Introduction • ENUM: we know about that • vCard: "electronic business card" • A contact data format • Essentially Key/value pairs • Transport independent • Most often transported via email and http • Understood by most PIM applications • ENUMservice "vCard": refer from phone number to http(s) resource containing a vCard IETF64 - draft-mayrhofer-enum-vcard-00
Motivation • Publish additional interopable contact information related to a E.164 number • Discover and use this contact information before / during / after VoIP calls (and other applications) • "end user controlled directory entries" • Provide an innovative end-to-end service using ENUM • still seeking the user ENUM killer application, this does at least fatten the list of candidates • Two Service providers asking us how to implement such a service using ENUM IETF64 - draft-mayrhofer-enum-vcard-00
Usage scenario Query: +43 1 5056416 ? ENUM DNS Response: vcard, http://… SIP, sip:office@enum.at Internet enum.at IETF64 - draft-mayrhofer-enum-vcard-00
ENUMservice registration details • ENUMservice name: "vCard" • ENUMservice type: "vcard" • Subtypes: none defined • URI schemes: "http", "https" • Example: $ORIGIN 4.3.6.1.4.6.5.0.5.1.3.4.e164.arpa. @ IN NAPTR 100 10 "u" "E2U+vcard" "!^.*$!http://www.enum.at/vcard-axelm.vcf!" . IETF64 - draft-mayrhofer-enum-vcard-00
Feedback received • Very few (as usual…) :-/ • Subtypes considerations: • "vcard:http" / "vcard:https" instead of just "vcard" • Additional URI schemes? • ldap/ldaps? • Anything else? IETF64 - draft-mayrhofer-enum-vcard-00
Conclusion & discussion • "vCard" refers from ENUM domain to contact info • We already have implementors for this • We think that this could be an innovative service fostering ENUM deployment • We're going to provide a prototype based on Asterisk • Call for feedback • How to proceed with this document?
