             Specifying Civic Address Extensions in PIDF-LO
                   draft-ietf-geopriv-local-civic-04

Abstract

   New fields are occasionally added to civic addresses.  A backwardly-
   compatible mechanism for adding civic address elements to the Geopriv
   civic address format is described.  A formal mechanism for handling
   unsupported extensions when translating between XML and DHCP civic
   address forms is defined for entities that need to perform this
   translation.  Intial extensions for some new elements are also
   defined.  The LoST protocol mechanism that returns civic address
   element names used for validation of location information is
   clarified to require a namespace on each element.

Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

1.  Introduction

   The Geopriv civic location specifications ([RFC4776], [RFC5139])
   define an XML and binary representations for civic addresses that
   allow for the expression of civic addresses.  Guidance for the use of
   these formats for the civic addresses in different countries is
   included in [RFC5774].

   Subsequent to these specifications being produced, use cases for
   extending the civic address format with new elements have emerged.
   Extension elements do not readily fit existing elements, as
   recommended in [RFC5774].

   The XML format for civic addresses [RFC5139] provides a mechanism
   that allows for the addition of standardized or privately understood
   elements.  A similar facility for private extension is not provided
   for the DHCP format [RFC4776], though new specifications are able to
   define new CAtypes (civic address types).

   A recipient of a civic address in either format currently has no
   option other than to ignore elements that it does not understand.
   This results in any elements that are unknown to that recipient being
   discarded if a recipient performs a translation between the two
   formats.  In order for a new extension to be preserved through
   translation by any recipient, the recipient has to understand the
   extension and know how to correlate an XML element with a CAtype.

   This document describes how new civic address elements are added.
   Extensions always starts with the definition of XML elements.  A
   mechanism for carrying the extension in the DHCP format is described.
   A new XML namespace containing a small number of additional civic
   elements is also defined and can be used as a template to illustrate
   how other extensions can be defined as required.

   These mechanisms ensure that any translation between formats can be
   performed consistently and without loss of information.  Translation
   between formats can occur without knowledge of every extension that
   is present.

   The registry of numeric CAtypes is modified so that creators of
   extension can advertise new namespaces and the civic elements to
   encourage maximum reuse.

   The additions described in this document are backwardly compatible.
   Existing implementations may cause extension information to be lost,
   but the presence of extensions does not affect an implementation that
   conforms to either [RFC4776] or [RFC5139].

   This document also normatively updates [RFC5222] to clarify that the
   namespace must be included with the element name in the lists of
   valid, invalid and not checked elements in the <locationValidation>
   part of a LoST response.  While the LoST schema does not need to be
   changed, the example in the document is updated to show the
   namespaces in the lists.

1.1.  Motivating Example

   One instance where translation might be necessary is where a device
   receives location configuration using DHCP [RFC4776].  Conversion of
   DHCP information to an XML form is necessary if the device wishes to
   use the DHCP-provided information in a range of applications,
   including location-based presence services [RFC4079], and emergency
   calling [RFC5012].

    +--------+          +--------+         +-----------+
    | DHCP   |   DHCP   | Device |   XML   | Recipient | e.g., Presence
    | Server |--------->|        |-------->|           |       Agent
    +--------+          +--------+         +-----------+

                       Figure 1: Conversion Scenario

   The Device that performs the translation between the DHCP and XML
   formats might not be aware of some of the extensions that are in use.
   Without knowledge of these extensions and how they are represented in
   XML, the Device is forced to discard them.

   These extensions could be useful - or critical - to the ultimate
   consumers of this information.  For instance, an extension element
   might provide a presence watcher with important information in
   locating the Device or an extension might be significant in choosing
   a particular call route.

1.2.  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 [RFC2119].

2.  Specifying Civic Address Extensions

   The civic schema in [RFC5139] defines an ordered structure of
   elements that can be combined to describe a civic address.  The XML
   extension point at the end of this sequence is used to extend the
   address.

Winterbottom, et al.    Expires February 2, 2013                [Page 4]
Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

   New elements are defined in a new XML namespace [XMLNS].  This is
   true of address elements with significance within private or
   localized domains, as well as those that are intended for global
   applicability.

   New elements SHOULD use the basic "caType" schema type defined in
   [RFC5139].  This type provides an optional "xml:lang" attribute.

