i+1. Introduction Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The use of calendaring and scheduling has grown considerably in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ last decade. Enterprise and inter-enterprise business has become Err bitreich.org 70
i+ dependent on rapid scheduling of events and actions using this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information technology. This memo is intended to progress the level Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of interoperability possible between dissimilar calendaring and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ scheduling applications. This memo defines a MIME content type for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ exchanging electronic calendaring and scheduling information. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification, or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar, allows for the capture and exchange of information Err bitreich.org 70
i+ normally stored within a calendaring and scheduling application; such Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as a Personal Information Manager (PIM) or a Group-Scheduling Err bitreich.org 70
i+ product. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The iCalendar format is suitable as an exchange format between Err bitreich.org 70
i+ applications or systems. The format is defined in terms of a MIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ content type. This will enable the object to be exchanged using Err bitreich.org 70
i+ several transports, including but not limited to SMTP, HTTP, a file Err bitreich.org 70
i+ system, desktop interactive protocols such as the use of a memory- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ based clipboard or drag/drop interactions, point-to-point Err bitreich.org 70
i+ asynchronous communication, wired-network transport, or some form of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ unwired transport such as infrared. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The memo also provides for the definition of iCalendar object methods Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that will map this content type to a set of messages for supporting Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendaring and scheduling operations such as requesting, replying Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to, modifying, and canceling meetings or appointments, to-dos, and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ journal entries. The iCalendar object methods can be used to define Err bitreich.org 70
i+ other calendaring and scheduling operations such as requesting for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and replying with free/busy time data. Such a scheduling protocol is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined in the iCalendar Transport-independent Interoperability Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Protocol (iTIP) defined in [2446bis]. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The memo also includes a formal grammar for the content type based on Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the Internet ABNF defined in [RFC5234]. This ABNF is required for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the implementation of parsers and to serve as the definitive Err bitreich.org 70
i+ reference when ambiguities or questions arise in interpreting the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ descriptive prose definition of the memo. Additional restrictions Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This memo makes use of both a descriptive prose and a more formal Err bitreich.org 70
i+ notation for defining the calendaring and scheduling format. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The notation used in this memo is the ABNF notation of [RFC5234]. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Readers intending on implementing the format defined in this memo Err bitreich.org 70
i+ should be familiar with this notation in order to properly interpret Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the specifications of this memo. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ All numeric values used in this memo are given in decimal notation. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ All names of properties, property parameters, enumerated property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ values, and property parameter values are case-insensitive. However, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ all other property values are case-sensitive, unless otherwise Err bitreich.org 70
i+ stated. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Note: All indented editorial notes, such as this one, are intended Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to provide the reader with additional information. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information is not essential to the building of an implementation Err bitreich.org 70
i+ conformant with this memo. The information is provided to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ highlight a particular feature or characteristic of the memo. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The format for the iCalendar object is based on the syntax of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ text/directory media type [RFC2425]. While the iCalendar object is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ not a profile of the text/directory media type [RFC2425], it does Err bitreich.org 70
i+ reuse a number of the elements from the [RFC2425] specification. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+2.1. Formatting Conventions Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The elements defined in this memo are defined in prose. Many of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ terms used to describe these have common usage that is different than Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the standards usage of this memo. In order to reference, within this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ memo, elements of the calendaring and scheduling model, core object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ (this memo), or interoperability protocol [2446bis] some formatting Err bitreich.org 70
i+ conventions have been used. Calendaring and scheduling roles are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ referred to in quoted-strings of text with the first character of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ each word in uppercase. For example, "Organizer" refers to a role of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a "Calendar User" within the scheduling protocol defined by Err bitreich.org 70
i+ [2446bis]. Calendar components defined by this memo are referred to Err bitreich.org 70

i+RFC 5545 iCalendar September 2009 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ with capitalized, quoted-strings of text. All calendar components Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start with the letter "V". For example, "VEVENT" refers to the event Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component, "VTODO" refers to the to-do calendar component, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and "VJOURNAL" refers to the daily journal calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Scheduling methods defined by iTIP [2446bis] are referred to with Err bitreich.org 70
i+ capitalized, quoted-strings of text. For example, "REQUEST" refers Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to the method for requesting a scheduling calendar component be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ created or modified, and "REPLY" refers to the method a recipient of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a request uses to update their status with the "Organizer" of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The properties defined by this memo are referred to with capitalized, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ quoted-strings of text, followed by the word "property". For Err bitreich.org 70
i+ example, "ATTENDEE" property refers to the iCalendar property used to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ convey the calendar address of a calendar user. Property parameters Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined by this memo are referred to with lowercase, quoted-strings Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of text, followed by the word "parameter". For example, "value" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameter refers to the iCalendar property parameter used to override Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the default value type for a property value. Enumerated values Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined by this memo are referred to with capitalized text, either Err bitreich.org 70
i+ alone or followed by the word "value". For example, the "MINUTELY" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value can be used with the "FREQ" component of the "RECUR" value type Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to specify repeating components based on an interval of one minute or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ more. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Implementers will need to be familiar with several other memos that, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ along with this memo, form a framework for Internet calendaring and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ scheduling standards. This memo specifies a core specification of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ objects, value types, properties, and property parameters. Err bitreich.org 70

i+3. iCalendar Object Specification Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The following sections define the details of a Calendaring and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Scheduling Core Object Specification. The Calendaring and Scheduling Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Core Object is a collection of calendaring and scheduling Err bitreich.org 70

i+ This information is intended to be an integral part of the MIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ content type registration. In addition, this information can be used Err bitreich.org 70
i+ independent of such content registration. In particular, this memo Err bitreich.org 70
i+ has direct applicability for use as a calendaring and scheduling Err bitreich.org 70
i+ exchange format in file-, memory-, or network-based transport Err bitreich.org 70
i+ mechanisms. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+3.1. Content Lines Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The iCalendar object is organized into individual lines of text, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ called content lines. Content lines are delimited by a line break, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ which is a CRLF sequence (CR character followed by LF character). Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Lines of text SHOULD NOT be longer than 75 octets, excluding the line Err bitreich.org 70
i+ break. Long content lines SHOULD be split into a multiple line Err bitreich.org 70
i+ representations using a line "folding" technique. That is, a long Err bitreich.org 70
i+ line can be split between any two characters by inserting a CRLF Err bitreich.org 70
i+ immediately followed by a single linear white-space character (i.e., Err bitreich.org 70
i+ SPACE or HTAB). Any sequence of CRLF followed immediately by a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ single linear white-space character is ignored (i.e., removed) when Err bitreich.org 70
i+ processing the content type. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ For example, the line: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ DESCRIPTION:This is a long description that exists on a long line. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Can be represented as: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ DESCRIPTION:This is a lo Err bitreich.org 70
i+ ng description Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that exists on a long line. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The process of moving from this folded multiple-line representation Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to its single-line representation is called "unfolding". Unfolding Err bitreich.org 70
i+ is accomplished by removing the CRLF and the linear white-space Err bitreich.org 70
i+ character that immediately follows. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Note: It is possible for very simple implementations to generate Err bitreich.org 70

