Revised Civic Format James Winterbottom
Motivation • Investigations and work done on civic representations has expanded somewhat since the initial version of the GeoPriv Civil specification. • Work done by Henning Schulzrinne for the DHCP Civil draft highlighted the need for some additional fields. • Still further fields were identified as required by delegates from Japan.
Proposal • The draft proposes a new schema with a name space of urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr • Schema introduces 7 new Civic Address types. • Creates a new namespace rather than extensions to the old to avoid confusion and allow deprication of old namespace.
Proposal (cont) • Basic building block is now a caType which is an extension of the XML token rather than string. This makes equivalence matching between values easier as ambiguities regarding spaces are removed. • caType defined has an attribute for the xml:lang allowing caTypes to be specified in different languages. • All caTypes defined in the new schema have a corresponding value in DHCP civil draft. Making the schemas compatible. • Note that the DHCP civil “script” CAType is omitted in favour of the xml:lang type.
New Fields • BLD :- the name of a building or structure (Pinnacle Hotel) • UNIT :- unit, apartment or suite (12a) • ROOM :- room (150f) • SEAT :- seat, workstation or desk (ws181) • PLC :- The placetype (office) • POBOX:- The post office box (U40) • ADDCODE :- Additional Code (13203000003)
Other Changes from PIDF-LO • Country code is now restricted to two uper case characters to be in line with ISO.3166.1988
