1 Introduction

This document describes an IRIS registry schema for registries of ENUM data using an XML Schema [4] derived from and using the IRIS [5] schema.

The schema given is this document is specified using the Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described in XML [1], XML Schema notation as described in XML_SD [3] and XML_SS [4], and XML Namespaces as described in XML_NS [2].

2 Document Terminology

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 [10].

This document uses the term "ENUM" as the fully qualified domain name following the conventions of ENUM [17].

3 Schema Description

IRIS requires the derivation of both query and result elements by a registry schema. These descriptions follow.

References to XML elements with no namespace qualifier are from the schema defined in Section 4. References to elements and attributes with the "iris" XML namespace qualifier are from the schema defined in IRIS [5].

The descriptions contained within this section refer to XML elements and attributes and their relation to the exchange of data within the protocol. These descriptions also contain specifications outside the scope of the formal XML syntax. Therefore, this section will use terms defined by RFC 2119 [10] to describe the specification outside the scope of the formal XML syntax. While reading this section, please reference Section 4 for needed details on the formal XML syntax.

3.1 Query Derivatives

3.1.1 <findEnumsByE164> Query

   <findEnumsByE164> finds ENUM domains by searching on prefixes of
   E.164 numbers and returns <enum> (Section 3.2.3) results.

The E.164 prefix is specified using the <e164Prefix> child of

   <findEnumsByE164>.  An optional child element of <findEnumsByE164>,


Page 4

   <specificity>, can narrow the search to ENUM domains associated with
   E.164 numbers that are either more specific or less specific.  If the
   <specificity> element is present and has the content 'less', then the
   search is to be narrowed to E.164 numbers that are less specific
   (i.e., have fewer digits).  If the <specificity> element is present
   and has the content 'more', then the search is to be narrowed to
   E.164 numbers that are more specific (i.e., have more digits).

3.1.2 <findEnumsByContact> Query

   <findEnumsByContact> finds ENUM domains by searches on fields
   associated with an ENUM domain's contact.

The allowable search fields are handled with either the

   <contactHandle> element or one of the elements in the
   "contactSearchGroup" (see Section 3.1.5).  The <contactHandle>
   element allows for the ENUM domains to be selected based on the
   contact having the specified contact handle.

The query MAY also be constrained further using the optional <role> element. The contents of this element signify the role the contact has with the ENUM domain.

This query also provides optional <language> elements containing language tags. Clients MAY use these elements to give a hint about the natural language(s) of the affected element. Servers MAY use this information in processing the query, such as tailoring normalization routines to aid in more effective searches.

3.1.3 <findContacts> Query

   <findContacts> searches for contacts given search constraints.

The allowable search fields are handled by one of the elements in the "contactSearchGroup" (see Section 3.1.5).

This query also provides optional <language> elements containing language tags. Clients MAY use these elements to give a hint about the natural language(s) of the affected element. Servers MAY use this information in processing the query, such as tailoring normalization routines to aid in more effective searches.

3.1.4 <findEnumsByHost> Query

This query does a simple search for the ENUM domains being hosted by a name server. The search is constrained using either the host name [12], host handle, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address of the name server.


Page 5

3.1.5 Contact Search Group

Some of the queries above have similar query constraints for searching on contacts. This section describes those common parameters.

   <commonName> allows the query to be constrained based on the common
   name of the contact.  The constraint can either constrain the query
   by an exact match using the <exactMatch> element, or it may constrain
   the query by a subset of the common name using the <beginsWith> and
   <endsWith> elements.

   <organization> allows the query to be constrained based on the
   organization name of the contact.  It has the same semantics as the
   <commonName> element.

   <eMail> constrains the query based on the e-mail address of the
   contact.  This may be done by an exact e-mail address using the
   <exactMatch> element or by any e-mail address in a domain using the
   <inDomain> element.  The <inDomain> MUST only contain a valid domain
   name (i.e., no '@' symbol), and the matching SHOULD take place only
   on the domain given (i.e., no partial matches with respect to
   substrings or parent domains).  If either the contents of the
   <inDomain> element or domain part of the contents of the <exactMatch>
   element contain a name with non-ASCII characters, they MUST be
   normalized according to the processes of RFC 3491 [15].

The <city>, <region>, and <postalCode> elements restrict the scope of the query based on the city, region, or postal code of the contact, respectively. Each one must only contain an <exactMatch> element containing the exact city, region, or postal code (i.e., no substring searches).

3.2 Result Derivatives

3.2.1 Privacy Labels

Several of the results in this registry type have values that cannot be given but must be specified as present or must be flagged so that clients do not divulge them. In order to achieve this, some of the results use the following element types:


Page 6

This element has the following optional child elements:

As specified, they are nillable and therefore may be present with empty content or present with their specified content. The use of these elements is also optional.