i+3.1.2. Multiple Values Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Some properties defined in the iCalendar object can have multiple Err bitreich.org 70
i+ values. The general rule for encoding multi-valued items is to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ simply create a new content line for each value, including the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property name. However, it should be noted that some properties Err bitreich.org 70
i+ support encoding multiple values in a single property by separating Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the values with a COMMA character. Individual property definitions Err bitreich.org 70
i+ should be consulted for determining whether a specific property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ allows multiple values and in which of these two forms. Multi-valued Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties MUST NOT be used to specify multiple language variants of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the same value. Calendar applications SHOULD display all values. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+3.1.3. Binary Content Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Binary content information in an iCalendar object SHOULD be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ referenced using a URI within a property value. That is, the binary Err bitreich.org 70
i+ content information SHOULD be placed in an external MIME entity that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can be referenced by a URI from within the iCalendar object. In Err bitreich.org 70
i+ applications where this is not feasible, binary content information Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can be included within an iCalendar object, but only after first Err bitreich.org 70
i+ encoding it into text using the "BASE64" encoding method defined in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ [RFC4648]. Inline binary content SHOULD only be used in applications Err bitreich.org 70
i+ whose special circumstances demand that an iCalendar object be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ expressed as a single entity. A property containing inline binary Err bitreich.org 70
i+ content information MUST specify the "ENCODING" property parameter. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Binary content information placed external to the iCalendar object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST be referenced by a uniform resource identifier (URI). Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The following example specifies an "ATTACH" property that references Err bitreich.org 70
i+ an attachment external to the iCalendar object with a URI reference: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70

i+3.1.4. Character Set Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ There is not a property parameter to declare the charset used in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property value. The default charset for an iCalendar stream is UTF-8 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as defined in [RFC3629]. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "charset" Content-Type parameter MUST be used in MIME transports Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to specify the charset being used. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+3.2. Property Parameters Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ A property can have attributes with which it is associated. These Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "property parameters" contain meta-information about the property or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the property value. Property parameters are provided to specify such Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information as the location of an alternate text representation for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property value, the language of a text property value, the value type Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of the property value, and other attributes. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property parameter values that contain the COLON, SEMICOLON, or COMMA Err bitreich.org 70
i+ character separators MUST be specified as quoted-string text values. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property parameter values MUST NOT contain the DQUOTE character. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ DQUOTE character is used as a delimiter for parameter values that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ contain restricted characters or URI text. For example: Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The properties in an iCalendar object are strongly typed. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ definition of each property restricts the value to be one of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value data types, or simply value types, defined in this section. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The value type for a property will either be specified implicitly as Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the default value type or will be explicitly specified with the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VALUE" parameter. If the value type of a property is one of the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Name: BINARY Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This value type is used to identify properties that contain Err bitreich.org 70

i+ notation: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ binary = *(4b-char) [b-end] Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: If the property permits, multiple "date" values are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified as a COMMA-separated list of values. The format for the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value type is based on the [ISO.8601.2004] complete Err bitreich.org 70
i+ representation, basic format for a calendar date. The textual Err bitreich.org 70
i+ format specifies a four-digit year, two-digit month, and two-digit Err bitreich.org 70

i+ are specified as a COMMA-separated list of values. No additional Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Section 3.3.11) is defined for this value type. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "DATE-TIME" value type is used to identify values that contain Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a precise calendar date and time of day. The format is based on Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the [ISO.8601.2004] complete representation, basic format for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar date and time of day. The text format is a concatenation Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of the "date", followed by the LATIN CAPITAL LETTER T character, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the time designator, followed by the "time" format. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "DATE-TIME" value type expresses time values in three forms: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The form of date and time with UTC offset MUST NOT be used. For Err bitreich.org 70
i+ example, the following is not valid for a DATE-TIME value: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 19980119T230000-0800 ;Invalid time format Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ FORM #1: DATE WITH LOCAL TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The date with local time form is simply a DATE-TIME value that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ does not contain the UTC designator nor does it reference a time Err bitreich.org 70
i+ zone. For example, the following represents January 18, 1998, at Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 11 PM: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 19980118T230000 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ DATE-TIME values of this type are said to be "floating" and are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ not bound to any time zone in particular. They are used to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ represent the same hour, minute, and second value regardless of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ which time zone is currently being observed. For example, an Err bitreich.org 70
i+ event can be defined that indicates that an individual will be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ busy from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM every day, no matter which time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the person is in. In these cases, a local time can be specified. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The recipient of an iCalendar object with a property value Err bitreich.org 70
i+ consisting of a local time, without any relative time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information, SHOULD interpret the value as being fixed to whatever Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time zone the "ATTENDEE" is in at any given moment. This means Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that two "Attendees", in different time zones, receiving the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ event definition as a floating time, may be participating in the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ used where that is the reasonable behavior. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In most cases, a fixed time is desired. To properly communicate a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ fixed time in a property value, either UTC time or local time with Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time zone reference MUST be specified. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The use of local time in a DATE-TIME value without the "TZID" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property parameter is to be interpreted as floating time, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ regardless of the existence of "VTIMEZONE" calendar components in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the iCalendar object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ FORM #2: DATE WITH UTC TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The date with UTC time, or absolute time, is identified by a LATIN Err bitreich.org 70
i+ CAPITAL LETTER Z suffix character, the UTC designator, appended to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the time value. For example, the following represents January 19, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1998, at 0700 UTC: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 19980119T070000Z Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "TZID" property parameter MUST NOT be applied to DATE-TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties whose time values are specified in UTC. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ FORM #3: DATE WITH LOCAL TIME AND TIME ZONE REFERENCE Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The date and local time with reference to time zone information is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ identified by the use the "TZID" property parameter to reference Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the appropriate time zone definition. "TZID" is discussed in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ detail in Section 3.2.19. For example, the following represents Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 2:00 A.M. in New York on January 19, 1998: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ TZID=America/New_York:19980119T020000 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ If, based on the definition of the referenced time zone, the local Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time described occurs more than once (when changing from daylight Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to standard time), the DATE-TIME value refers to the first Err bitreich.org 70
i+ occurrence of the referenced time. Thus, TZID=America/ Err bitreich.org 70

i+ The duration of a week or a day depends on its position in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar. In the case of discontinuities in the time scale, such Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as the change from standard time to daylight time and back, the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ computation of the exact duration requires the subtraction or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ addition of the change of duration of the discontinuity. Leap Err bitreich.org 70
i+ seconds MUST NOT be considered when computing an exact duration. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ When computing an exact duration, the greatest order time Err bitreich.org 70
i+ components MUST be added first, that is, the number of days MUST Err bitreich.org 70

i+ The INTERVAL rule part contains a positive integer representing at Err bitreich.org 70
i+ which intervals the recurrence rule repeats. The default value is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "1", meaning every second for a SECONDLY rule, every minute for a Err bitreich.org 70

