Distribution of this memo is unlimited.Copyright Notice   Copyright (C) The Internet Society (1999).  All Rights Reserved.Abstract   The "service:" URL scheme name is used to define URLs (called   "service: URLs" in this document) that are primarily intended to be   used by the Service Location Protocol in order to distribute service   access information.  These schemes provide an extensible framework   for client-based network software to obtain configuration information   required to make use of network services.  When registering a   service: URL, the URL is accompanied by a set of well-defined   attributes which define the service.  These attributes convey   configuration information to client software, or service   characteristics meaningful to end users.   This document describes a formal procedure for defining and   standardizing new service types and attributes for use with the   "service:" scheme.  The formal descriptions of service types and   attributes are templates that are human and machine understandable.   They SHOULD be used by administrative tools to parse service   registration information and by client applications to provide   localized translations of service attribute strings.Guttman, et al.

Introduction   This document describes a URL scheme, called service: URL, which   defines network access information for network services using a   formal notation.  In addition it describes how to define a set of   attributes to associate with a service: URL. These attributes will   allow end users and programs to select between network services of   the same type that have different capabilities.  The attributes are   defined in a template document that is readable by people and   machines.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 2]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   A client uses attributes to select a particular service.  Service   selection occurs by obtaining the service: URL that offers the right   configuration for the client.  Service type templates define the   syntax of service: URLs for a particular service type, as well as the   attributes which accompany a service: URL in a service registration.   Templates are used for the following distinct purposes:    1. Standardization       The template is reviewed before it is standardized.  Once it is       standardized, all versions of the template are archived by IANA.    2. Service Registration       Servers making use of the Service Location Protocol [10] register       themselves and their attributes.  They use the templates to       generate the service registrations.  In registering, the service       must use the specified values for its attributes.    3. Client presentation of Service Information       Client applications may display service information.  The       template provides type information and explanatory text which may       be helpful in producing user interfaces.    4. Internationalization       Entities with access to the template for a given service type in       two different languages may translate between the two languages.       A service may register itself in more than one language using       templates, though it has been configured by an operator who       registered service attributes in a single language.   All grammar encoding follows the Augmented BNF (ABNF) [8] for syntax   specifications.1.1. 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 inRFC 2119  [6].Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 3]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   The following terminology is used for describing service: URLs.      service scheme         A URL scheme whose name starts with the string "service:" and         is followed by the service type name, constructed according to         the rules in this document.      service: URL         A URL constructed according to the service scheme definition.         It typically provides at least the following:  The name of an         access protocol, and an address locating this service.  The         service: URL may include url path information specific to the         type of service, as well as attribute information encoded         according to the URL grammar.  The service: URL is used by the         Service Location Protocol to register and discover the location         of services.  It may be used by other protocols and in         documents as well.      service type         A name identifying the semantics by which the remainder of the         service: URL is to be understood.  It may denote either a         particular network protocol, or an abstract service associated         with a variety of protocols.  If the service type denotes a         particular protocol, then the service type name SHOULD either         be assigned the name of a particular well known port [2] by         convention or be the Assigned Numbers name for the service [1].      abstract service type         A service type name which is associated with a variety of         different protocols.  An example is given in Section A.Section 2 discusses various ways that abstract types can be         accommodated.      service registration         A service: URL and optionally a set of attributes comprise a         service registration.  This registration is made by or on         behalf of a given service.  The URL syntax and attributes must         conform to the service template for the registered service.      service template         A formal description of the service attributes and service         scheme associated with a particular service type.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 4]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19991.2. Service Location Protocol   The Service Location Protocol version 2 [10] allows service: URLs to   be registered and discovered, though service: URLs may be also used   in other contexts.   