+Abstract
+
+ This memo defines the profile of the MIME Content-Type [MIME-DIR] for
+ directory information for a white-pages person object, based on a
+ vCard electronic business card. The profile definition is independent
+ of any particular directory service or protocol. The profile is
+ defined for representing and exchanging a variety of information
+ about an individual (e.g., formatted and structured name and delivery
+ addresses, email address, multiple telephone numbers, photograph,
+ logo, audio clips, etc.). The directory information used by this
+ profile is based on the attributes for the person object defined in
+ the X.520 and X.521 directory services recommendations. The profile
+ also provides the method for including a [VCARD] representation of a
+ white-pages directory entry within the MIME Content-Type defined by
+ the [MIME-DIR] document.
+
+ 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 [RFC 2119].

+Overview
+
+ The [MIME-DIR] document defines a MIME Content-Type for holding
+ different kinds of directory information. The directory information
+ can be based on any of a number of directory schemas. This document
+ defines a [MIME-DIR] usage profile for conveying directory
+ information based on one such schema; that of the white-pages type of
+ person object.
+
+ The schema is based on the attributes for the person object defined
+ in the X.520 and X.521 directory services recommendations. The schema
+ has augmented the basic attributes defined in the X.500 series
+ recommendation in order to provide for an electronic representation
+ of the information commonly found on a paper business card. This
+ schema was first defined in the [VCARD] document. Hence, this [MIME-
+ DIR] profile is referred to as the vCard MIME Directory Profile.
+
+ A directory entry based on this usage profile can include traditional
+ directory, white-pages information such as the distinguished name
+ used to uniquely identify the entry, a formatted representation of
+ the name used for user-interface or presentation purposes, both the
+ structured and presentation form of the delivery address, various
+ telephone numbers and organizational information associated with the
+ entry. In addition, traditional paper business card information such
+ as an image of an organizational logo or identify photograph can be
+ included in this person object.
+
+ The vCard MIME Directory Profile also provides support for
+ representing other important information about the person associated
+ with the directory entry. For instance, the date of birth of the
+ person; an audio clip describing the pronunciation of the name
+ associated with the directory entry, or some other application of the
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 3]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ digital sound; longitude and latitude geo-positioning information
+ related to the person associated with the directory entry; date and
+ time that the directory information was last updated; annotations
+ often written on a business card; Uniform Resource Locators (URL) for
+ a website; public key information. The profile also provides support
+ for non-standard extensions to the schema. This provides the
+ flexibility for implementations to augment the current capabilities
+ of the profile in a standardized way. More information about this
+ electronic business card format can be found in [VCARD].
+
+1. The vCard Mime Directory Profile Registration
+
+ This profile is identified by the following [MIME-DIR] registration
+ template information. Subsequent sections define the profile
+ definition.
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME profile VCARD
+
+ Profile name: VCARD
+
+ Profile purpose: To hold person object or white-pages type of
+ directory information. The person schema captured in the directory
+ entries is that commonly found in an electronic business card.
+
+ Predefined MIME Directory value specifications used: uri, date,
+ date-time, float
+
+ New value specifications: This profile places further constraints on
+ the [MIME-DIR] text value specification. In addition, it adds a
+ binary, phone-number, utc-offset and vcard value specifications.
+
+ Predefined MIME Directory types used: SOURCE, NAME, PROFILE, BEGIN,
+ END.
+
+ Predefined MIME Directory parameters used: ENCODING, VALUE, CHARSET,
+ LANGUAGE, CONTEXT.
+
+ New types: FN, N, NICKNAME, PHOTO, BDAY, ADR, LABEL, TEL, EMAIL,
+ MAILER, TZ, GEO, TITLE, ROLE, LOGO, AGENT, ORG, CATEGORIES, NOTE,
+ PRODID, REV, SORT-STRING, SOUND, URL, UID, VERSION, CLASS, KEY
+
+ New parameters: TYPE
+
+ Profile special notes: The vCard object MUST contain the FN, N and
+ VERSION types. The type-grouping feature of [MIME-DIR] is supported
+ by this profile to group related vCard properties about a directory
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 4]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ entry. For example, vCard properties describing WORK or HOME related
+ characteristics can be grouped with a unique group label.