i+ DAILY rule, every week for a WEEKLY rule, every month for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MONTHLY rule, and every year for a YEARLY rule. For example, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ within a DAILY rule, a value of "8" means every eight days. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The UNTIL rule part defines a DATE or DATE-TIME value that bounds Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the recurrence rule in an inclusive manner. If the value Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified by UNTIL is synchronized with the specified recurrence, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ this DATE or DATE-TIME becomes the last instance of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence. The value of the UNTIL rule part MUST have the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value type as the "DTSTART" property. Furthermore, if the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTSTART" property is specified as a date with local time, then Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the UNTIL rule part MUST also be specified as a date with local Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time. If the "DTSTART" property is specified as a date with UTC Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time or a date with local time and time zone reference, then the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ UNTIL rule part MUST be specified as a date with UTC time. In the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ case of the "STANDARD" and "DAYLIGHT" sub-components the UNTIL Err bitreich.org 70
i+ rule part MUST always be specified as a date with UTC time. If Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified as a DATE-TIME value, then it MUST be specified in a UTC Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time format. If not present, and the COUNT rule part is also not Err bitreich.org 70
i+ present, the "RRULE" is considered to repeat forever. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The COUNT rule part defines the number of occurrences at which to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ range-bound the recurrence. The "DTSTART" property value always Err bitreich.org 70
i+ counts as the first occurrence. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The BYSECOND rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of seconds Err bitreich.org 70

i+ part specifies a COMMA-separated list of minutes within an hour. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Valid values are 0 to 59. The BYHOUR rule part specifies a COMMA- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ separated list of hours of the day. Valid values are 0 to 23. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ For example, within a MONTHLY rule, +1MO (or simply 1MO) Err bitreich.org 70
i+ represents the first Monday within the month, whereas -1MO Err bitreich.org 70
i+ represents the last Monday of the month. The numeric value in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ BYDAY rule part with the FREQ rule part set to YEARLY corresponds Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to an offset within the month when the BYMONTH rule part is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ present, and corresponds to an offset within the year when the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ BYWEEKNO or BYMONTH rule parts are present. If an integer Err bitreich.org 70
i+ modifier is not present, it means all days of this type within the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified frequency. For example, within a MONTHLY rule, MO Err bitreich.org 70
i+ represents all Mondays within the month. The BYDAY rule part MUST Err bitreich.org 70
i+ NOT be specified with a numeric value when the FREQ rule part is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ not set to MONTHLY or YEARLY. Furthermore, the BYDAY rule part Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The BYMONTHDAY rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of days Err bitreich.org 70

i+ example, -10 represents the tenth to the last day of the month. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ part is set to WEEKLY. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The BYYEARDAY rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of days Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of the year. Valid values are 1 to 366 or -366 to -1. For Err bitreich.org 70
i+ example, -1 represents the last day of the year (December 31st) Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and -306 represents the 306th to the last day of the year (March Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1st). The BYYEARDAY rule part MUST NOT be specified when the FREQ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ rule part is set to DAILY, WEEKLY, or MONTHLY. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The BYWEEKNO rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ ordinals specifying weeks of the year. Valid values are 1 to 53 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ or -53 to -1. This corresponds to weeks according to week Err bitreich.org 70
i+ numbering as defined in [ISO.8601.2004]. A week is defined as a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ seven day period, starting on the day of the week defined to be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the week start (see WKST). Week number one of the calendar year Err bitreich.org 70
i+ is the first week that contains at least four (4) days in that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar year. This rule part MUST NOT be used when the FREQ rule Err bitreich.org 70
i+ part is set to anything other than YEARLY. For example, 3 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ represents the third week of the year. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ The BYSETPOS rule part specifies a COMMA-separated list of values Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Information, not contained in the rule, necessary to determine the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ various recurrence instance start time and dates are derived from Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the Start Time ("DTSTART") component attribute. For example, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "FREQ=YEARLY;BYMONTH=1" doesn't specify a specific day within the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ month or a time. This information would be the same as what is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified for "DTSTART". Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ BYxxx rule parts modify the recurrence in some manner. BYxxx rule Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parts for a period of time that is the same or greater than the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ frequency generally reduce or limit the number of occurrences of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the recurrence generated. For example, "FREQ=DAILY;BYMONTH=1" Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Section 3.3.11) is defined for this value type. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "TIME" value type is used to identify values that contain a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time of day. The format is based on the [ISO.8601.2004] complete Err bitreich.org 70
i+ representation, basic format for a time of day. The text format Err bitreich.org 70
i+ consists of a two-digit, 24-hour of the day (i.e., values 00-23), Err bitreich.org 70
i+ two-digit minute in the hour (i.e., values 00-59), and two-digit Err bitreich.org 70
i+ seconds in the minute (i.e., values 00-60). The seconds value of Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Fractions of a second are not supported by this format. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In parallel to the "DATE-TIME" definition above, the "TIME" value Err bitreich.org 70
i+ type expresses time values in three forms: Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ FORM #1 LOCAL TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The local time form is simply a time value that does not contain Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Time values of this type are said to be "floating" and are not Err bitreich.org 70
i+ bound to any time zone in particular. They are used to represent Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the same hour, minute, and second value regardless of which time Err bitreich.org 70

i+ of an iCalendar object with a property value consisting of a local Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time, without any relative time zone information, SHOULD interpret Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the value as being fixed to whatever time zone the "ATTENDEE" is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in at any given moment. This means that two "Attendees", may Err bitreich.org 70
i+ participate in the same event at different UTC times; floating Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The use of local time in a TIME value without the "TZID" property Err bitreich.org 70

i+3.4. iCalendar Object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object is a collection of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendaring and scheduling information. Typically, this information Err bitreich.org 70
i+ will consist of an iCalendar stream with a single iCalendar object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ However, multiple iCalendar objects can be sequentially grouped Err bitreich.org 70
i+ together in an iCalendar stream. The first line and last line of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar object MUST contain a pair of iCalendar object delimiter Err bitreich.org 70
i+ strings. The syntax for an iCalendar stream is as follows: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ icalstream = 1*icalobject Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ icalobject = "BEGIN" ":" "VCALENDAR" CRLF Err bitreich.org 70

i+3.5. Property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ A property is the definition of an individual attribute describing a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar object or a calendar component. A property takes the form Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined by the "contentline" notation defined in Section 3.1. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The following is an example of a property: Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This memo imposes no ordering of properties within an iCalendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property names, parameter names, and enumerated parameter values are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ case-insensitive. For example, the property name "DUE" is the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as "due" and "Due", DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:19980714T120000 is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the same as DtStart;TzID=America/New_York:19980714T120000. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+3.6. Calendar Components Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The body of the iCalendar object consists of a sequence of calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties and one or more calendar components. The calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties are attributes that apply to the calendar object as a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ whole. The calendar components are collections of properties that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ express a particular calendar semantic. For example, the calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component can specify an event, a to-do, a journal entry, time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information, free/busy time information, or an alarm. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The body of the iCalendar object is defined by the following Err bitreich.org 70

