  1. SIMPLE List Manipulation Semantics Markus Isomäki markus.isomaki@nokia.com IETF 55

  2. Requirements and Data • Need a standardized way of manipulating ”application feature data” • Important for UI-challenged terminals • Presence list • Unordered list of URIs • Presence authorization policy • A script describing the rules • Several unordered lists of URIs referenced by the script • Conference policies • Authorization rules similar to presence, including unordered lists of URIs referenced by a script • Mass-invitation list • Various other objects

  3. List Manipulation • An unordered list of URIs seems to be a very common element in SIP/SIMPLE applications • Application instance has either a fixed number of lists or the number can vary • It is possible to have a list of lists • It seems very difficult to use the same list accross applications • pres: URL is OK for a presence list, but it has no meaning for a conference • Still, it would be best to do the manipulation in a uniform way across all SIP applications

  4. Protocol • Difficult to decide the actual protocol (SOAP, XMLRPC, ACAP, …) • Proposal to do a semantic description instead • Based on the requirements stated in draft-ietf-simple-data-req-00 • Operations: • CREATE, DELETE • ADD_ENTRY, REMOVE_ENTRY, MODIFY_ENTRY • Multiple operations in a single request? • GET_ENTRIES, CLEAR_ENTRIES • SET_ATTRIBUTES, GET_ATTRIBUTES • Not needed in all cases • SUBSCRIBE, NOTIFY • Related to keeping multiple clients synchronized • Authentication, message integrity, confidentiality

  5. What Should Be Done Next • Decide the Scope of the solution • Just for presence • General purpose list (and authorization policy) management • General purpose data manipulation • with e.g. XML and Xpath • Usable also for conference policy control • Make a good plan on the documents to produce, similar to Conferencing design team • Figure out the relation to Conferencing drafts • Predict the timeline • Decide the Synchronization model • Just simple event package to inform on changes? What would be carried in NOTIFY payload? • Decide how to choose the actual protocols