Client applications discover service registrations by issuing queries   for services of a particular type, specifying the attributes of the   service: URLs to return.  Clients retrieve the attributes of a   particular service by supplying its service: URL. Attributes for all   service registrations of a particular type can also be retrieved.   Services may register themselves, or registrations may be made on   their behalf.  These registrations contain a service: URL, and   possibly attributes and digital signatures.1.2.1. Compatibility with SLPv1   This document adopts the encoding conventions of SLPv2.   Compatibility with SLPv1 [[15]] is possible, if the following   conventions are observed:    1. Abstract service types must not be used.  SLPv2 specifies the       use of Service URLs with abstract service types.  SLPv1 does not       support them.  Thus, a service template which is to serve both       SLPv1 and SLPv2 must not use abstract service types.    2. The syntax for representing opaque values in this document is       consistent with SLPv2.  The syntax must be converted for use with       SLPv1.  Instead of a sequence of "\FF" then "\" HEXDIG HEXDIG for       each byte in the opaque value, SLPv1 uses radix-64 notation.    3. Escape characters are significantly differently in SLPv1 and       SLPv2.  Instead of using escaped byte notation for escaped       characters, SLPv1 uses the HTML convention `&' `#' 1*DIGIT `;'.2. Service URL Syntax and Semantics   This section describes the syntax and semantics of service: URLs.2.1. Service URL Syntax   The syntax of the service: URL MUST conform to an 'absolute URI' as   defined by [5].  The syntax of a service:  URL differs enough from a   'generic URI' that it is best to treat it as an opaque URI unless a   specific parser for the service:  URL is available.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 5]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   All service:  URLs have the same syntax up to the 'url-part' The   syntax for a service URL depends on the service type following the   service scheme.  All service:  URLs have a service access point   portion, indicating the address of the service to access.   The syntax for the <sap> field depends upon the service type   definition.  The <sap> field is the service access point, and   describes how to access the service.  In addition, although both   upper case and lower case characters are recognized in the <service-   type> field for convenience, the name is case-folded into lower case.   Service types are therefore not distinguished on the basis of case,   so, for example, "http" and "HTTP" designate the same service type.   This is consistent with general URL practice, as outlined in [5].   The ABNF for a service: URL is:      service: URL    =   "service:" service-type ":" sap      service-type    =   abstract-type ":" url-scheme / concrete-type      abstract-type   =   type-name [ "." naming-auth ]      concrete-type   =   protocol [ "." naming-auth ]      type-name       =   resname      naming-auth     =   resname      url-scheme      =   resname                          ; A recognized URL scheme name, standardized                          ; either through common practice or through                          ; approval of a standards body.      resname         =   ALPHA [ 1*(ALPHA / DIGIT / "+" / "-") ]      sap             =   site [url-part]      site            =   ipsite / atsite / ipxsite      ipsite          =   "//" [ [ user "@" ] hostport ]      hostport        =   host [ ":" port ]      host            =   hostname / hostnumber      hostname        =   *( domainlabel "." ) toplabel      alphanum        =   ALPHA / DIGIT      domainlabel     =   alphanum / alphanum *[alphanum / "-"] alphanum      toplabel        =   ALPHA / ALPHA *[ alphanum / "-" ] alphanum      hostnumber      =   ipv4-number      ipv4-number     =   1*3DIGIT 3("." 1*3DIGIT)      port            =   1*DIGIT                          ; A port number must be included if the                          ; protocol field does not have an IANA                          ; assigned port number.      user            =   *[ uchar / ";" / "+" / "&" / "=" ]      ipxsite         =   "/ipx/" ipx-net ":" ipx-node ":" ipx-socket      ipx-net         =   8 HEXDIGIT      ipx-node        =   12 HEXDIGIT      ipx-socket      =   4 HEXDIGIT      atsite          =   "/at/" at-object ":" at-type "" at-zoneGuttman, et al.

The IPX network number is a four-byte number, in network order and   expressed in hexadecimal, that signifies an IPX subnet.  The node   element represents a network interface card.  It is a six-byte   number, expressed in hexadecimal, that is usually the same as the   node ID of the interface card.  The socket element represents a   specific service access point, given an IPX network and node.  IPX   sockets are analogous to TCP/IP ports, and are not to be confused   with Berkeley sockets.   AppleTalk addresses [9] are composed of an object, type and zone.   The object is a human readable string.  The type is an identifier,   not intended for human readability.  The zone refers to the AppleTalk   Zone name, which is also human readable.  The characters composing   these names are drawn from the AppleAscii character set [7].  Thus,   they do not equate to escaped ASCII or UTF-8 characters.  The   characters "=" and "*" are reserved and may not be included in the   names even in binary form.   In cases besides the AppleTalk grammar, some characters must be   escaped before use.  To escape any character, precede the two digits   indicating its ASCII value by '%'.Guttman, et al.