i+ or time zone (i.e., only a "VTIMEZONE" calendar component) Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information. In addition, a complex iCalendar object that is used to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ capture a complete snapshot of the contents of a calendar is possible Err bitreich.org 70
i+ (e.g., composite of many different calendar components). More Err bitreich.org 70
i+ commonly, an iCalendar object will consist of just a single "VEVENT", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL" calendar component. Applications MUST ignore Err bitreich.org 70
i+ x-comp and iana-comp values they don't recognize. Applications that Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Description: A "VEVENT" calendar component is a grouping of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component properties, possibly including "VALARM" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ components, that represents a scheduled amount of time on a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar. For example, it can be an activity; such as a one-hour Err bitreich.org 70
i+ long, department meeting from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, tomorrow. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Generally, an event will take up time on an individual calendar. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Hence, the event will appear as an opaque interval in a search for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ busy time. Alternately, the event can have its Time Transparency Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ set to "TRANSPARENT" in order to prevent blocking of the event in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ searches for busy time. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VEVENT" is also the calendar component used to specify an Err bitreich.org 70
i+ anniversary or daily reminder within a calendar. These events Err bitreich.org 70
i+ have a DATE value type for the "DTSTART" property instead of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ default value type of DATE-TIME. If such a "VEVENT" has a "DTEND" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property, it MUST be specified as a DATE value also. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ anniversary type of "VEVENT" can span more than one date (i.e., Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTEND" property value is set to a calendar date after the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTSTART" property value). If such a "VEVENT" has a "DURATION" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property, it MUST be specified as a "dur-day" or "dur-week" value. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "DTSTART" property for a "VEVENT" specifies the inclusive Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start of the event. For recurring events, it also specifies the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ very first instance in the recurrence set. The "DTEND" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ for a "VEVENT" calendar component specifies the non-inclusive end Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of the event. For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specifies a "DTSTART" property with a DATE value type but no Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTEND" nor "DURATION" property, the event's duration is taken to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be one day. For cases where a "VEVENT" calendar component Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specifies a "DTSTART" property with a DATE-TIME value type but no Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTEND" property, the event ends on the same calendar date and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time of day specified by the "DTSTART" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VEVENT" calendar component cannot be nested within another Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. However, "VEVENT" calendar components can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ related to each other or to a "VTODO" or to a "VJOURNAL" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component with the "RELATED-TO" property. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ The "VFREEBUSY" calendar component cannot be nested within another Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Multiple "VFREEBUSY" calendar components can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be specified within an iCalendar object. This permits the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ as monthly groups of busy time information. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VFREEBUSY" calendar component is intended for use in Err bitreich.org 70

i+ requests for busy time, requests for both free and busy, and the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ associated replies. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Free/Busy information is represented with the "FREEBUSY" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This property provides a terse representation of time periods. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ One or more "FREEBUSY" properties can be specified in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VFREEBUSY" calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ When present in a "VFREEBUSY" calendar component, the "DTSTART" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and "DTEND" properties SHOULD be specified prior to any "FREEBUSY" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The recurrence properties ("RRULE", "RDATE", "EXDATE") are not Err bitreich.org 70
i+ permitted within a "VFREEBUSY" calendar component. Any recurring Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Interoperability between two calendaring and scheduling Err bitreich.org 70
i+ applications, especially for recurring events, to-dos or journal Err bitreich.org 70
i+ entries, is dependent on the ability to capture and convey date Err bitreich.org 70

i+ of current time zone information is integral to this behavior. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ If present, the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component defines the set of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time observances (or rules) for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a particular time zone for a given interval of time. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VTIMEZONE" calendar component cannot be nested within other Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar components. Multiple "VTIMEZONE" calendar components can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ exist in an iCalendar object. In this situation, each "VTIMEZONE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST represent a unique time zone definition. This is necessary Err bitreich.org 70
i+ for some classes of events, such as airline flights, that start in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ one time zone and end in another. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VTIMEZONE" calendar component MUST include the "TZID" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property and at least one definition of a "STANDARD" or "DAYLIGHT" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ sub-component. The "STANDARD" or "DAYLIGHT" sub-component MUST Err bitreich.org 70
i+ include the "DTSTART", "TZOFFSETFROM", and "TZOFFSETTO" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ An individual "VTIMEZONE" calendar component MUST be specified for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ each unique "TZID" parameter value specified in the iCalendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ object. In addition, a "VTIMEZONE" calendar component, referred Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to by a recurring calendar component, MUST provide valid time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information for all recurrence instances. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Each "VTIMEZONE" calendar component consists of a collection of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ one or more sub-components that describe the rule for a particular Err bitreich.org 70
i+ observance (either a Standard Time or a Daylight Saving Time Err bitreich.org 70
i+ observance). The "STANDARD" sub-component consists of a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ collection of properties that describe Standard Time. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DAYLIGHT" sub-component consists of a collection of properties Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that describe Daylight Saving Time. In general, this collection Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of properties consists of: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * the first onset DATE-TIME for the observance; Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * the last onset DATE-TIME for the observance, if a last onset is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ known; Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * the offset to be applied for the observance; Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * a rule that describes the day and time when the observance Err bitreich.org 70
i+ takes effect; Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70

i+ For a given time zone, there may be multiple unique definitions of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the observances over a period of time. Each observance is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ described using either a "STANDARD" or "DAYLIGHT" sub-component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The collection of these sub-components is used to describe the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time zone for a given period of time. The offset to apply at any Err bitreich.org 70
i+ given time is found by locating the observance that has the last Err bitreich.org 70
i+ onset date and time before the time in question, and using the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ offset value from that observance. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The top-level properties in a "VTIMEZONE" calendar component are: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The mandatory "TZID" property is a text value that uniquely Err bitreich.org 70
i+ identifies the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component within the scope of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ an iCalendar object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The optional "LAST-MODIFIED" property is a UTC value that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specifies the date and time that this time zone definition was Err bitreich.org 70
i+ last updated. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The optional "TZURL" property is a url value that points to a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ published "VTIMEZONE" definition. "TZURL" SHOULD refer to a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ resource that is accessible by anyone who might need to interpret Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the object. This SHOULD NOT normally be a "file" URL or other URL Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that is not widely accessible. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The collection of properties that are used to define the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "STANDARD" and "DAYLIGHT" sub-components include: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The mandatory "DTSTART" property gives the effective onset date Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and local time for the time zone sub-component definition. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTSTART" in this usage MUST be specified as a date with a local Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time value. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The mandatory "TZOFFSETFROM" property gives the UTC offset that is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in use when the onset of this time zone observance begins. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "TZOFFSETFROM" is combined with "DTSTART" to define the effective Err bitreich.org 70
i+ onset for the time zone sub-component definition. For example, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the following represents the time at which the observance of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Standard Time took effect in Fall 1967 for New York City: Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The mandatory "TZOFFSETTO" property gives the UTC offset for the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The onset DATE-TIME values for the observance defined by the time Err bitreich.org 70

