Welcome to CalConnect
Welcome to CalConnectSM, The Calendaring and Scheduling
Consortium. The Consortium is focused on the interoperable
exchange of calendaring and scheduling information between dissimilar programs,
platforms, and technologies. The Consortium's mission is to promote general
understanding of and provide mechanisms to allow interoperable calendaring and scheduling
methodologies, tools and applications to enter the mainstream of computing.
Recent Developments (as of July 21, 2010)
- 21-Jul-10 CalConnect Interoperability Test Event May 2010 Public Report Published:
The public report from the CalConnect Interoperability Test Event on May 24-26 2010
has been published. This event was hosted by Carnegie Mellon University in conjunction with
Roundtable XVIII. Please see
May 2010 CalConnect Interoperability Test Event Report.
- 09-Jul-10 LINK Property and Timezone Service and XML documents published:
TC EVENTPUB has published its LINK Property Extension to iCalendar, and the
proposal has been submitted to the IETF as an Internet Draft.
Please see
LINK Property Extension to iCalendar. This proposal introduces a new iCalendar property
LINK to provide ancillary information for iCalendar components.
TC TIMEZONE has published Timezone Service Protocol and Timezone XML Specification,
and the proposals have been submitted to the IETF as Internet Drafts.
Please see
Timezone Service Protocol and
Timezone XML Specification. The Timezone Service Protocol defines a timezone service protocol that allows reliable, secure and fast delivery of timezone information to client systems such as calendaring and scheduling applications or operating systems.
The Timezone XML Specification describes a format for describing timezone information for software and services.
CalConnect Proposals are experimental specifications which may be submitted to the
IETF or other standards bodies for progression to become standards.

TC XML has put its in-progress work document, Cal-WS Web Services API for
Calendaring and Scheduling, out for 30-day Public Review and Comment. This
work has been undertaken in conjunction with the NIST Smart Grid Standards Roadmap
effort and with OASIS and the OASIS WS-Calendar Technical Committee.
Please see Public Review Documents

for calendaring and scheduling. A resource in the scheduling context is any shared
entity that can be scheduled by a calendar user, but does not control its own attendance status.
CalConnect Proposals are experimental specifications which may be submitted to the
IETF or other standards bodies for progression to become standards.