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19992.2. Service URL Semantics   The service scheme-specific information following the "service:"  URL   scheme identifier provides information necessary to access the   service.  As described in the previous subsection, the form of a   service: URL is as follows:      service: URL = "service:" service-type ":" site url-path   where <site> has one of the following forms could refer to an   <ipsite>, <ipxsite> or <atsite> if the service URL locates to an IP,   IPX or AppleTalk service access point, respectively.   As discussed inSection 1, the <service-type> can be either a   concrete protocol name, or an abstract type name.   The <ipsite> field is typically either a domain name (DNS) or an IP   network protocol address for the service, and possibly a port number.   Note that use of DNS hostnames is preferred for ease of renumbering.   The <site> field can be null if other information in the service URL   or service attributes is sufficient to use the service.   The <sap> field allows more information to be provided (by way of   <url-path> and <attr-list>) that can uniquely locate the service or   resource if the <site> is not sufficient for that purpose.  For IP   addresses, the <site> field begins with "//".  Other address families   supported are IPX [14] and AppleTalk [9].   An <attr-list> field appears at the end of the <url-part> field, but   is never required to exist in any service location registration.   The <attr-list> field is composed of a list of semicolon (";")   separated attribute assignments of the form:      attr-id "=" attr-value   or for keyword attributes:      attr-id   Attributes are part of service: URLs when the attributes are required   to access a particular service.  For instance, an ACAP [13] service   might require that the client authenticate with it through Kerberos.   Including an attribute in the service registration allows the ACAP   client to make use of the correct SASL [11] authentication mechanism.   The ACAP server's registration might look like:      service:acap://some.where.net;authentication=KERBEROSV4Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                     [Page 8]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   Note that there can be other attributes of an ACAP server which are   not appropriate to include in the URL. For instance, the list of   users who have access to the server is useful for selecting an ACAP   server, but is not required for a client to use the registered   service.   Attributes associated with the service: URL are not typically   included in the service: URL. They are stored and retrieved using   other mechanisms.  The service: URL is uniquely identified with a   particular service agent or resource, and is used when registering or   requesting the attribute information.  The Service Location Protocol   specifies how such information is registered by network services and   obtained by client software.2.3. Use of service: URLs   The service: URL is intended to allow arbitrary client/server and   peer to peer systems to make use of a standardized dynamic service   access point discovery mechanism.   It is intended that service: URLs be selected according to the   suitability of associated attributes.  A client application can   obtain the URLs of several services of the same type and distinguish   the most preferable among them by means of their attributes.  The   client uses the service: URL to communicate directly to a service.   Attributes are specified with a formal service template syntax   described inSection 3.  If a service: URL registration includes   attributes, the registering agent SHOULD also keep track of the   attributes which characterize the service.   Registrations can be checked against the formal attribute   specification defined in the template by the client or agent   representing the client.  Service registration are typically done   using the Service Location Protocol [10] (SLP). SLP provides a   mechanism for service: URLs to be obtained dynamically, according to   the service's attributes.   It is also possible to obtain service: URLs from documents and using   other protocols.  In this case, the URL may not be accompanied by the   service attributes.  The context in which the URL appears should make   it clear, if possible, when the service is appropriate to use.  For   example, in a mail message, a service might be recommended for use   when the user is in a branch office.  Or, an HTML document might   include a service: URL as a pointer to a service, describing in text   what the service does and who is authorized to use it.Guttman, et al.

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19992.4. Specifying the Service Type-Specific URL Syntax   When a service type is specified, the specification includes the   definition of the syntax for all URLs that are registered by services   of that particular type.  For instance, the "lpr" service type may be   defined with service: URLs in the following form:      service:printer:lpr://<address of printer>/<queue name>   The section of the URL after the address of the printer:      "/" <queue name>   is specific to the lpr service type and corresponds to the <url-path>   field of the general service: URL syntax.  This part is specified   when the lpr service type is specified.2.5. Accommodating Abstract Service Types   An abstract service type is a service type that can be implemented by   a variety of different service agents.   In order to register a service: URL for an abstract service type the   'abstract-type' grammar rule described insection 3.1 is used.  This   will result in a URL which includes enough information to use the   service, namely, the protocol, address and path information.  Unlike   'concrete' service: URLs, however, the service type is not enough to   determine the service access.  Rather, an abstract service type   denotes a class of service types.  The following subsection discusses   this point in more detail.   Concrete service templates inherit all attributes defined in the   abstract service template from which the concrete service template   was derived.  Attribute defined in the abstract service template MUST   not be defined in the concrete service template as well.  This   simplifies interpretation of templates.   For example, if an abstract service template for service type '   Abstract' defines an attribute FOO, all concrete service templates   derived from the abstract service template, such as '   Abstract:Concrete' will implicitly include the definition of   attribute FOO. This derived template MUST NOT redefine FOO, according   to the rule above.   A further example is described in Section A.