i+ specific requirements for the usage of "RRULE" for this purpose Err bitreich.org 70
i+ include: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * If observance is known to have an effective end date, the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "UNTIL" recurrence rule parameter MUST be used to specify the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ last valid onset of this observance (i.e., the UNTIL DATE-TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ will be equal to the last instance generated by the recurrence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ pattern). It MUST be specified in UTC time. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ * The "DTSTART" and the "TZOFFSETFROM" properties MUST be used Err bitreich.org 70
i+ when generating the onset DATE-TIME values (instances) from the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RRULE". Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "RDATE" property can also be used to define the onset of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ observance by giving the individual onset date and times. "RDATE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in this usage MUST be specified as a date with local time value, Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Description: A "VALARM" calendar component is a grouping of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component properties that is a reminder or alarm for an event or a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to-do. For example, it may be used to define a reminder for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ pending event or an overdue to-do. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VALARM" calendar component MUST include the "ACTION" and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "TRIGGER" properties. The "ACTION" property further constrains Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "VALARM" calendar component in the following ways: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ When the action is "AUDIO", the alarm can also include one and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ only one "ATTACH" property, which MUST point to a sound resource, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ which is rendered when the alarm is triggered. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ When the action is "DISPLAY", the alarm MUST also include a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DESCRIPTION" property, which contains the text to be displayed Err bitreich.org 70
i+ when the alarm is triggered. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ When the action is "EMAIL", the alarm MUST include a "DESCRIPTION" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property, which contains the text to be used as the message body, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a "SUMMARY" property, which contains the text to be used as the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ message subject, and one or more "ATTENDEE" properties, which Err bitreich.org 70
i+ contain the email address of attendees to receive the message. It Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can also include one or more "ATTACH" properties, which are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ intended to be sent as message attachments. When the alarm is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ triggered, the email message is sent. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "VALARM" calendar component MUST only appear within either a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VEVENT" or "VTODO" calendar component. "VALARM" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ components cannot be nested. Multiple mutually independent Err bitreich.org 70

i+ "VALARM" calendar components can be specified for a single Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VEVENT" or "VTODO" calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "TRIGGER" property specifies when the alarm will be triggered. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "TRIGGER" property specifies a duration prior to the start of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ an event or a to-do. The "TRIGGER" edge may be explicitly set to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be relative to the "START" or "END" of the event or to-do with the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RELATED" parameter of the "TRIGGER" property. The "TRIGGER" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property value type can alternatively be set to an absolute Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar date with UTC time. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In an alarm set to trigger on the "START" of an event or to-do, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "DTSTART" property MUST be present in the associated event or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to-do. In an alarm in a "VEVENT" calendar component set to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ trigger on the "END" of the event, either the "DTEND" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST be present, or the "DTSTART" and "DURATION" properties MUST Err bitreich.org 70
i+ both be present. In an alarm in a "VTODO" calendar component set Err bitreich.org 70
i+ to trigger on the "END" of the to-do, either the "DUE" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST be present, or the "DTSTART" and "DURATION" properties MUST Err bitreich.org 70
i+ both be present. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The alarm can be defined such that it triggers repeatedly. A Err bitreich.org 70
i+ definition of an alarm with a repeating trigger MUST include both Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "DURATION" and "REPEAT" properties. The "DURATION" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specifies the delay period, after which the alarm will repeat. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "REPEAT" property specifies the number of additional Err bitreich.org 70
i+ repetitions that the alarm will be triggered. This repetition Err bitreich.org 70
i+ count is in addition to the initial triggering of the alarm. Both Err bitreich.org 70
i+ of these properties MUST be present in order to specify a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ repeating alarm. If one of these two properties is absent, then Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the alarm will not repeat beyond the initial trigger. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "ACTION" property is used within the "VALARM" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component to specify the type of action invoked when the alarm is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ triggered. The "VALARM" properties provide enough information for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a specific action to be invoked. It is typically the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ responsibility of a "Calendar User Agent" (CUA) to deliver the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ alarm in the specified fashion. An "ACTION" property value of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ AUDIO specifies an alarm that causes a sound to be played to alert Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the user; DISPLAY specifies an alarm that causes a text message to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be displayed to the user; and EMAIL specifies an alarm that causes Err bitreich.org 70
i+ an electronic email message to be delivered to one or more email Err bitreich.org 70
i+ addresses. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In an AUDIO alarm, if the optional "ATTACH" property is included, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ it MUST specify an audio sound resource. The intention is that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the sound will be played as the alarm effect. If an "ATTACH" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property is specified that does not refer to a sound resource, or Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ if the specified sound resource cannot be rendered (because its Err bitreich.org 70
i+ format is unsupported, or because it cannot be retrieved), then Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the CUA or other entity responsible for playing the sound may Err bitreich.org 70
i+ choose a fallback action, such as playing a built-in default Err bitreich.org 70
i+ sound, or playing no sound at all. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In a DISPLAY alarm, the intended alarm effect is for the text Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value of the "DESCRIPTION" property to be displayed to the user. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ In an EMAIL alarm, the intended alarm effect is for an email Err bitreich.org 70
i+ message to be composed and delivered to all the addresses Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified by the "ATTENDEE" properties in the "VALARM" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component. The "DESCRIPTION" property of the "VALARM" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component MUST be used as the body text of the message, and the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "SUMMARY" property MUST be used as the subject text. Any "ATTACH" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties in the "VALARM" calendar component SHOULD be sent as Err bitreich.org 70
i+ attachments to the message. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Note: Implementations should carefully consider whether they Err bitreich.org 70
i+ accept alarm components from untrusted sources, e.g., when Err bitreich.org 70
i+ importing calendar objects from external sources. One Err bitreich.org 70
i+ reasonable policy is to always ignore alarm components that the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar user has not set herself, or at least ask for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ confirmation in such a case. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Example: The following example is for a "VALARM" calendar component Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that specifies an audio alarm that will sound at a precise time Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and repeat 4 more times at 15-minute intervals: Err bitreich.org 70