+
+ The profile permits the use of non-standard types (i.e., those
+ identified with the prefix string "X-") as a flexible method for
+ implementations to extend the functionality currently defined within
+ this profile.
+
+2. MIME Directory Features
+
+ The vCard MIME Directory Profile makes use of many of the features
+ defined by [MIME-DIR]. The following sections either clarify or
+ extend the content-type definition of [MIME-DIR].
+
+2.1 Predefined Type Usage
+
+ The vCard MIME Directory Profile uses the following predefined types
+ from [MIME-DIR].
+
+2.1.1 BEGIN and END Type
+
+ The content entity MUST begin with the BEGIN type with a value of
+ "VCARD". The content entity MUST end with the END type with a value
+ of "VCARD".
+
+2.1.2 NAME Type
+
+ If the NAME type is present, then its value is the displayable,
+ presentation text associated with the source for the vCard, as
+ specified in the SOURCE type.
+
+2.1.3 PROFILE Type
+
+ If the PROFILE type is present, then its value MUST be "VCARD".
+
+2.1.4 SOURCE Type
+
+ If the SOURCE type is present, then its value provides information
+ how to find the source for the vCard.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+

+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 5]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+2.2 Predefined Type Parameter Usage
+
+ The vCard MIME Directory Profile uses the following predefined type
+ parameters as defined by [MIME-DIR].
+
+ - LANGUAGE
+
+ - ENCODING
+
+ - VALUE
+
+2.3 Predefined VALUE Type Usage
+
+ The predefined data type values specified in [MIME-DIR] MUST NOT be
+ repeated in COMMA separated value lists except within the N,
+ NICKNAME, ADR and CATEGORIES value types.
+
+ The text value type defined in [MIME-DIR] is further restricted such
+ that any SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59) in the value MUST be
+ escaped with the BACKSLASH character (ASCII decimal 92).
+
+2.4 Extensions To The Predefined VALUE Types
+
+ The predefined data type values specified in [MIME-DIR] have been
+ extended by the vCard profile to include a number of value types that
+ are specific to this profile.
+
+2.4.1 BINARY
+
+ The "binary" value type specifies that the type value is inline,
+ encoded binary data. This value type can be specified in the PHOTO,
+ LOGO, SOUND, and KEY types.
+
+ If inline encoded binary data is specified, the ENCODING type
+ parameter MUST be used to specify the encoding format. The binary
+ data MUST be encoded using the "B" encoding format. Long lines of
+ encoded binary data SHOULD BE folded to 75 characters using the
+ folding method defined in [MIME-DIR].
+
+ The value type is defined by the following notation:
+
+ binary = <A "B" binary encoded string as defined by [RFC 2047].>
+
+2.4.2 VCARD
+
+ The "vcard" value type specifies that the type value is another
+ vCard. This value type can be specified in the AGENT type. The value
+ type is defined by this specification. Since each of the type
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 6]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ declarations with in the vcard value type are being specified within
+ a text value themselves, they MUST be terminated with the backslash
+ escape sequence "\n" or "\N", instead of the normal newline character
+ sequence CRLF. In addition, any COMMA character (ASCII decimal 44),
+ SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59) and COLON character (ASCII
+ decimal 58) MUST be escaped with the BACKSLASH character (ASCII
+ decimal 92). For example, with the AGENT type a value would be
+ specified as:
+
+ AGENT:BEGIN:VCARD\nFN:Joe Friday\nTEL:+1-919-555-7878\n
+ TITLE:Area Administrator\, Assistant\n EMAIL\;TYPE=INTERN\n
+ ET:jfriday@host.com\nEND:VCARD\n
+
+2.4.3 PHONE-NUMBER
+
+ The "phone-number" value type specifies that the type value is a
+ telephone number. This value type can be specified in the TEL type.
