The iCalendar XML DTD
Status of this Memo
This document is an Internet-Draft. Internet-Drafts are working
documents of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), its areas,
and its working groups. Note that other groups may also distribute
working documents as Internet-Drafts.
Internet-Drafts are draft documents valid for a maximum of six
months. Internet-Drafts may be updated, replaced, or made obsolete by
other documents at any time. It is not appropriate to use Internet-
Drafts as reference material or to cite them other than as a "working
draft" or "work in progress".

Abstract
This memo defines a [XML] Document Type Definition (DTD) that
corresponds to the iCalendar, calendaring and scheduling core object
format defined by [RFC2445]. This DTD provides equivalent
functionality to the standard format defined by [RFC2445]. Documents
structured in accordance with this DTD may also be know as "XML
iCalendar" documents.
The mailing list for discussion of this memo is "ietf-
calendar@imc.org". Send an email to " ietf-calendar-request@imc.org"
with the message "SUBSCRIBE" to add your email address to this
mailing list. Send an email to " ietf-vcard-xml-request@imc.org" with
the message "UNSUBSCRIBE" to remove your email address from this
mailing list.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC 2119].

Internet Draft iCalendar XML DTD December 4, 1998
1 Introduction
The Extended Markup Language (XML) as defined in [XML] is gaining
widespread attention as a "web friendly" syntax for encoding and
exchanging documents and data on the Internet. This interest includes
requests for and discussion of possible document type definitions
(DTD) for IETF standards such at the iCalendar, calendaring and
scheduling core object format, defined by [RFC2445].
This XML DTD is in no way intended to create a separate definition
for the vCard schema. The sole purpose for this memo is to define an
alternative XML encoding for the format defined by [RFC2445].
The vCard DTD does not introduce any capability not expressible in
the format defined by [RFC2445]. However, an attempt has been made to
leverage the capabilities of the XML syntax to better articulate the
original intent of the iCalendar authors. For example, the notation
attribute is used to declare the strong data typing intended for each
of the properties in an iCalendar object. It is the responsibility of
the XML application supporting this DTD to make sure that the content
information is formatted consistently with the notation declared for
each element.
The iCalendar DTD promotes a number of iCalendar properties into
attributes on the "iCal" element. This has been done to express these
properties as "global attributes" for the iCalendar object, as a
whole. For example, the CALSCALE, METHOD, VERSION and PRODID
properties have been "mapped" into attributes on the iCalendar
object.
Binary content in the ATTACH property may either be specified through
an external entity reference to the non-XML binary content or may be
included in the content after first encoding the binary information
using the BASE64 encoding of [RFC 2146].
XML version 1.0 did not include the definition for namespaces. A
namespace is a collection of names, identified by a URI. However, in
anticipation of the publication of the "Namespaces in XML"
specification, this memo includes the definition for a default
namespace for the iCalendar DTD elements. XML applications that
support this memo and namespaces in XML can utilize this feature.
It is expected that the DTD defined in this memo will not normally be
included with iCalendar objects that are distributed. Instead, this
DTD will be externally referenced. This means that such iCalendar
objects will be well-formed but not valid, as defined in [XML].
2 iCalendar XML Document Type Definition
The following DTD conforms to XML version 1.0, as specified by [XML].

3 iCalendar Notation
The formal public identifier (FPI) for the DTD described in this
specification is "-//IETF//DTD iCalendar//EN".
A XML document can reference an external non-XML entity containing an
iCalendar object, as specified by [RFC2445]. The iCalendar object,
Dawson 15 Expires June 1999
Internet Draft iCalendar XML DTD December 4, 1998
while encoded in the standard, non-XML format can be referenced in an
external entity reference that identifies the [RFC2445] format in a
notation declaration. The [RFC2445] format is identified by the
formal public identifier "-//IETF//NONSGML iCalendar//EN", as defined
in [FPI].
4 Example Usage
4.1 Simple iCalendar Object
The following is a simple example of a XML document using this DTD.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE iCalendar PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD iCalendar//EN"
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dawson-ical-xml-dtd-02.txt>
<iCalendar>
<iCal version="2.0"
prodid="-//HandGen//NONSGML vGen v1.0//EN"
method="PUBLISH">
<vevent>
<dtstart>19981116T163000Z</dtstart>
<dtend>19981116T190000Z</dtend>
<summary>Project XYZ Review</summary>
<location>Conference Room 23A</location>
</vevent>
</iCal>
</iCalendar>
4.2 iCalendar with non-standard extension
The following is an example of an iCalendar object that also includes
a non-standard extension.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE iCalendar PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD iCalendar//EN"

4.6 XML document reference to a non-XML iCalendar object
The following is an example of a XML document with a proper reference
to a non-XML entity containing an iCalendar object in the format
defined by [RFC2445]. This example shows how existing iCalendar
objects can be integrated into XML documents using the XML structure
defined in this document.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE wbs SYSTEM "http://host.com/wbs.dtd"

5 Namespace
[NSPACE] defines "XML namespaces" to be a collection of names,
identified by a URI, which are used in XML documents as element types
and attribute names. XML namespaces allow multiple markup vocabulary
in a single document. Considering the utility of the iCalendar
properties in other applications, it is important for the iCalendar
XML DTD to define a namespace for the iCalendar element types.
This memo includes the definition of both a qualified name for the
iCalendar namespace and also a default namespace. The namespace
declaration is specified by attributes on the "iCal" element. The
default namespace is specified with the "xmlns" attribute and the
qualified name for the iCalendar namespace is specified with the
"xmlns:iCal" attribute.
The default namespace attribute is useful in XML documents that are
based on the iCalendar document types. The qualified name for the
iCalendar namespace is useful in XML documents that partially consist
of iCalendar elements types but also consist of element types from
other schemas.

The following is an example of the iCalendar namespace declaration
using the qualified namespace:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<iCal:iCal version="3.0" xmlns:vcf="http://www.ietf.org/internet-
drafts/draft-dawson-ical-xml-dtd-00.txt">
<!-- Remainder of the XML document, each iCalendar element -->
<!-- prefaced with the "iCal:" prefix... -->
</iCal:iCal>
The following is an example of an iCalendar namespace declaration
using the default namespace:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<x xmlns="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/
draft-dawson-ical-xml-dtd-00.txt">
<!-- Remainder of the XML document, each iCalendar element -->
<!-- prefaced with the "iCal:" prefix... -->