   For example, suppose the (fictitious) Central Devon Canals Authority
   wishes to introduce a new civic element called "bridge".  The
   authority defines an XML namespace that includes a "bridge" element.
   The namespace needs to be a unique URI, for example
   "http://devon.canals.org.uk/civic".

   A civic address that includes the new "bridge" element is shown in
   Figure 2.

      <civicAddress xml:lang="en-GB"
           xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"
           xmlns:cdc="http://devon.canals.org.uk/civic">
        <country>UK</country>
        <A1>Devon</A1>
        <A3>Monkokehampton</A3>
        <RD>Deckport</RD>
        <STS>Cross</STS>

        <cdc:bridge>21451338</cdc:bridge>

      </civicAddress>

                 Figure 2: Extended Civic Address Example

   An entity that receives this location information might not
   understand the extension address element.  As long as the added
   element is able to be safely ignored, the remainder of the civic
   address can be used.  The result is that the information is not as
   useful as it could be, but the added element does not prevent the use
   of the remainder of the address.

   The address can be passed to other applications, such as a LoST
   server [RFC5222], without modification.  If the application
   understands the added elements, it is able to make use of that
   information.  For example, if this civic address is acquired using
   HELD [RFC5985], it can be included in a LoST request directly.

3.  Translating Unsupported Elements

   Unsupported civic address elements can be carried without consequence
   only as long as the format of the address does not change.  When
   converting between the XML and DHCP formats, these unsupported
   elements are necessarily discarded: the entity performing the
   translation has no way to know the correct element to use in the
   target format.

   All extensions MUST be defined using the mechanism described in this
   document.  Extensions that use numeric CAtypes or other mechanisms
   cannot be safely translated between XML and DHCP representations.

   An entity that does not support these extension mechanisms is
   expected to remove elements it doesn't understand when performing
   conversions.

3.1.  XML to DHCP Format Translation

   Extensions to the XML format [RFC5139] are defined in a new XML
   namespace [XMLNS].

   Extensions in the XML format can be added to a DHCP format civic
   address using an extension CAtype.

3.2.  Extension Civic Address Type (CAtype)

   The extension CAtype (CAtype code XX) [Note to IANA/RFC-Editor:
   please replace XX here and in the figure below with the assigned
   code] includes three values that uniquely identify the XML extension
   and its value: a namespace URI, the local name of the XML element,
   and the text content of that element.  These three values are all
   included in the value of the CAtype, each separated by a single
   whitespace character.

    0                   1                   2                   3
    0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |  CAtype (XX)  |   Length      |  Namespace URI ...            .
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   .                  Namespace URI (continued) ...                .
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |  Space (U+20) |           XML element local name ...          .
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
   |  Space (U+20) |           Extension type value  ...           .
   +-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

   The content of a CAtype (after the CAtype code and length) is UTF-8
   encoded Unicode text [RFC3629].  A maximum of 255 octets is allowed.
   Octets consumed by the namespace URI and local name reduce the space
   available for values.

   This conversion only works for elements that have textual content and
   an optional "xml:lang" attribute.  Elements with complex content or
   other attributes - aside from namespace bindings - MUST be ignored if
   they are not understood.

3.3.  DHCP to XML Format Translation

   The registration of a new CAtype following the process in [RFC4776]
   means that a recipient that does not know the equivalent XML is
   unable to produce a complete XML representation of the DHCP civic
   address.  For this reason, this document ends the registration of new
   numeric CAtypes.  No new registrations of numeric CAtypes can be
   made.

   In lieu of making new numerical CAtype assignments, this document
   creates a new extensionCA type which is defined in a manner that lets
   new civic elements be described in DHCP form by carrying the name
   space and type name of the extension in parameters of the extensionCA
   type.

   When converting to XML, the namespace prefix used for the extension
   element is selected by the entity that performs the conversion.