i+RFC 5545 iCalendar September 2009 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: An access classification is only one component of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ general security system within a calendar application. It Err bitreich.org 70
i+ provides a method of capturing the scope of the access the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar owner intends for information within an individual Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar entry. The access classification of an individual Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar component is useful when measured along with the other Err bitreich.org 70
i+ security components of a calendar system (e.g., calendar user Err bitreich.org 70
i+ authentication, authorization, access rights, access role, etc.). Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Hence, the semantics of the individual access classifications Err bitreich.org 70
i+ cannot be completely defined by this memo alone. Additionally, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ due to the "blind" nature of most exchange processes using this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ memo, these access classifications cannot serve as an enforcement Err bitreich.org 70
i+ statement for a system receiving an iCalendar object. Rather, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ they provide a method for capturing the intention of the calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ owner for the access to the calendar component. If not specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in a component that allows this property, the default value is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ PUBLIC. Applications MUST treat x-name and iana-token values they Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The following properties specify time zone information in calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ components. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+3.8.3.1. Time Zone Identifier Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Name: TZID Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This property specifies the text value that uniquely Err bitreich.org 70
i+ identifies the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component in the scope of an Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Type: TEXT Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: IANA and non-standard property parameters can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be specified on this property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Conformance: This property MUST be specified in a "VTIMEZONE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: This is the label by which a time zone calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component is referenced by any iCalendar properties whose value Err bitreich.org 70
i+ type is either DATE-TIME or TIME and not intended to specify a UTC Err bitreich.org 70
i+ or a "floating" time. The presence of the SOLIDUS character as a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ prefix, indicates that this "TZID" represents an unique ID in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ globally defined time zone registry (when such registry is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined). Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Note: This document does not define a naming convention for Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time zone identifiers. Implementers may want to use the naming Err bitreich.org 70
i+ conventions defined in existing time zone specifications such Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as the public-domain TZ database [TZDB]. The specification of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ globally unique time zone identifiers is not addressed by this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ document and is left for future study. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Description: This property is specified within the "VEVENT", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VTODO", and "VJOURNAL" calendar components to specify the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ organizer of a group-scheduled calendar entity. The property is Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This property is used in conjunction with the "UID" and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "SEQUENCE" properties to identify a specific instance of a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurring "VEVENT", "VTODO", or "VJOURNAL" calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Type: The default value type is DATE-TIME. The value type can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be set to a DATE value type. This property MUST have the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value type as the "DTSTART" property contained within the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurring component. Furthermore, this property MUST be specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ as a date with local time if and only if the "DTSTART" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ contained within the recurring component is specified as a date Err bitreich.org 70
i+ with local time. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, value data type, time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ identifier, and recurrence identifier range parameters can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified on this property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Conformance: This property can be specified in an iCalendar object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ containing a recurring calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: The full range of calendar components specified by a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence set is referenced by referring to just the "UID" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property value corresponding to the calendar component. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RECURRENCE-ID" property allows the reference to an individual Err bitreich.org 70
i+ instance within the recurrence set. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ If the value of the "DTSTART" property is a DATE type value, then Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the value MUST be the calendar date for the recurrence instance. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The DATE-TIME value is set to the time when the original Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence instance would occur; meaning that if the intent is to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ change a Friday meeting to Thursday, the DATE-TIME is still set to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the original Friday meeting. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "RECURRENCE-ID" property is used in conjunction with the "UID" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and "SEQUENCE" properties to identify a particular instance of a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurring event, to-do, or journal. For a given pair of "UID" and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "SEQUENCE" property values, the "RECURRENCE-ID" value for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence instance is fixed. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "RANGE" parameter is used to specify the effective range of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence instances from the instance specified by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RECURRENCE-ID" property value. The value for the range parameter Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can only be "THISANDFUTURE" to indicate a range defined by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ given recurrence instance and all subsequent instances. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Subsequent instances are determined by their "RECURRENCE-ID" value Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and not their current scheduled start time. Subsequent instances Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defined in separate components are not impacted by the given Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence instance. When the given recurrence instance is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ rescheduled, all subsequent instances are also rescheduled by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ same time difference. For instance, if the given recurrence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ instance is rescheduled to start 2 hours later, then all Err bitreich.org 70
i+ subsequent instances are also rescheduled 2 hours later. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Similarly, if the duration of the given recurrence instance is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ modified, then all subsequence instances are also modified to have Err bitreich.org 70
i+ this same duration. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Note: The "RANGE" parameter may not be appropriate to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ reschedule specific subsequent instances of complex recurring Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Assuming an unbounded recurring calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component scheduled to occur on Mondays and Wednesdays, the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RANGE" parameter could not be used to reschedule only the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ future Monday instances to occur on Tuesday instead. In such Err bitreich.org 70
i+ cases, the calendar application could simply truncate the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ unbounded recurring calendar component (i.e., with the "COUNT" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ or "UNTIL" rule parts), and create two new unbounded recurring Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Property Name: RELATED-TO Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This property is used to represent a relationship or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ reference between one calendar component and another. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Type: TEXT Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, and relationship type Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property parameters can be specified on this property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Conformance: This property can be specified in the "VEVENT", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VTODO", and "VJOURNAL" calendar components. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: The property value consists of the persistent, globally Err bitreich.org 70
i+ unique identifier of another calendar component. This value would Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be represented in a calendar component by the "UID" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ By default, the property value points to another calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component that has a PARENT relationship to the referencing Err bitreich.org 70
i+ object. The "RELTYPE" property parameter is used to either Err bitreich.org 70
i+ explicitly state the default PARENT relationship type to the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ referenced calendar component or to override the default PARENT Err bitreich.org 70
i+ relationship type and specify either a CHILD or SIBLING Err bitreich.org 70