If present without content, each of these element types MUST have one or more of the following boolean attributes:


Page 7

If present with content, each of these element types MAY have one or more of the following boolean attributes:

These boolean attributes SHOULD be used in accordance with the level of access being granted the recipient of the data. For example, marking data as 'private' or 'denied' is to be expected if the user is anonymous or has some other low level of access that does not warrant viewing of that particular data. Likewise, data marked with 'doNotRedistribute' or 'specialAccess' is to be expected if the user is authenticated and has a high level of access.

3.2.2 Contact Group

Many of the results share a set of references to contacts regarding an associated role. These are represented by the following elements:

Each of these elements contains an entity reference. The referent of each MUST be a <contact> (Section 3.2.5).

           </subStatus>
         </redemptionPeriod>
       </status>

     </enum>

The <enum> result represents an instance of an ENUM domain assignment. The children of the <enum> element are as follows:


Page 10

As stated in Section 3.2.1, each status value may have flags to indicate the entity responsible for assigning the status (e.g., actor='registrar') and the nature of the status (e.g., disposition="prohibited"). Any one status value MUST NOT imply other status values. For instance, <reserved> is just an


Page 11

indication that the ENUM domain is given special reserved status; the <create disposition="prohibited"/> status value must also be present to indicate that the ENUM domain cannot be registered.


Page 12

The registration authority type child elements, <registry>,

   <registrar>, and <other>, determine the role in which this
   registration authority plays in the process of registering ENUM
   domains.  The intent of this element is to explain the various roles
   a registration authority may have with regards to the authority areas
   pointed to by the <serviceInstance> element.  A client MAY understand
   the relationship of a registration authority with respect to an ENUM
   domain by the placement of the reference in the domain (e.g.,
   <registry> or <registrar>).

   creation of this validation event.

   <expirationDateTime> - an element containing the date and time of the
   expiration of this validation event.

   <iris:seeAlso> - an element containing an entity reference specifying
   a referent that is indirectly associated with this validation event.

3.3 Generic Code Derivatives

3.3.1 <searchTooWide>

Servers MAY use the <searchTooWide> error code when a query must be narrowed to yield a result set acceptable to the policies of the server operator.

3.3.2 <languageNotSupported>

The queries <findEnumsByContact> and <findContacts> support optional language tags that allow a client to suggest to a server the languages in which to scope the queries. If a client passes to the server a language that the server does not support, the server MAY use this error code to indicate that one of the languages is not supported.

This element contains child elements named <unsupportedLanguage>. Each of these child elements specifies a language not supported by the server. When a server returns this error, it MUST give the languages from the query that are not supported.

3.4 Support for <iris:lookupEntity>

The following types of entity classes are recognized by the

   <lookupEntity> query of IRIS for this registry:

5 Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) Transport Compliance

IRIS allows several extensions of the core capabilities. This section outlines those extensions allowable by IRIS-BEEP [6].

5.1 Message Pattern

This registry type uses the default message pattern as described in IRIS-BEEP [6].

5.2 Server Authentication

This registry type only uses the basic Transport Layer Security (TLS) server authentication method as described in IRIS-BEEP [6].

6 URI Resolution

6.1 Application Service Label

The application service label associated with this registry type MUST be "EREG1". This is the abbreviated form of the URN for this registry type, urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ereg1.

7 Internationalization Considerations

Implementers should be aware of considerations for
internationalization in IRIS [5].

The social data associated with contacts may be non-ASCII, and could contain virtually any Unicode character. The <language> element is provided in queries that have potential to traverse such data. Clients should use these elements to indicate to the server of the target languages desired, and servers should use these elements to better enable normalization and search processes (see

   <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/>).

Clients needing to localize the data tags in this protocol should take note that localization is only needed on the names of XML elements and attributes with the exception of elements containing date and time information. The schema for this registry has been designed so that clients need not interpret the content of elements


Page 47

or attributes for localization, other than those elements containing date and time information.

Clients should also make use of the <language> elements provided in many of the results. Results containing data that may be in Unicode are accompanied by these elements in order to aid better presentation of the data to the user.

The "dateTimePrivacyType" element content conforms to the XML Schema [3] data type "dateTime". The contents of this element MUST be specified using the 'Z' indicator for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

8 IANA Considerations

8.1 XML Namespace URN Registration

This document makes use of a proposed XML namespace and schema registry specified in XML_URN [16]. Accordingly, the following registration information is provided for the IANA:


Page 48

8.2 S-NAPTR Registration

The following S-NAPTR application service tag [20] has been registered with IANA according to the IANA considerations defined in IRIS [5]:

EREG1

8.3 BEEP Registration

The following BEEP Profile URI has been registered with IANA (http://www.iana.org/assignments/beep-parameters), in addition to the registration provided in IRIS-BEEP [6].

http://iana.org/beep/iris1/ereg1

9 Security Considerations

This document lays out no new considerations for security precautions beyond that specified in IRIS [5].