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 10]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19992.5.1. Advertising Abstract Service Types   Some services may make use of several protocols that are in common   use and are distinct services in their own right.  In these cases an   abstract service type is appropriate.  What is essential is that all   the required information for the service is clearly defined.   For example, suppose a network service is being developed for   dynamically loading device drivers.  The client requires the   following three pieces of information before it can successfully load   and instantiate the driver:    1. The protocol used to load the driver code, for example, "ftp",       "http" or "tftp"    2. A pathname identifying where the driver code is located, for       example "/systemhost/drivers/diskdrivers.drv",    3. The name of the driver, for example, "scsi".   The temptation is to form the first two items into a URL and embed   that into a service: URL. As an example which should be avoided,      service:ftp:/x3.bean.org/drivers/diskdrivers.drv;driver=scsi   is a service: URL which seems to indicate where to obtain the driver.   Rather, an abstract service-type SHOULD be used.  The service type is   not "ftp", as the example indicates.  Rather, it is "device-drivers".   The service: URL that should be used, consistent with the rules in   section [6], is the following:      service:device-drivers:ftp://x3.bean.org/drivers/diskdrivers.drv;      driver=scsi;platform=sys3.2-rs3000   Other URLs for the same service using other protocols are also   supported, as in:      service:device-drivers:tftp://x2.bean.org/vol3/disk/drivers.drv;      driver=scsi;platform=sys3.2-rs3000      service:device-drivers:http://www.bean.org/drivers/drivpak.drv;      driver=scsi;platform=sys3.2-rs3000   Using SLP, a search for the service type "device-drivers" may return   all of the three URLs listed above.  The client selects the most   appropriate access protocol for the desired resource.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 11]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   The fundamental requirement is that the abstract service type MUST be   well specified.  This requirement is imposed so that program code or   human users have enough information to access the service.  In every   case, a well-specified abstract type will include either an access   protocol and a network address where the service is available, or an   embedded URL for a standardized URL scheme that describes how to   access the service.  In the example above, there are three further   requirements:  A URL path is included for access protocols indicating   the document to download, and two attributes are included to   characterize the driver.3. Syntax and Semantics of Service Type Specifications   Service type specifications are documents in a formal syntax defining   properties important to service registration.  These properties are:    1. General information on the service type specification itself,    2. The syntax of the service type-specific part of the service URL,    3. The definition of attributes associated with a service.   The service type specification document is the service type template.   The following subsections describe the syntax and semantics of   service type templates.3.1. Syntax of Service Type Templates   Service template documents are encoded in a simple form.  They may be   translated into any language or character set, but the template used   for standardization MUST be encoded in the 0x00-0x7F subrange of   UTF-8 [16] (which corresponds to ASCII character encoding) and be in   English.   A template document begins with a block of text assigning values to   five document identification items.  The five identification items   can appear in any order within the block, but conventionally the   "template-type" item, which assigns the service type name, occurs at   the very top of the document in order to provide context for the rest   of the document.  The attribute definition item occurs after the   document identification items.   All items end with a blank line.  The reserved characters are ";",   "%", "=", ",", "#", LF, and CR. Reserved characters MUST be escaped.   The escape sequence is the same as described in [5].Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 12]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   The service template is encoded in a UTF-8 character set, but   submitted as a part of an work in progress, which is encoded in ASCII   characters.  All characters which are outside of the ASCII range MUST   be escaped using the `\' HEXDIG HEXDIG syntax.  For example, the   letter e accent aigue would be represented as "\c3\a9".   Unfortunately, this will detract from the readability of the service   template in the service template submission.  Hopefully some public   domain tools will emerge for translating escaped UTF-8 characters   into humanly readable ones.   Values in value lists are separated by commas.  A value list is   terminated by a newline not preceded by a comma.  If the newline is   preceded by a comma, the value list is interpreted to continue onto   the next line.   Attribute identifiers, attribute type names, and flags are all case   insensitive.  For ease of presentation, upper and lower case   characters can be used to represent these in the template document.   Newlines are significant in the grammar.  They delimit one item from   another, as well as separating parts of items internally.   String values are considered to be a sequence of non-whitespace   tokens potentially with embedded whitespace, separated from each   other by whitespace.  Commas delimit lists of strings.  String values   are trimmed so as to reduce any sequence of white space interior to a   string to a single white space.  Preceding or trailing white space is   removed.  For example:         " some value , another example "      is trimmed to         "some value" and "another example".   Note that there can be no ambiguity in string tokenization because   values in value lists are separated by a comma.  String tokens are   not delimited by double quotes (") as is usually the case with   programming languages.   Attribute tags and values are useful for directory look-up.  In this   case, decoding of character escapes and trimming white space MUST be   performed before string matching.  In addition, string matching   SHOULD be case insensitive.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 13]