i+ relationship. The PARENT relationship indicates that the calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component is a subordinate of the referenced calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The CHILD relationship indicates that the calendar component is a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ superior of the referenced calendar component. The SIBLING Err bitreich.org 70
i+ relationship indicates that the calendar component is a peer of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the referenced calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Changes to a calendar component referenced by this property can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ have an implicit impact on the related calendar component. For Err bitreich.org 70
i+ example, if a group event changes its start or end date or time, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ then the related, dependent events will need to have their start Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and end dates changed in a corresponding way. Similarly, if a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ PARENT calendar component is cancelled or deleted, then there is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ an implied impact to the related CHILD calendar components. This Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property is intended only to provide information on the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ relationship of calendar components. It is up to the target Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar system to maintain any property implications of this Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Description: The exception dates, if specified, are used in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ computing the recurrence set. The recurrence set is the complete Err bitreich.org 70
i+ set of recurrence instances for a calendar component. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurrence set is generated by considering the initial "DTSTART" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property along with the "RRULE", "RDATE", and "EXDATE" properties Err bitreich.org 70
i+ contained within the recurring component. The "DTSTART" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ defines the first instance in the recurrence set. The "DTSTART" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property value SHOULD match the pattern of the recurrence rule, if Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified. The recurrence set generated with a "DTSTART" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value that doesn't match the pattern of the rule is undefined. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The final recurrence set is generated by gathering all of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start DATE-TIME values generated by any of the specified "RRULE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and "RDATE" properties, and then excluding any start DATE-TIME Err bitreich.org 70
i+ values specified by "EXDATE" properties. This implies that start Err bitreich.org 70
i+ DATE-TIME values specified by "EXDATE" properties take precedence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ over those specified by inclusion properties (i.e., "RDATE" and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RRULE"). When duplicate instances are generated by the "RRULE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ and "RDATE" properties, only one recurrence is considered. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Duplicate instances are ignored. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "EXDATE" property can be used to exclude the value specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in "DTSTART". However, in such cases, the original "DTSTART" date Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST still be maintained by the calendaring and scheduling system Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: This property defines the number of times an alarm Err bitreich.org 70
i+ should be repeated after its initial trigger. If the alarm Err bitreich.org 70
i+ triggers more than once, then this property MUST be specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ along with the "DURATION" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Format Definition: This property is defined by the following Err bitreich.org 70
i+ notation: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ repeat = "REPEAT" repparam ":" integer CRLF Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, value data type, time zone Err bitreich.org 70
i+ identifier, or trigger relationship property parameters can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified on this property. The trigger relationship property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameter MUST only be specified when the value type is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DURATION". Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Conformance: This property MUST be specified in the "VALARM" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: This property defines when an alarm will trigger. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ default value type is DURATION, specifying a relative time for the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ trigger of the alarm. The default duration is relative to the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start of an event or to-do with which the alarm is associated. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The duration can be explicitly set to trigger from either the end Err bitreich.org 70
i+ or the start of the associated event or to-do with the "RELATED" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameter. A value of START will set the alarm to trigger off the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start of the associated event or to-do. A value of END will set Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the alarm to trigger off the end of the associated event or to-do. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Either a positive or negative duration may be specified for the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "TRIGGER" property. An alarm with a positive duration is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ triggered after the associated start or end of the event or to-do. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ An alarm with a negative duration is triggered before the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ associated start or end of the event or to-do. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "RELATED" property parameter is not valid if the value type of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the property is set to DATE-TIME (i.e., for an absolute date and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ time alarm trigger). If a value type of DATE-TIME is specified, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ then the property value MUST be specified in the UTC time format. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ If an absolute trigger is specified on an alarm for a recurring Err bitreich.org 70
i+ event or to-do, then the alarm will only trigger for the specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ absolute DATE-TIME, along with any specified repeating instances. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ If the trigger is set relative to START, then the "DTSTART" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property MUST be present in the associated "VEVENT" or "VTODO" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. If an alarm is specified for an event with Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the trigger set relative to the END, then the "DTEND" property or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "DTSTART" and "DURATION " properties MUST be present in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ associated "VEVENT" calendar component. If the alarm is specified Err bitreich.org 70
i+ for a to-do with a trigger set relative to the END, then either Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "DUE" property or the "DTSTART" and "DURATION " properties Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST be present in the associated "VTODO" calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Alarms specified in an event or to-do that is defined in terms of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ a DATE value type will be triggered relative to 00:00:00 of the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Conformance: The property can be specified in "VEVENT", "VTODO", or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VJOURNAL" calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: When a calendar component is created, its sequence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ number is 0. It is monotonically incremented by the "Organizer's" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ CUA each time the "Organizer" makes a significant revision to the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "Organizer" includes this property in an iCalendar object that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ it sends to an "Attendee" to specify the current version of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "Attendee" includes this property in an iCalendar object that Err bitreich.org 70
i+ it sends to the "Organizer" to specify the version of the calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component to which the "Attendee" is referring. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ A change to the sequence number is not the mechanism that an Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "Organizer" uses to request a response from the "Attendees". The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "RSVP" parameter on the "ATTENDEE" property is used by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "Organizer" to indicate that a response from the "Attendees" is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ requested. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Recurrence instances of a recurring component MAY have different Err bitreich.org 70
i+ sequence numbers. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Format Definition: This property is defined by the following Err bitreich.org 70
i+ notation: Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: Any parameter can be specified on this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: This specification allows other properties registered Err bitreich.org 70
i+ with IANA to be specified in any calendar components. Compliant Err bitreich.org 70
i+ applications are expected to be able to parse these other IANA- Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Name: Any property name with a "X-" prefix Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This class of property provides a framework for defining Err bitreich.org 70
i+ non-standard properties. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Type: The default value type is TEXT. The value type can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ set to any value type. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, and language property Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Conformance: This property can be specified in any calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Description: The MIME Calendaring and Scheduling Content Type Err bitreich.org 70
i+ provides a "standard mechanism for doing non-standard things". Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This extension support is provided for implementers to "push the Err bitreich.org 70