+ The value type is a text value that has the special semantics of a
+ telephone number as defined in [CCITT E.163] and [CCITT X.121].
+
+2.4.4 UTC-OFFSET
+
+ The "utc-offset" value type specifies that the type value is a signed
+ offset from UTC. This value type can be specified in the TZ type.
+
+ The value type is an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). It
+ is specified as a positive or negative difference in units of hours
+ and minutes (e.g., +hh:mm). The time is specified as a 24-hour clock.
+ Hour values are from 00 to 23, and minute values are from 00 to 59.
+ Hour and minutes are 2-digits with high order zeroes required to
+ maintain digit count. The extended format for ISO 8601 UTC offsets
+ MUST be used. The extended format makes use of a colon character as a
+ separator of the hour and minute text fields.
+
+ The value is defined by the following notation:
+
+ time-hour = 2DIGIT ;00-23
+ time-minute = 2DIGIT ;00-59
+ utc-offset = ("+" / "-") time-hour ":" time-minute
+
+2.5 Structured Type Values
+
+ Compound type values are delimited by a field delimiter, specified by
+ the SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59). A SEMI-COLON in a
+ component of a compound property value MUST be escaped with a
+ BACKSLASH character (ASCII decimal 92).
+
+
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 7]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ Lists of values are delimited by a list delimiter, specified by the
+ COMMA character (ASCII decimal 44). A COMMA character in a value MUST
+ be escaped with a BACKSLASH character (ASCII decimal 92).
+
+ This profile supports the type grouping mechanism defined in [MIME-
+ DIR]. Grouping of related types is a useful technique to communicate
+ common semantics concerning the properties of a vCard.
+
+2.6 Line Delimiting and Folding
+
+ This profile supports the same line delimiting and folding methods
+ defined in [MIME-DIR]. Specifically, when parsing a content line,
+ folded lines must first be unfolded according to the unfolding
+ procedure described in [MIME-DIR]. After generating a content line,
+ lines longer than 75 characters SHOULD be folded according to the
+ folding procedure described in [MIME DIR].
+
+ Folding is done after any content encoding of a type value. Unfolding
+ is done before any decoding of a type value in a content line.
+
+3. vCard Profile Features
+
+ The vCard MIME Directory Profile Type contains directory information,
+ typically pertaining to a single directory entry. The information is
+ described using an attribute schema that is tailored for capturing
+ personal contact information. The vCard can include attributes that
+ describe identification, delivery addressing, telecommunications
+ addressing, geographical, organizational, general explanatory and
+ security and access information about the particular object
+ associated with the vCard.
+
+3.1 Identification Types
+
+ These types are used in the vCard profile to capture information
+ associated with the identification and naming of the person or
+ resource associated with the vCard.
+
+3.1.1 FN Type Definition
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type FN
+
+ Type name:FN
+
+ Type purpose: To specify the formatted text corresponding to the name
+ of the object the vCard represents.
+
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 8]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type value: A single text value.
+
+ Type special notes: This type is based on the semantics of the X.520
+ Common Name attribute. The property MUST be present in the vCard
+ object.
+
+ Type example:
+
+ FN:Mr. John Q. Public\, Esq.
+
+3.1.2 N Type Definition
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type N
+
+ Type name: N
+
+ Type purpose: To specify the components of the name of the object the
+ vCard represents.
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type value: A single structured text value. Each component can have
+ multiple values.
+
+ Type special note: The structured type value corresponds, in
+ sequence, to the Family Name, Given Name, Additional Names, Honorific
+ Prefixes, and Honorific Suffixes. The text components are separated
+ by the SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59). Individual text
+ components can include multiple text values (e.g., multiple
+ Additional Names) separated by the COMMA character (ASCII decimal
+ 44). This type is based on the semantics of the X.520 individual name
+ attributes. The property MUST be present in the vCard object.
