XML Technical Committee
Established February 2008
Charter
TC-XML will develop a two-way reference mapping of iCalendar to XML.
- The TC will consider prior art wherever possible, such as the xCalendar
Internet Draft document http://tools.ietf.org/draft/draft-hare-xcalendar/draft-hare-xcalendar-03.txt.
- The TC will produce a document that completely describes the iCalendar to XML
mapping, and the XML to iCalendar mapping.
- The main audience for the document will be software developers who want
to implement the mapping.
- The TC will work with other CalConnect TCs as necessary to produce this work.
Goals
- Define a mapping of iCalendar so that the same iCalendar input always
produces the same XML result.
- Define a mapping of XML to iCalendar so that the same XML input always
products the same iCalendar result.
- Define a mapping so that both XML and iCalendar input can be round-tripped
whenever possible without losing or changing content.
- Define a mapping which results in a destination representation which is
just as concise as the source representation.
- Propose a MIME media type that can be used to transport the XML version
of the iCalendar data.
- Submit the resulting specification to the IETF as an RFC.
- Inform and be informed by the current IETF work on vCard.
Non-goals
- Changing or improving the iCalendar specification.
