Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 1] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 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.

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. Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 4] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 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.

It is referenced by parameter from the "LOCATION" property of a "VEVENT". Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 6] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 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\, Utah Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 7] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 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.

Value Type: TEXT Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property SHOULD be specified in a "VVENUE" calendar component. Description: This is the commonly used name for the venue. Format Definition: This property is defined by the following notation: Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 9] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 name = "NAME" ":" text CRLF Example: The following is an example of a venue identifier property: NAME:The Venue 4.3. Description Property Use Within Venue Component The use of the Description property within VVENUE is identical to that specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE. 4.4. Venue Street Address Property Property Name: "STREET-ADDRESS" Purpose: This property specifies the street address of a location. Value Type: TEXT 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 street address of a location. If the location requires a multiple-line address, they may be separated by an encoded newline "\n". Format Definition: street-address = "STREET-ADDRESS" ":" text CRLF Example: The following is an example of a location identifier property: STREET-ADDRESS:1055 Fifth Avenue\nSuite 4 4.5. Venue Extended Address Property Property Name: "EXTENDED-ADDRESS" Purpose: This property provides the opportunity to include extended address information for a location. Value Type: TEXT Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property MAY be specified in a "VVENUE" calendar Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 10] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 component. Description: This property provides the opportunity to include extended address information for a location. This property may be used to give additional information about an address that is not usually considered part of the street address. If the location requires a multiple-line address, they may be separated by an encoded newline "\n". Format Definition: extended-address = "EXTENDED-ADDRESS" ":" text CRLF Example: The following is an example of a location identifier property: EXTENDED-ADDRESS:Conference Room B 4.6. Venue Locality Property Property Name: "LOCALITY" Purpose: This property specifies the locality in which a venue is found. Value Type: TEXT Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be specified on this property. Conformance: This property MAY be specified in a "VVENUE" calendar component.

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 property: POSTALCODE:92101 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. Time zone calendar components may be shared between venue components 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 Property Name: "TEL" Purpose: This property specifies a telephone number for a location. Value Type: TEXT Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 13] 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. Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 14] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 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 Stamp Use Within Location Component The use of the DTSTAMP property within VVENUE is identical to that specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE. 4.19. Last Modified Use Within Location Component The use of the LAST-MODIFIED property within VVENUE is identical to that specified in RFC 2445 (iCalendar), extended simply to VVENUE. 4.20. Abbreviation Parameter Parameter Name: "ABBREV" Purpose: To specify an abbreviated version of a REGION or COUNTRY. Format Definition: abbreviation = "ABBREV" "=" paramtext CRLF Description: The parameter MAY be specified on the "REGION" and "COUNTRY" properties when abbreviated versions are available and may be useful. Example: The following is an example of this property parameter: COUNTRY;ABBREV=US;ABBREV=USA:United States 4.21. Type Parameter Parameter Name: "TYPE" Purpose: To specify a type string for a URL or TEL property. Format Definition: type = "TYPE" "=" paramtext CRLF Description: The parameter MAY be specified on the "URL" and "TEL" properties when information about the type of these resources is available and may be useful. For example, identifying the box office Norris & McCullough Expires August 3, 2007 [Page 15] Internet-Draft ical-venue January 2007 phone number, or fax number may be useful for phone numbers, or identifying a tickets URL, official site, or other URL types may be useful for URL property. Example: The following is an example of this property parameter: URL;TYPE=map:http://maps.google.com/ maps?q=1055%20Fifth%20Avenue%2C%20San%20Diego%2C%20California %20&hl=en 4.22.