3.4.  Conversion Example

   The following example civic address contains two extensions:

      <civicAddress xml:lang="en-US"
           xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"
           xmlns:post="http://postsoftheworld.net/ns"
           xmlns:ap="http://example.com/airport/5.0">
        <country>US</country>
        <A1>CA</A1>

        <post:lamp>2471</post:lamp>
        <post:pylon>AQ-374-4(c)</post:pylon>

        <ap:airport>LAX</ap:airport>
        <ap:terminal>Tom Bradley</ap:terminal>
        <ap:concourse>G</ap:concourse>
        <ap:gate>36B</ap:gate>
      </civicAddress>

              Figure 4: XML Example with Multiple Extensions

   This is converted to a DHCP form as follows:

      country     = US
      CAtype[0]   = en-US
      CAtype[1]   = CA
      CAtype[XX]  = http://postsoftheworld.net/ns lamp 2471
      CAtype[XX]  = http://postsoftheworld.net/ns pylon AQ-374-4(c)
      CAtype[XX]  = http://example.com/airport/5.0 airport LAX
      CAtype[XX]  = http://example.com/airport/5.0 terminal Tom Bradley
      CAtype[XX]  = http://example.com/airport/5.0 concourse G
      CAtype[XX]  = http://example.com/airport/5.0 gate 36B

         Figure 5: Converted DHCP Example with Multiple Extensions

4.  CAtypes Registry

   [RFC4776] created the CAtype registry.  Among other things, this
   registry advertised available civic elements.  While it has always
   been possible to use an extension namespace to define civic elements
   that are not in the CAtype registry, and this document does not
   change that, the registry is valuable to alert implementors of
   commonly used civic elements and provides guidance to clients of what
   elements they should suppport.

   This document alters the CAtype registry in several ways.  It closes
   the registry to new numeric CAtypes.  It deletes the "NENA" column,
   which is not needed.  It adds columns for a namespace and contact,

Winterbottom, et al.    Expires February 2, 2013                [Page 8]
Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

   and changes the name of the column currently called "PIDF" to "Local
   Name".  It also adds a column to the registry called "Type".  "Type"
   can have one of two values "A" and "B".  Type A elements are intended
   for wide use with many applications and SHOULD be implemented by all
   clients unless the client is certain the element will not be
   encountered.  Type "B" civic elements MAY be implemented by any
   client.

   Type A civic elements require IETF review, while Type B elements only
   require an expert review.

5.  Civic Extensions

   We use this new extension method to define some additional civic
   address elements which are needed to correctly encode civic locations
   in several countries.  The definition of these new civic address
   elements also serves as an example of how to define additional
   elements using the mechanisms described in this document.

5.1.  Pole Number

   In some areas, utility and lamp posts carry a unique identifier,
   which we call a pole number in this document.  In some countries, the
   label on the lamp post also carries the local emergency service
   number, such as "110", encouraging callers to use the pole number to
   identify their location.

5.2.  Mile Post

   On some roads, trails, railroad rights of way and other linear
   features, a post with a mile or kilometer distance from one end of
   the feature may be found (a "milepost").  There are other cases of
   poles or markers with numeric indications that are not the same as a
   "house number" or street address number.

5.3.  Street Type Prefix

   The civic schema defined in [RFC5139] allows the definition of
   address "123 Colorado Boulevard", but it does not allow for the easy
   expression of "123 Boulevard Colorado".  Adding a street-type prefix,
   allows street named in this manner to be more easily represented.

5.4.  House Number Prefix

   The civic schema defined in [RFC5139] provides house number suffix
   element, allowing one to express an address like "123A Main Street",
   but it does not contain a corresponding house number prefix.  The
   house number prefix element allows the expression of address such as
   "Z123 Main Street".

6.  Using Local Civic Extension with the LoST Protocol

   One critical use of civic location information is in next generation
   emergency services applications, in particular call routing
   applications.  In such cases location information is provided to a
   location-based routing service using the location to service
   transtion (LoST) protcol [RFC5222].  LoST is used to provide call
   routing information, but it is also used to validate location
   information to ensure that it can route to an emergency center when
   required.

   LoST is an XML-based protocol and so the namespace extension
   mechansims described in this document do not impact LoST.  When LoST
   is used for validation a <locationValidation> element is returned
   containing a list of valid, a list of invalid, and a list of
   unchecked civic elements.  Figure 7 is an extract of the validation
   response in Figure 6 from [RFC5222].