+
+ Type example:
+
+ N:Public;John;Quinlan;Mr.;Esq.
+
+ N:Stevenson;John;Philip,Paul;Dr.;Jr.,M.D.,A.C.P.
+
+3.1.3 NICKNAME Type Definition
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type NICKNAME
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 9]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ Type name: NICKNAME
+
+ Type purpose: To specify the text corresponding to the nickname of
+ the object the vCard represents.
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type value: One or more text values separated by a COMMA character
+ (ASCII decimal 44).
+
+ Type special note: The nickname is the descriptive name given instead
+ of or in addition to the one belonging to a person, place, or thing.
+ It can also be used to specify a familiar form of a proper name
+ specified by the FN or N types.
+
+ Type example:
+
+ NICKNAME:Robbie
+
+ NICKNAME:Jim,Jimmie
+
+3.1.4 PHOTO Type Definition
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type PHOTO
+
+ Type name: PHOTO
+
+ Type purpose: To specify an image or photograph information that
+ annotates some aspect of the object the vCard represents.
+
+ Type encoding: The encoding MUST be reset to "b" using the ENCODING
+ parameter in order to specify inline, encoded binary data. If the
+ value is referenced by a URI value, then the default encoding of 8bit
+ is used and no explicit ENCODING parameter is needed.
+
+ Type value: A single value. The default is binary value. It can also
+ be reset to uri value. The uri value can be used to specify a value
+ outside of this MIME entity.
+
+ Type special notes: The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to
+ specify the graphic image format type. The TYPE parameter values MUST
+ be one of the IANA registered image formats or a non-standard image
+ format.

+
+ Type name: ADR
+
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 11]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ Type purpose: To specify the components of the delivery address for
+ the vCard object.
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type value: A single structured text value, separated by the
+ SEMI-COLON character (ASCII decimal 59).
+
+ Type special notes: The structured type value consists of a sequence
+ of address components. The component values MUST be specified in
+ their corresponding position. The structured type value corresponds,
+ in sequence, to the post office box; the extended address; the street
+ address; the locality (e.g., city); the region (e.g., state or
+ province); the postal code; the country name. When a component value
+ is missing, the associated component separator MUST still be
+ specified.
+
+ The text components are separated by the SEMI-COLON character (ASCII
+ decimal 59). Where it makes semantic sense, individual text
+ components can include multiple text values (e.g., a "street"
+ component with multiple lines) separated by the COMMA character
+ (ASCII decimal 44).
+
+ The type can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify the
+ delivery address type. The TYPE parameter values can include "dom" to
+ indicate a domestic delivery address; "intl" to indicate an
+ international delivery address; "postal" to indicate a postal
+ delivery address; "parcel" to indicate a parcel delivery address;
+ "home" to indicate a delivery address for a residence; "work" to
+ indicate delivery address for a place of work; and "pref" to indicate
+ the preferred delivery address when more than one address is
+ specified. These type parameter values can be specified as a
+ parameter list (i.e., "TYPE=dom;TYPE=postal") or as a value list
+ (i.e., "TYPE=dom,postal"). This type is based on semantics of the
+ X.520 geographical and postal addressing attributes. The default is
+ "TYPE=intl,postal,parcel,work". The default can be overridden to some
+ other set of values by specifying one or more alternate values. For
+ example, the default can be reset to "TYPE=dom,postal,work,home" to
+ specify a domestic delivery address for postal delivery to a
+ residence that is also used for work.
+
+ Type example: In this example the post office box and the extended
+ address are absent.
