity> element provides anonymity to the user.  In
   this case, the focus provides to the rest of the participants an
   anonymous identity for that user, for example anonymousX.  This
   element only affects the way the user information is provided to the
   other participants.  The real information about the user is still
   stored in the data model.  This can be achieved by using the
   <provide-anonymity> element.  It is a boolean transformation.  If set
   to TRUE, the conference participants will see an anonymous identity
   for the user.

4.6.4.4.  <roles>

   The <roles> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1], section
   5.6.3.

4.6.4.5.  <languages>

   The <languages> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1], section
   5.6.4.

4.6.4.6.  <cascaded-focus>

   The <cascaded-focus> child element is explained in RFC 4575 [1],
   section 5.6.5.

4.6.4.7.  <allow-refer-users-dynamically>

   The <allow-refer-users-dynamically> element represents a boolean
   action.  If set to TRUE, a participant is allowed to instruct the
   focus to refer a user to the conference without modifying the
   <allowed-users-list> (in SIP terms, a participant is allowed to send
   a REFER request to the focus which results in the focus sending a
   REFER request to the user the referrer wishes to join the
   conference).  If set to FALSE, the refer request is rejected.  If
   this element is undefined it has a value of FALSE, causing the refer
   to be rejected.

4.6.4.8.  <allow-invite-users-dynamically>

   The <allow-invite-users-dynamically> element represents a boolean
   action.  If set to TRUE, a participant is allowed to instruct the
   focus to invite a user to the conference without modifying the
   <allowed-users-list> list (in SIP terms, a participant is allowed to
   send a REFER request to the focus which results in the focus sending
   an INVITE request to the user the referrer wishes to join the
   conference).  If set to FALSE, the refer request is rejected.  If

   this element is undefined it has a value of FALSE, causing the refer
   to be rejected.

4.6.4.9.  <allow-remove-users-dynamically>

   The <allow-remove-users-dynamically> element represents a boolean
   action.  If set to TRUE, a participant is allowed to instruct the
   focus to remove a user from the conference without modifying the
   ruleset (in SIP terms, a participant is allowed to send a REFER
   request to the focus which results in the focus sending an BYE
   request to the user the referrer wishes to leave the conference).  If
   set to FALSE, the refer request is rejected.  If this element is
   undefined it has a value of FALSE, causing the refer to be rejected.

4.6.4.10.  <endpoint>

   The <endpoint> child element is defined in RFC4575[1].  It can
   provide the desired level of detail about the user's devices and
   their signaling sessions taking part in the conference and has the
   following child elements defined in RFC4575 [1]: <display-text>,
   <referred>, <status>, <joining-method>, <joining-info>,
   <disconnection-method>, <disconnection-info>, <media>, and <call-
   info>.  Notice that the <endpoint> element does not have the
   attribute 'state' defined in RFC4575[1] for this element because this
   attribute only applies to notifications mechanism.

   Besides the <endpoint>/<media> child elements defined in RFC 4575[1],
   the <endpoint>/<media> element has two other child elements: <to-
   mixer>, and <from-mixer> described in the following list:

   o  <from-mixer>, <to-mixer>: These are controls that apply to a
      user's media stream being sent from the mixer to the participants
      endpoint or to the mixer from the participants endpoint.  The <to-
      mixer> element details properties associated with the incoming
      streams to the mixer (streams sent to the mixer from the
      participant).  The <from-mixer> element details properties
      associated with the outgoing streams from the mixer (sent from the
      mixer to the participant).  Both of these elements have the
      attribute 'name'.  The 'name' attribute has the values "VideoIn",
      "VideoOut", "AudioOut", and "AudioIn".  The "VideoOut" and
      "AudioOut" media streams detail properties associated with the
      outgoing video and audio from the mixer.  The "VideoIn" and
      "AudioIn" media stream details properties associated with the
      incoming video and audio to the mixer.  More values can be defined
      in the future.  Each of these elements have the <floor> and
      <controls> child elements:

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


      *  The <floor> element describes a floor that joins this
         participant in the conference.  If a participant, for instance,
         needs to talk in the conference, it first needs to get the
         floor from the chair of the conference.  The <floor> element
         has a "Boolean" value.  A value of FALSE indicates that this
         user does not hold the floor in this moment.  If this control
         is not specified, this user SHOULD NOT specify the floor
         option.
      *  Controls that apply to a specific user would appear under the
         <controls> element.