Semantics of Service Type Templates   The service type template defines the service attributes and service:   URL syntax for a particular service type.  The attribute definition   includes the attribute type, default values, allowed values and other   information.   Note that the 'template-type', 'template-version', 'template-   description' and 'template-url-syntax' have all been defined as   attributes.  These attributes MAY accompany any service registration   using SLPv2.3.2.1. Definition of a Service Template   There are four items included in the service template.  The semantics   of each item is summarized below.    -  template-type       The scheme name of the service scheme.  The scheme name consists       of the service type name and an optional naming authority name,       separated from the service type name by a period.  See 3.2.2 for       the conventions governing service type names.    -  template-version       The version number of the service type specification.    -  template-description       A description of the service suitable for inclusion in text read       by people.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 15]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999    -  template-url-syntax       The syntax of the service type-specific URL part of the service:       URL.    -  attribute definitions       A collection of zero or more definitions for attributes       associated with the service in service registrations.   Each of the following subsections deals with one of these items.3.2.2. Service Type   The service scheme consists of the service type name and an optional   naming authority name separated from the service type name by a   period.  The service scheme is a string that is appended to the '   service:'  URL scheme identifier, and is the value of the "template-   type" item in the template document.  If the naming authority name is   absent it is assumed to be IANA.3.2.3. Version Number   The version number of the service type template is the value of the   "template-version" item.  A draft proposal starts at 0.0, and the   minor number increments once per revision.  A standardized template   starts at 1.0.  Additions of optional attributes add one to the minor   number, and additions of required attributes, changes of definition,   or removal of attributes add one to the major number.  The intent is   that an old service template still accurately, if incompletely,   defines the attributes of a service registration if the template only   differs from the registration in its minor version.  SeeSection 4   for more detail on how to use the template-version attribute.3.2.4. Description   The description is a block of text readable by people in the language   of the template and is the value of the "template-description" item.   It should be sufficient to identify the service to human readers and   provide a short, informative description of what the service does.   If the service type corresponds to a particular protocol, the   protocol specification must be cited here.  The protocol need not be   a standardized protocol.  The template might refer to a proprietary   specification, and refer the reader of the template to a contact   person for further information.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 16]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19993.2.5. Syntax of the Service Type-specific URL Part   The syntax of the service type-specific part of the service:  URL is   provided in the template document as the value of the "template-url-   syntax" item.  The <url-path> field of the service:  URL is designed   to provide additional information to locate a service when the   <addr-spec> field is not sufficient.  The <url-path> field   distinguishes URLs of a particular service type from those of another   service type.  For instance, in the case of the lpr service type, the   <url-path> may be defined so that it must include the queue name, but   other service types may not require this information.   The syntax for the <url-path> field MUST accompany the definition of   a new service type, unless the URL scheme has already been   standardized and is not a service: URL. The syntax is included in the   template document as an ABNF [8] following the rules for URL syntax   described in [5].  There is no requirement for a service scheme to   support a <url-path>.  The <url-path> field can be very simple, or   even omitted.  If the URL scheme has already been standardized, the   "template-url-syntax" item SHOULD include a reference to the   appropriate standardization documents.  Abstract service types may   defer this field to the template documents describing their concrete   instances.3.2.6. Attribute Definition   The bulk of the template is typically devoted to defining service   type-specific attributes.  An attribute definition precisely   specifies the attribute's type, other restrictions on the attribute   (whether it is multi-valued, optional, etc), some text readable by   people describing the attribute, and lists of default and allowed   values.  The only required information is the attribute's type, the   rest are optional.  Registration, deregistration and the use of   attributes in queries can be accomplished using the Service Location   Protocol [10] or other means, and discussion of this is beyond the   scope of the document.   Attributes are used to convey information about a given service for   purposes of differentiating different services of the same type.   They convey information to be used in the selection of a particular   service to establish communicate with, either through a program   offering a human interface or programmatically.  Attributes can be   encoded in different character sets and in different languages.  The   procedure for doing this is described inSection 6.   An attribute definition begins with the specification of the   attribute's identifier and ends with a single empty line.  Attributes   definitions have five components (in order of appearance in aGuttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 17]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   definition):    1. An attribute identifier which acts as the name of the attribute,    2. Attribute descriptors (type and flags),    3. An optional list of values which are assigned to the attribute by       default,    4. An optional block of text readable by people providing a short,       informative description of the attribute,    5. An optional list of allowed values which restrict the value or       values the attribute can take on.3.2.6.1. The Attribute Identifier   An attribute definition starts with the specification of the   attribute's identifier.  The attribute's identifier functions as the   name of the attribute.  Note that the characters used to compose an   attribute identifier are restricted to those characters considered   unrestricted for inclusion in a URL according to [5].  The reason is   that services can display prominent attributes in their service:  URL   registrations.  Each attribute identifier must be unique in the   template.  