Introduction This document creates a registry for location types, such as bus, airport or hotel. Schulzrinne & Tschofenig Expires May 29, 2005 [Page 3] Internet-Draft Location Types Registry November 2004 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 [1]. Schulzrinne & Tschofenig Expires May 29, 2005 [Page 4] Internet-Draft Location Types Registry November 2004 3. Location Types This section describes types of location where an entity is located. The entity is not further specified and can be a person or an object such as a network access point. aircraft: The entity is in a plane, helicopter or balloon. airport: The entity is located in an airport, heliport or similar location. bus: The entity is travling in a public or charter bus. car: The entity is in an automobile. home: The entity is in a private or residential setting, not necessarily the personal residence of the entity, e.g., including hotel or a friend's home. hotel: The entity is in a hotel, motel, inn or other lodging establishment. industrial: The entity is in an industrial setting, such as a manufacturing floor or power plant. library: The entity is in a library or other public place that provides access to books, music and reference materials. mall: The entity is frequenting a shopping mall or shopping area. Schulzrinne & Tschofenig Expires May 29, 2005 [Page 5] Internet-Draft Location Types Registry November 2004 office: The entity is in a business setting, such as an office. outdoors: The entity is in a general outdoors area, such as a park or city streets. restaurant: The entity is in a restaurant, coffee shop or other public dining establishment. school: The entity is in a school or university, but not necessarily in a classroom or library. ship: The entity is traveling in a water vessel or boat. station: The entity is located in a bus or train station. street: The entity is walking in a street. theater: The entity is in a theater, lecture hall, auditorium, class room, movie theater or similar facility designed for presentations, talks, plays, music performances and other events involving an audience. hospital: The entity is located in a medical facility. train: The entity is traveling in a train, monorail, maglev, cable car or similar conveyance. truck: The entity is in a truck, used primarily to carry goods rather than people. Schulzrinne & Tschofenig Expires May 29, 2005 [Page 6] public: The entity is in a public area such as a shopping mall, street, park, public building, train station, airport or in public conveyance such as a bus, train, plane or ship. This general description encompasses the more precise descriptors 'street', 'public-transport', 'aircraft', 'ship', 'bus', 'train', 'airport', 'mall' and 'outdoors'. public-transport: The entity is using any form of public transport, including aircraft, bus, train or ship. Schulzrinne & Tschofenig Expires May 29, 2005 [Page 7] Internet-Draft Location Types Registry November 2004 4. IANA Considerations This document creates new IANA registries for location types as listed in Section 3 starting with 'aircraft' and finishing with 'public-transport' . Following the policies outline in RFC 2434 [2], these tokens are assigned on a 'First Come First Served' policy. Each registration must include the name of the token and a brief description similar to the ones offered in for the initial registrations contained this document: XML Schema Name Data Type: Identifier of the token Description: Brief description indicating the meaning of the token. Usage of these tokens is not limited to XML. However, it is expected that XML imposes the most restrictions on the allowable syntax and thus all tokens must conform to the rules for XML Names.

Security Considerations This document defines a registry for location types and as such does not raise security issues.