+
+ ADR;TYPE=dom,home,postal,parcel:;;123 Main
+ Street;Any Town;CA;91921-1234

+3.2.2 LABEL Type Definition
+
+ To: ietf-mime-directory@imc.org
+
+ Subject: Registration of text/directory MIME type LABEL
+
+ Type name: LABEL
+
+ Type purpose: To specify the formatted text corresponding to delivery
+ address of the object the vCard represents.
+
+ Type encoding: 8bit
+
+ Type value: A single text value.
+
+ Type special notes: The type value is formatted text that can be used
+ to present a delivery address label for the vCard object. The type
+ can include the type parameter "TYPE" to specify delivery label type.
+ The TYPE parameter values can include "dom" to indicate a domestic
+ delivery label; "intl" to indicate an international delivery label;
+ "postal" to indicate a postal delivery label; "parcel" to indicate a
+ parcel delivery label; "home" to indicate a delivery label for a

+5. Differences From vCard v2.1
+
+ This specification has been reviewed by the IETF community. The
+ review process introduced a number of differences from the [VCARD]
+ version 2.1. These differences require that vCard objects conforming
+ to this specification have a different version number than a vCard
+ conforming to [VCARD]. The differences include the following:
+
+ . The QUOTED-PRINTABLE inline encoding has been eliminated.
+ Only the "B" encoding of [RFC 2047] is an allowed value for
+ the ENCODING parameter.
+
+ . The method for specifying CRLF character sequences in text
+ type values has been changed. The CRLF character sequence in
+ a text type value is specified with the backslash character
+ sequence "\n" or "\N".
+
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 37]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ . Any COMMA or SEMICOLON in a text type value must be backslash
+ escaped.
+
+ . VERSION value corresponding to this specification MUST be
+ "3.0".
+
+ . The [MIME-DIR] predefined types of SOURCE, NAME and PROFILE
+ are allowed.
+
+ . The [MIME-DIR] VALUE type parameter for value data typing is
+ allowed. In addition, there are extensions made to these type
+ values for additional value types used in this specification.
+
+ . The [VCARD] CHARSET type parameter has been eliminated.
+ Character set can only be specified on the CHARSET parameter
+ on the Content-Type MIME header field.
+
+ . The [VCARD] support for non-significant WSP character has
+ been eliminated.
+
+ . The "TYPE=" prefix to parameter values is required. In
+ [VCARD] this was optional.
+
+ . LOGO, PHOTO and SOUND multimedia formats MUST be either IANA
+ registered types or non-standard types.
+
+ . Inline binary content must be "B" encoded and folded. A blank
+ line after the encoded binary content is no longer required.
+
+ . TEL values can be identified as personal communication
+ services telephone numbers with the PCS type parameter value.
+
+ . The CATEGORIES, CLASS, NICKNAME, PRODID and SORT-STRING types
+ have been added.
+
+ . The VERSION, N and FN types MUST be specified in a vCard.
+ This identifies the version of the specification that the
+ object was formatted to. It also assures that every vCard
+ will include both a structured and formatted name that can be
+ used to identify the object.

+8. Security Considerations
+
+ vCards can carry cryptographic keys or certificates, as described in
+ Section 3.7.2.
+
+ Section 3.7.1 specifies a desired security classification policy for
+ a particular vCard. That policy is not enforced in any way.
+
+ The vCard objects have no inherent authentication or privacy, but can
+ easily be carried by any security mechanism that transfers MIME
+ objects with authentication or privacy. In cases where threats of
+ "spoofed" vCard information is a concern, the vCard SHOULD BE
+
+
+
+Dawson & Howes Standards Track [Page 39]
+
+RFC 2426 vCard MIME Directory Profile September 1998
+
+
+ transported using one of these secure mechanisms.
+
+ The information in a vCard may become out of date. In cases where the
+ vitality of data is important to an originator of a vCard, the "URL"
+ type described in section 3.6.8 SHOULD BE specified. In addition, the
+ "REV" type described in section 3.6.4 can be specified to indicate
+ the last time that the vCard data was updated.