Since identifiers are case folded, upper case and lower   case characters are the same.3.2.6.2. The Attribute Type   Attributes can have one of five different types:  string, integer,   boolean, opaque, or keyword.  The attribute's type specification is   separated from the attribute's identifier by an equal sign ("=") and   follows the equal sign on the same line.  The string, signed integer,   and boolean types have the standard programming language or database   semantics.  Integers are restricted to those signed values that can   be represented in 32 bits.  The character set used to represent   strings is not specified at the time the template is defined, but   rather is determined by the service registration.  Booleans have the   standard syntax.  Opaques are byte escaped values that can be used to   represent any other kind of data.  Keywords are attributes that have   no characteristics other than their existence (and possibly the   descriptive text in their definition).   Keyword and boolean attributes impose restrictions on the following   parts of the attribute definition.  Keyword attribute definitions   MUST have no flag information following the type definition, nor any   default or allowed values list.  Boolean attributes are single value   only, i.e., multi-valued boolean attributes are not allowed.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 18]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19993.2.6.3. Attribute Flags   Flags determine other characteristics of an attribute.  With the   exception of keyword attributes, which may not have any flags, flags   follow the attribute type on the same line as the attribute   identifier, and are separated from each other by whitespace.  Flags   may appear in any order after the attribute type.  Other information   must not follow the flags, and only one flag identifier of a   particular flag type is allowed per attribute definition.   The semantics of the flags are as follows:    -  o or O       Indicates that the attribute is optional.  If this flag is       missing, the attribute is required in every service registration.    -  m or M       Indicates that the attribute can take on multiple values.  If       this flag is present, every value in a multi-valued attribute       has the same type as the type specified in the type part of the       attribute definition.  Boolean attributes must not include this       flag.    -  l or L       Indicates that attribute is literal, i.e.  is not meant to be       translated into other languages.  If this flag is present, the       attribute is not considered to be readable by people and should       not be translated when the template is translated.  SeeSection 6       for more information about translation.    -  x or X       Indicates that clients SHOULD include the indicated attribute       in requests for services.  Neglecting to include this attribute       will not sufficiently differentiate the service.  If services are       obtained without selecting this attribute they will quite likely       be useless to the client.   The values for multivalued attributes are an unordered set.   Deletions of individual values from a multivalued attribute are not   supported, and deletion of the attribute causes the entire set of   values to be removed.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 19]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 19993.2.6.4. Default Value or List   If the attribute definition includes a default value or, in the case   of multivalued attributes, a default values list, it begins on the   second line of the attribute definition and continues over the   following lines until a line ends without a comma.  As a consequence,   newlines cannot be embedded in values unless escaped.  SeeSection2.1.   Particular attribute types and definitions restrict the default   values list.  Keyword attributes must not have a list of defaults.   If an optional attribute's definition has an allowed values list,   then a default value or list is not optional but required.  The   motivation for this is that defining an attribute with an allowed   values list is meant to restrict the values the attribute can take   on, and requiring a default value or list assures that the default   value is a member of the given set of allowed values.   The default value or list indicates what values the attribute is   given if no values are assigned to the attribute when a service is   registered.  If an optional attribute's definition includes no   default value or list, the following defaults are assigned:    1. String values are assigned the empty string,    2. Integer values are assigned zero,    3. Boolean values are assigned false,    4. Opaque values are assigned a byte array containing no values,    5. Multi-valued attributes are initialized with a single value.   For purposes of translating nonliteral attributes, the default values   list is taken to be an ordered set, and translations MUST maintain   that order.3.2.6.5. Descriptive Text   Immediately after the default values list, if any, a block of   descriptive text SHOULD be included in the attribute definition.   This text is meant to be readable by people, and should include a   short, informative description of the attribute.  It may also provide   additional information, such as a description of the allowed values.   This text is primarily designed for display by interactive browsing   tools.  The descriptive text is set off from the surrounding   definition by a crosshatch character ("#") at the beginning of the   line.  The text should not, however, be treated as a comment byGuttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 20]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   parsing and other tools, since it is an integral part of the   attribute definition.  Within the block of descriptive text, the text   is transferred verbatim, including indentation and line breaks, so   any formatting is preserved.3.2.6.6. Allowed Values List   Finally, the attribute definition concludes with an optional allowed   values list.  The allowed values list, if any, follows the   descriptive text, or, if the descriptive text is absent, the initial   values list.  The syntax of the allowed values list is identical to   that of the initial values list.  The allowed values list is also   terminated by a line that does not end in a comma.  If the allowed   values list is present, assignment to attributes is restricted to   members of the list.   As with the default values list, the allowed values list is also   considered to be an ordered set for purposes of translation.3.2.6.7. Conclusion of An Attribute Definition   An attribute definition concludes with a single empty line.4. A Process For Standardizing New Service Types   New service types can be suggested simply by providing a service type   template and a short description about how to use the service.  