4.7.  <sidebars-by-ref>

   The <sidebars-by-ref> element contains a set of <entry> child
   elements.  This element is described in RFC4575 [1], 5.9.1.  Notice
   that the <sidebars-by-ref> element does not have the attribute
   'state' defined in RFC4575[1] for this element because this attribute
   only applies to notifications mechanism.

4.8.  <sidebars-by-val>

   The <sidebars-by-val> element contains a set of <entry> child
   elements each containing information about a single sidebar.  This
   element is described in RFC4575 [1], 5.9.2.  Notice that the
   <sidebars-by-val> element does not have the attribute 'state' defined
   in RFC4575[1] for this element because this attribute only applies to
   notifications mechanism.


5.  RELAX NG Schema

   In accordance with the Centralized Conferencing Framework document
   [4], the Conference Object is a logical representation of a
   conference instance.  The conference information schema contains core
   information that is utilized in any conference.  It also contains the
   variable information part of the Conference Object.

   This specification defines some document fragments in RELAX NG format
   [14].

   namespace a = "http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0"
   namespace local = ""
   namespace ns2 = "urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:conference-info"

6.  XML Schema Extensibility

   The Conference Information Data Model defined in this document is
   meant to be extensible toward specific application domains.  Such
   extensions are accomplished by defining elements, child elements and
   attributes that are specific to the desired application domain.  The
   IETF MAY extend the data model schema with extension elements from
   the same namespace, but other instances are free to extend it from
   other than urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xcon-conference-info.

   Elements or attributes from unknown namespaces MUST be ignored.


7.  XML Example

   The following is an example of a conference information document.
   The conference starts on October 17, 2007, at 10:30 AM in New York
   City and finishes the same day at 12:30 PM every week.  In this
   example, there are currently 3 participants in a conference, one
   administrator, one moderator, and one participant.  Note that
   sidebars are allowed in this conference and there is one sidebar in
   the conference.  Also note that there is one floor moderator for the
   audio and a different floor moderator for the video.

8.  Security Considerations

   There are numerous security considerations for this document.  This
   section considers them.

8.1.  Authentication

   A malicious user can manipulate parts of the Conference Information
   Data Model privileges document giving themselves and others
   privileges to manipulate the document.  It is very important that
   only authorized clients are able to manipulate the Conference
   Information Data Model document.

   The security considerations for authentication (section 10.1)
   described in the centralized conferencing framework [1] applies to
   this document.  The focus must ensure that only authorized entities
   are able to manipulate the data to access the information.

8.2.  Confidentiality

   Participants of a conference may not want to reveal some private
   information to other users.  The Conference Information Data Model
   contains sensitive data which should not be analyzed or given to
   anyone.  Confidentiality is provided through encryption.  Strong end-

   to-end authentication and encryption can be done using public keys,
   and end-to-end encryption can be done using private keys.  It is
   RECOMMENDED that the protocols that manipulated the conference
   information data model use a strong encryption for conference
   information protection.

8.3.  Integrity

   It is important that the Conference Information Data Model can only
   be accessed or modified by those authorized users.  Without
   integrity, the Conference Information Data Model could be modified,
   fooling the user into believing incorrect information.  Measures
   taken to ensure integrity include maintaining rigorous authentication
   practices.


9.  IANA Considerations

9.1.  Conference Relax NG Schema Registration


     URI:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xcon-conference-info

     Relax NG Schema:  The Relax NG schema to be registered is contained
        in Section 5.  Its first line is

     namespace a = "http://relaxng.org/ns/compatibility/annotations/1.0"

        and its last line is

     disconnection-type = "departed" | "booted" | "failed" | "busy"


9.2.  Conference Namespace Registration

   URI: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:xcon-conference-info

9.3.  Conference Object Identifier Registration



    XCON_URI = "xcon" ":" [conf-object-id "@"] host [ ":" port ]

    conf-object-id = 1*( unreserved / "+" / "=" / "/" )


   host, port, and unreserved are defined in RFC3986[15]

Internet-Draft              Data Model Schema               October 2007


9.4.  Conference User Identifier Registration



    XCON_USERID = "xcon_userid" ":" conf-object-id

    conf-object-id = 1*( unreserved / "+" / "=" / "/" )


   unreserved is defined in RFC3986[15]