   <locationValidation>
       <valid>country A1 A3 A6</valid>
       <invalid>PC</invalid>
       <unchecked>HNO</unchecked>
   </locationValidation>

         Figure 7: Location Validation Example from LoST (RFC5222)

   The RelaxNG schema in [RFC5222] requires the elements in each of
   these lists to be namespace qualified, which makes the example in
   Figure 6 from [RFC5222] in error.  This issue is especially
   significant when local-civic extensions are used as the domain to
   which the extensions are attributed may impact their interpretation
   by the server or client.  To ensure that local-civic extensions do

Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

   not cause issues with LoST server and client implementations, all
   elements listed in a <valid>, <invalid>, or <unchecked> element MUST
   be qualified with a namespace.  To illustrate this the extract above
   from figure 6 in [RFC5222] becomes Figure 8.

   <locationValidation
          xmlns:ca="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr">
       <valid>ca:country ca:A1 ca:A3 ca:A6</valid>
       <invalid>ca:PC</invalid>
       <unchecked>ca:HNO</unchecked>
   </locationValidation>

              Figure 8: Corrected Location Validation Example

   If validation request has also included the extensions defined in
   section Section 5 then the validation would response would look like
   Figure 9.

 <locationValidation
        xmlns:ca="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr"
        xmlns:cae="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext">
     <valid>ca:country ca:A1 ca:A3 ca:A6 cae:PN cae:STP</valid>
     <invalid>ca:PC</invalid>
     <unchecked>ca:HNO cae:MP cae:HNP</unchecked>
 </locationValidation>

7.  Security Considerations

   This document defines a formal way to extend the existing Geopriv
   civic address schema.  No security threats are introduced by this
   document.

   Security threats applicable to the civic address formats are
   described in [RFC4776] (DHCP) and [RFC5139] (XML).

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document alters the "CAtypes" registry established by [RFC4776].

Internet-Draft              Civic Extensions                    Aug 2012

8.1.  CAtype Registration for Extensions

   IANA has allocated a CAtype code of XX for the extension CAtype.

   [[IANA/RFC-EDITOR: Please replace XX with the allocated CAtype]]

8.2.  Changes to the CAtype Registry

   No further registration of numeric CAtypes is permitted.

   The column called "NENA" is removed.

   The column called "PIDF" is renamed to "Local Name".

   New columns are added named "Namespace URI", "Contact", "Schema" and
   "Type".

   New registrations use the registration template in Section 8.5.

8.3.  URN sub-namespace registration for
      'urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext'

   This document calls for IANA to register a new XML namespace, as per
   the guidelines in [RFC3688].

   URI:  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:pidf:geopriv10:civicAddr:ext

   Registrant Contact:  IETF, GEOPRIV working group (geopriv@ietf.org),
      James Winterbottom (james.winterbottom@commscope.com).

      The XML for this schema can be found as the entirety of
      Section 5.5 of this document.

8.5.  Registration Template

   New registrations in the "CAtypes" registry require the following
   information:

   CAtype:  The assigned numeric CAtype.  All new registrations use the
      value XX.  [[IANA/RFC-Editor: update XX] Existing registrations
      use their assigned value.

   Namespace URI:  A unique identifier for the XML namespace used for
      the extension element.

   Local Name:  The local name of an XML element that carries the civic
      address element.

   Description:  A brief description of the semantics of the civic
      address element.

   (Optional) Example:  One or more simple examples of the element.

   Contact:  Contact details for the person providing the extension.

   (Optional) Specification:  A reference to a specification for the
      civic address element.

   (Optional) Schema:  A reference to a formal schema (XML schema,
      RelaxNG, or other form) that defines the extension.

   Type:  If Type is "A", all clients SHOULD implement this element.  If
      Type is "B", clients MAY implement this element.

   Registrations from [RFC4776] and [RFC5139] are registered with the
   following form:

8.6.  Registration Policy and Expert Guidance

   The "CAtypes" registry is altered to operate on a registration policy
   of "Expert Review", and optionally "Specification Required" [RFC5226]
   if the element being registered has a Type value of "B".

   The registration rules for "Specification Required" are followed only
   if a registration includes a reference to a specification.
   Registrations can be made without a specification reference.

   If the element being registered has a Type value of "A" then the
   registration policy is "IETF Review".

   All registrations are reviewed to identify potential duplication
   between registered elements.  Duplicated semantics are not prohibited
   in the registry, though it is preferred if existing elements are
   used.  The expert review is advised to recommend the use of existing
   elements following the guidance in [RFC5774].  Any registration that
   is a duplicate or could be considered a close match for the semantics
   of an existing element SHOULD include a discussion of the reasons
   that the existing element was not reused.

   it a little unintuitive.