i+ names that have the prefix text of "X-" (the two-character Err bitreich.org 70
i+ sequence: LATIN CAPITAL LETTER X character followed by the HYPHEN- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MINUS character). It is recommended that vendors concatenate onto Err bitreich.org 70
i+ this sentinel another short prefix text to identify the vendor. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This will facilitate readability of the extensions and minimize Err bitreich.org 70
i+ possible collision of names between different vendors. User Err bitreich.org 70
i+ agents that support this content type are expected to be able to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parse the extension properties and property parameters but can Err bitreich.org 70
i+ ignore them. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Name: REQUEST-STATUS Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Purpose: This property defines the status code returned for a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ scheduling request. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Value Type: TEXT Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Property Parameters: IANA, non-standard, and language property Err bitreich.org 70

i+ The value consists of a short return status component, a longer Err bitreich.org 70
i+ return status description component, and optionally a status- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specific data component. The components of the value are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ separated by the SEMICOLON character. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The short return status is a PERIOD character separated pair or Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 3-tuple of integers. For example, "3.1" or "3.1.1". The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ successive levels of integers provide for a successive level of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ status code granularity. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The following are initial classes for the return status code. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Individual iCalendar object methods will define specific return Err bitreich.org 70

i+5. Recommended Practices Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ These recommended practices should be followed in order to assure Err bitreich.org 70
i+ consistent handling of the following cases for an iCalendar object. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1. Content lines longer than 75 octets SHOULD be folded. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 2. When the combination of the "RRULE" and "RDATE" properties in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ recurring component produces multiple instances having the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ start DATE-TIME value, they should be collapsed to, and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ considered as, a single instance. If the "RDATE" property is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified as a PERIOD value the duration of the recurrence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ instance will be the one specified by the "RDATE" property, and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ not the duration of the recurrence instance defined by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "DTSTART" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 3. When a calendar user receives multiple requests for the same Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar component (e.g., REQUEST for a "VEVENT" calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+Desruisseaux Standards Track [Page 147] Err bitreich.org 70
i+
Err bitreich.org 70
i+RFC 5545 iCalendar September 2009 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component) as a result of being on multiple mailing lists Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified by "ATTENDEE" properties in the request, they SHOULD Err bitreich.org 70
i+ respond to only one of the requests. The calendar user SHOULD Err bitreich.org 70
i+ also specify (using the "MEMBER" parameter of the "ATTENDEE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property) of which mailing list they are a member. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 4. An implementation can truncate a "SUMMARY" property value to 255 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ octets, but it MUST NOT truncate the value in the middle of a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ UTF-8 multi-octet sequence. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 5. If seconds of the minute are not supported by an implementation, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ then a value of "00" SHOULD be specified for the seconds Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component in a time value. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 6. "TZURL" values SHOULD NOT be specified as a file URI type. This Err bitreich.org 70
i+ URI form can be useful within an organization, but is problematic Err bitreich.org 70
i+ in the Internet. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 7. Some possible English values for "CATEGORIES" property include: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "ANNIVERSARY", "APPOINTMENT", "BUSINESS", "EDUCATION", "HOLIDAY", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "MEETING", "MISCELLANEOUS", "NON-WORKING HOURS", "NOT IN OFFICE", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "PERSONAL", "PHONE CALL", "SICK DAY", "SPECIAL OCCASION", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "TRAVEL", "VACATION". Categories can be specified in any Err bitreich.org 70
i+ registered language. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 8. Some possible English values for the "RESOURCES" property Err bitreich.org 70
i+ include: "CATERING", "CHAIRS", "COMPUTER PROJECTOR", "EASEL", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "OVERHEAD PROJECTOR", "SPEAKER PHONE", "TABLE", "TV", "VCR", Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "VIDEO PHONE", "VEHICLE". Resources can be specified in any Err bitreich.org 70
i+ registered language. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+6. Internationalization Considerations Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Applications MUST generate iCalendar streams in the UTF-8 charset and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST accept an iCalendar stream in the UTF-8 or US-ASCII charset. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+7. Security Considerations Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Because calendaring and scheduling information is very privacy- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ sensitive, the protocol used for the transmission of calendaring and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ scheduling information should have capabilities to protect the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information from possible threats, such as eavesdropping, replay, Err bitreich.org 70
i+ message insertion, deletion, modification, and man-in-the-middle Err bitreich.org 70
i+ attacks. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ As this document only defines the data format and media type of text/ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ calendar that is independent of any calendar service or protocol, it Err bitreich.org 70
i+ is up to the actual protocol specifications such as iTIP [2446bis], Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Required parameters: none Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Optional parameters: charset, method, component, and optinfo Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "charset" parameter is defined in [RFC2046] for subtypes of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the "text" media type. It is used to indicate the charset used in Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the body part. The charset supported by this revision of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar is UTF-8. The use of any other charset is deprecated by Err bitreich.org 70
i+ this revision of iCalendar; however, note that this revision Err bitreich.org 70
i+ requires that compliant applications MUST accept iCalendar streams Err bitreich.org 70
i+ using either the UTF-8 or US-ASCII charset. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "method" parameter is used to convey the iCalendar object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ method or transaction semantics for the calendaring and scheduling Err bitreich.org 70
i+ information. It also is an identifier for the restricted set of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties and values of which the iCalendar object consists. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameter is to be used as a guide for applications interpreting Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the information contained within the body part. It SHOULD NOT be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ used to exclude or require particular pieces of information unless Err bitreich.org 70
i+ the identified method definition specifically calls for this Err bitreich.org 70
i+ behavior. Unless specifically forbidden by a particular method Err bitreich.org 70
i+ definition, a text/calendar content type can contain any set of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ properties permitted by the Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Specification. The "method" parameter MUST be specified and MUST Err bitreich.org 70
i+ be set to the same value as the "METHOD" component property of the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar objects of the iCalendar stream if and only if the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar objects in the iCalendar stream all have a "METHOD" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component property set to the same value. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The value for the "method" parameter is defined as follows: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ method = 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT / "-") Err bitreich.org 70
i+ ; IANA-registered iCalendar object method Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "component" parameter conveys the type of iCalendar calendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component within the body part. If the iCalendar object contains Err bitreich.org 70
i+ more than one calendar component type, then multiple component Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameters MUST be specified. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The value for the "component" parameter is defined as follows: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component = "VEVENT" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / "VTODO" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / "VJOURNAL" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / "VFREEBUSY" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / "VTIMEZONE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / iana-token Err bitreich.org 70
i+ / x-name Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The "optinfo" parameter conveys optional information about the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar object within the body part. This parameter can only Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specify semantics already specified by the iCalendar object and Err bitreich.org 70
i+ that can be otherwise determined by parsing the body part. In Err bitreich.org 70
i+ addition, the optional information specified by this parameter Err bitreich.org 70
i+ MUST be consistent with that information specified by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ iCalendar object. For example, it can be used to convey the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ "Attendee" response status to a meeting request. The parameter Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value consists of a string value. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The parameter can be specified multiple times. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The value for the "optinfo" parameter is defined as follows: Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ optinfo = infovalue / qinfovalue Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ infovalue = iana-token / x-name Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ qinfovalue = DQUOTE (infovalue) DQUOTE Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Encoding considerations: This media type can contain 8bit Err bitreich.org 70
i+ characters, so the use of quoted-printable or base64 MIME Content- Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Transfer-Encodings might be necessary when iCalendar objects are Err bitreich.org 70
i+ transferred across protocols restricted to the 7bit repertoire. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Note that a text valued property in the content entity can also Err bitreich.org 70
i+ have content encoding of special characters using a BACKSLASH Err bitreich.org 70
i+ character escapement technique. This means that content values Err bitreich.org 70
i+ can end up being encoded twice. Err bitreich.org 70

i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This section defines the process to register new or modified Err bitreich.org 70

i+ value data types, and values, with IANA. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+8.2.1. iCalendar Elements Registration Procedure Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The IETF will create a mailing list, icalendar@ietf.org, which can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ used for public discussion of iCalendar elements proposals prior to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ registration. Use of the mailing list is strongly encouraged. The Err bitreich.org 70
i+ IESG will appoint a designated expert who will monitor the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ icalendar@ietf.org mailing list and review registrations. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Registration of new iCalendar elements MUST be reviewed by the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ designated expert and published in an RFC. A Standards Track RFC is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ REQUIRED for the registration of new value data types that modify Err bitreich.org 70
i+ existing properties, as well as for the registration of participation Err bitreich.org 70
i+ status values to be used in "VEVENT" calendar components. A Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Standards Track RFC is also REQUIRED for registration of iCalendar Err bitreich.org 70
i+ elements that modify iCalendar elements previously documented in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Standards Track RFC. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ The registration procedure begins when a completed registration Err bitreich.org 70
i+ template, defined in the sections below, is sent to Err bitreich.org 70
i+ icalendar@ietf.org and iana@iana.org. The designated expert is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ expected to tell IANA and the submitter of the registration within Err bitreich.org 70
i+ two weeks whether the registration is approved, approved with minor Err bitreich.org 70
i+ changes, or rejected with cause. When a registration is rejected Err bitreich.org 70
i+ with cause, it can be re-submitted if the concerns listed in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ cause are addressed. Decisions made by the designated expert can be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ appealed to the IESG Applications Area Director, then to the IESG. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ They follow the normal appeals procedure for IESG decisions. Err bitreich.org 70

i+Appendix A. Differences from RFC 2445 Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ This appendix contains a list of changes that have been made in the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification from Err bitreich.org 70
i+ RFC 2445. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+A.1. New Restrictions Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1. The "DTSTART" property SHOULD be synchronized with the recurrence Err bitreich.org 70
i+ rule, if specified. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 2. The "RRULE" property SHOULD NOT occur more than once in a Err bitreich.org 70
i+ component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 3. The BYHOUR, BYMINUTE, and BYSECOND rule parts MUST NOT be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified in the "RRULE" property when the "DTSTART" property is Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified as a DATE value. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 4. The value type of the "DTEND" or "DUE" properties MUST match the Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value type of "DTSTART" property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 5. The "DURATION" property can no longer appear in "VFREEBUSY" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ components. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+A.2. Restrictions Removed Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1. The "DTSTART" and "DTEND" properties are no longer required to be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified as date with local time and time zone reference when Err bitreich.org 70
i+ used with a recurrence rule. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+A.3. Deprecated Features Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 1. The "EXRULE" property can no longer be specified in a component. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 2. The "THISANDPRIOR" value can no longer be used with the "RANGE" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ parameter. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 3. The "PROCEDURE" value can no longer be used with the "ACTION" Err bitreich.org 70
i+ property. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 4. The value type RECUR no longer allows multiple values to be Err bitreich.org 70
i+ specified by a COMMA-separated list of values. Err bitreich.org 70
i+ Err bitreich.org 70
i+ 5. x-name rule parts can no longer be specified in properties of Err bitreich.org 70
i+ RECUR value type (e.g., "RRULE"). x-param can be used on RECUR Err bitreich.org 70
i+ value type properties instead. Err bitreich.org 70