The   template MUST have its "template-version" template attribute set to   0.0.   MAJOR revision numbers come before the '.', MINOR revision numbers   come after the '.'.   The minor version number increments once with each change until it   achieves 1.0.  There is no guarantee any version of the service   template is backward compatible before it reaches 1.0.   Once a service template has reached 1.0, the definition is "frozen"   for that version.  New templates must be defined, of course, to   refine that definition, but the following rules must be followed:   A MINOR revision number signifies the introduction of a compatible   change.  A MAJOR revision number signifies the introduction of an   incompatible change.  This is formalized by the following rules:    -  Any new optional attribute defined for the template increases       the minor version number by one.  All other attributes for the       version must continue to be supported as before.  A client whichGuttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 21]

A client application       may be unable to make use of this information, or it may need       to obtain the most recent service template to help the user       interpret the service information.   The template is submitted to a special mailing list, seesection 5.   This document must include a 'template begins here' and 'template   ends here' marking, in text, so that it is trivial to cut and paste   the template from the submission.   The list will be available at svrloc-list@iana.org.  Ideally, experts   in the implementation and deployment of the particular protocol are   consulted so as to add or delete attributes or change their   definition to make the template as useful as possible.  The mailing   list will be maintained even when the SVRLOC WG goes dormant for the   purpose of discussing service templates.   All published versions of the template must be available on-line,   including obsolete ones.   Once consensus is achieved, the template should be reissued with   possible corrections, having its Version number set to 1.0.   Templates with version numbers below 1.0 are not submitted to the   IANA. From that point onwards, templates are submitted.  SeeSection5 for details on how templates are submitted to an IANA registry of   templates.5. IANA Considerations   It is the responsibility of the IESG (e.g., Applications Area   director) to appoint a Designated Expert (see [12].)  Anyone may ask   for clarification of a service template.  This is to solicit input   from the concerned community.  It is up to the appointed reviewer to   determine whether clarification requests are satisfied.  It is the   reviewer's responsibility to see that all reasonable clarification   requests are met before the template is submitted for inclusion in   the IANA registry.   When the reviewer has determined that the template submission is   ready, he or she will submit the template to the IANA for inclusion   in a registry.  Mailing list participants supply input to the process   but do not make the decision whether to accept a service template.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 22]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   If a dispute arises over the decisions made by the reviewer, the   matter may be appealed according to normal IETF procedure as   described for the Standards Track process.   The IANA will maintain a mail forwarding alias for the work of this   list, so that "svrloc-list@iana.org" points to a mail server supplied   by a volunteer organization.   The service template submission MUST be of the form:      Name of submitter:      Language of service template:      Security Considerations:      Template Text:      ----------------------template begins here-----------------------                                    . . .      -----------------------template ends here------------------------   The service template file has a naming convention:   <service-type> "." <version-no> "." <langtag>   Each of these fields are defined inSection 2.  They correspond to   the values of the template fields "type", "template-version".  The   files for the example templates in this document (see Section A) are   called:       "foo.0.0.en",       "Net-Transducer.0.0.en",       "Net-Transducer:Thermometer.0.0.de" and       "Net-Transducer:Thermomoter.0.0.en".   The reviewer will ensure that the template submission to IANA has the   correct form and required fields.   No service type template will be accepted for inclusion in the   service template registry unless the submission includes a security   considerations section and contact information for the template   document author.   The IANA will maintain a registry containing both the service type   templates, and the template description document containing the   service type template, including all previous versions.  The IANA   will receive notice to include a service template in the registry   by email from the reviewer.  This message will include the service   template itself, which is to be registered.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 23]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   Neither the reviewer nor the IANA will take any position on claims of   copyright or trademark issues with regard to templates.6. Internationalization Considerations   The service: URL must be encoded using the rules set forth in [5].   The character set encoding is limited to specific ranges within the   US-ASCII character set [4].   The template is encoded in UTF-8 characters.6.1. Language Identification and Translation   The language used in attribute strings should be identified supplying   a Language Tag [3] in the Service Template submission (seeSection5).   A program can translate a service registration from one language to   another provided it has both the template of the language for the   registration and the template of the desired target language.  All   standardized attributes are in the same order in both templates.  All   non-arbitrary strings, including the descriptive help text, is   directly translatable from one language to another.  Non-literal   attribute definitions, attribute identifiers, attribute type names,   attribute flags, and the boolean constants "true" and "false" are   never translated.  Translation of attribute identifiers is prohibited   because, as with domain names, they can potentially be part of a   service: URL and therefore their character set is restricted.  In   addition, as with variable identifiers in programming languages, they   could become embedded into program code.   