Abstract

   The currently existing iCalendar standard (RFC 2445) provides only a
   simple text field ("LOCATION" property) for specifying the location
   where an event (or "TODO" item) will occur.  While this may be
   adequate for human readers, it is difficult for automated systems to
   make use of.  With the recent advent of tools and services (event
   aggregators, for example) which would benefit greatly from structured
   location data, the need to specify detailed venue information has
   become apparent.  This document describes a proposed method for
   addressing this need.

   Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the working group's
   mailing list at ietf-ical-extensions@eventful.com and/or the authors.

   Note: This document depends on RFC2445bis, currently in draft status,
   and should not proceed without RFC2445bis.

Internet-Draft                 ical-venue                   January 2007


1.  Introduction

   This specification introduces a new iCalendar [RFC2445] component
   VVENUE to provide detailed venue information for an event.  The
   currently existing iCalendar standard (RFC 2445) provides only a
   simple text field ("LOCATION" property) for specifying the location
   where an event (or "TODO" item) will occur.  This is inadequate for
   use cases where structured location information (e.g. address,
   region, country, postal code) is required or preferred, and limits
   widespread adoption of iCalendar in those settings.

   This specification is targeted at communicating detailed information
   about venues at which events occur; it is not intended to provide the
   level of location information necessary for resource scheduling.

2.  An Example

   To facilitate understanding the detailed descriptions below, here is
   an example iCalendar file including the proposed venue component.
   This example is for a Joe Bloggs concert occuring at The Venue in San
   Diego, CA.

3.  Venue Identifier Parameter

   Parameter Name: "VVENUE"

   Purpose: To specify the identifier for the venue definition for a
   venue component in the property value.

   Format Definition:
     venueparam  = "VVENUE" "=" paramtext

   Description: The parameter MAY be specified on the "LOCATION"
   property when detailed information about the venue is available.

   Example: The following is an example of this property parameter as
   part of a LOCATION property in a VEVENT:

     LOCATION;VVENUE=1234@eventful.com:Novell\, Inc.\n1860
     South Novell Place\nBuilding H\, Executive Briefing Center\nProvo\,

4.  Venue Component

   Component Name: "VVENUE"

   Purpose: Provide a grouping of component properties that describe an
   event venue.

   Format Definition: A "VVENUE" calendar component is defined by the
   following notation:
     venuec  = "BEGIN" ":" "VVENUE" CRLF
             venueprop
             "END" ":" "VVENUE" CRLF

     venueprop  = *(

               ; the following are all REQUIRED,
               ; but MUST NOT occur more than once

               uid

               ; the following are optional,
               ; but MUST NOT occur more than once

               name / description / street-address / extended-address /
               locality / region / country / postal-code / tzid / geo /
               location-type / categories

               ; the following are optional,
               ; and MAY occur more than once

               tel / url
             )

   Description: A "VVENUE" calendar component is a grouping of component
   properties that represent a venue where an event occurs.  This
   extends the "LOCATION" property of "VEVENT" and "TODO" components,
   providing the ability to specify detailed information about the event
   venue.

   Example: The following is an example of the "VVENUE" calendar
   component used to represent the The Venue in San Diego, California.

Internet-Draft                 ical-venue                   January 2007


   Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
   specified on this property.

   Conformance: This property MAY be specified in a "VVENUE" calendar
   component.

   Description: This specifies the postal code of a location.

   Format Definition:
       postalcode   = "POSTALCODE" ":" text CRLF

   Example: The following is an example of a location identifier

4.10.  TZID Use Within Venue Component

   Property Name: TZID

   Purpose: To specify the identifier for the time zone definition for a
   venue component.

   Description: The use of the TZID property within VVENUE is
   substantially similar to the use of the TZID parameter specified in
   RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended to specify the time zone of a venue
   component.

   Where the TZID parameter specifies the identifier for the time zone
   definition for a time component, the TZID property conveys the same
   information for a venue component.

   and other components.  For instance, a venue component and an event
   component may both point to the same timezone component.

4.11.  GEO Property Use Within Venue Component

   The use of the GEO property within VVENUE is identical to that
   specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE.

4.12.  Telephone Property

Internet-Draft                 ical-venue                   January 2007


   Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters, including the
   TYPE parameter, can be specified on this property.

   Conformance: This property MAY be specified in a "VVENUE" calendar
   component.

   Description: This specifies the telephone number of a location.

   Format Definition:
       telephone   = "TEL" ":" text CRLF

   Example: The following is an example of a telephone property:
       TEL;TYPE=Box Office:619.299.2583

4.13.  Location Type Property

   Property Name: "LOCATION-TYPE"

   Purpose: To specify the IANA location-type [RFC4589] designator for a
   VVENUE component.

   Format Definition:
       location-type  = "LOCATION-TYPE" "=" text CRLF

   Description: The parameter MAY be specified on a "VVENUE" component
   when the IANA location-type designation is available.

   Example: The following is an example of this property:
       LOCATION-TYPE:club, bar, restaurant

   Although categories and location type tokens are perhaps similar,
   they serve rather different purposes.  Location type tokens serve to
   categorize a VVENUE using a well-defined, finite list of
   possibilities (the IANA Location Type Registry).  Categories on the
   other hand are user-provided and user defined and have both a
   richness and "messiness" that allows user-created taxonomies to arise
   and evolve.

4.14.  CATEGORIES Use Within Location Component

   The use of the CATEGORIES property within VVENUE is identical to that
   specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE.

4.15.  URL Use Within Location Component

   The use of the URL property within VVENUE is identical to that
   specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE.

4.16.  Related To Use Within Location Component

   The use of the RELATED-TO property within VVENUE is identical to that
   specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE.

4.17.  Date/Time Created Use Within Location Component

   The use of the CREATED property within VVENUE is identical to that
   specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE.