All strings used in attribute values are assumed translatable unless   explicitly defined as being literal, so that best effort translation   (see below) does not modify strings which are meant to be interpreted   by a program, not a person.   An example of a translated service template is included in Section A.   There are two ways to go about translation:  standardization and best   effort.   When the service type is standardized, more than one document can be   submitted for review.  One service type description is approved as a   master, so that when a service type template is updated in one   language, all the translations (at least eventually) reflect the same   semantics.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 24]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999   If no document exists describing the standard translation of the   service type, a 'best effort' translation for strings should be done.7. Security Considerations   Service type templates provide information that is used to interpret   information obtained by the Service Location Protocol.  If these   templates are modified or false templates are distributed, services   may not correctly register themselves, or clients might not be able   to interpret service information.   The service: URLs themselves specify the service access point and   protocol for a particular service type.  These service: URLs could be   distributed and indicate the location of a service other than that   normally want to used.  The Service Location Protocol [10]   distributes service: URLs and has an authentication mechanism that   allows service: URLs of registered services to be signed and for the   signatures to be verified by clients.   Each Service Template will include a security considerations section   which will describe security issues with using the service scheme for   the specific Service Type.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 25]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999A. Service Template Examples   The text in the template example sections is to be taken as being a   single file.  They are completely fictitious (ie.  the examples do   not represent real services).   The FOO example shows how to use service templates for an application   that has very few attributes.  Clients request the FOO server where   their user data is located by including their user name as the value   of the user attribute.   The Net-Transducer example shows how abstract service types are   defined and how a corresponding concrete instance is defined.  A   system might support any of several NetTransducer services.  Here we   give only one concrete instance of the abstract type.   It is not necessary to register concrete templates for an abstract   service type if the abstract service type template is completely   clear as to what possible values can be used as a concrete type, and   what their interpretation is.A.1. FOO   The FOO service template submission example follows:  Name of submitter: "Erik Guttman" <Erik.Guttman@sun.com>  Language of service template: en  Security Considerations:    If the USER and GROUPS attributes are included a    possibility exists that the list of identities for users or groups    can be discovered. This information would otherwise be difficult    to discover.  Template Text:  -------------------------template begins here-----------------------  template-type=FOO  template-version=0.0  template-description=    The FOO service URL provides the location of an FOO service.  template-url-syntax=    url-path= ; There is no URL path defined for a FOO URL.  users= string M L O  # The list of all users which the FOO server supports.Guttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 26]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999  groups= string M L O  # The list of all groups which the FOO server supports.  --------------------------template ends here------------------------   This template could be internationalized by registering another   version, say in German:  Name of submitter: "Erik Guttman" <Erik.Guttman@sun.com>  Language of service template: de  Security Considerations:    Wenn die USER und GROUPS Eigenschaften inbegriffen sind,    besteht die Moeglichkeit, dass die Liste der Identitaeten    von Benutzern oder Gruppen endeckt werden kann.  Diese    Information wurde unter anderen Umstaenden schwierig zu    entdecken sein.  Template Text:  -------------------------template begins here-----------------------  template-type=FOO  template-version=0.0  template-description=    Der FOO Service URL zeigt die Stelle von einem Foo Service an.  template-url-syntax=    url-path= ; Es gibt keinen fuer den FOO URL definierten Pfad.  users= string M L O  # Die Liste aller Users, die der FOO Server unterstuetzt.  groups= string M L O  # Die Liste aller Gruppen, die der FOO Server unterstuetzt.  --------------------------template ends here------------------------   Note that the attribute tags are not translated.  If translations   are desired, the suggested convention for doing so is to define a   separate attribute called localize-<tag> for each attribute tag which   is to be localized.  This will aid in displaying the attribute tags   in a human interface.   For example, in this case above, the following two attributes could   be defined:  localize-users= string  Benutzer  localize-groups= stringGuttman, et al.             Standards Track                    [Page 27]

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999  Gruppen   The attributes (in SLPv2 attribute list format) for a service   registration of a FOO service based on this template, in German,   could be:  (users=Hans,Fritz),(groups=Verwaltung,Finanzbuchhaltung),  (template-type=FOO),(template-version=0.0),(template-description=    Der FOO Service URL zeigt die Stelle von einem Foo Service an.),  (template-url-syntax= \OD url-path= ; Es gibt kein fuer den FOO   URL definiert Pfad. \OD),(localize-users=Benutzer),  (localize-groups=Gruppen)   Anyone obtaining these attributes could display "Benutzer=Hans,Fritz"   in a human interface using the included information.  Note that the   template attributes have been included in this registration.  This is   OPTIONAL, but makes it possible to discover which template was used   to register the service.A.2. Abstract Service Type:  Net-Transducer   An example submission of an abstract service type template is:  Name of submitter: "Erik Guttman" <Erik.Guttman@sun.com>  Language of service template: en  Security Considerations:    See the security considerations of the concrete service types.  Template Text:  -------------------------template begins here-----------------------  template-type=Net-Transducer  template-version=0.0  template-description=    This is an abstract service type.  The purpose of the Net-    Transducer service type is to organize into a single category    all network enabled Transducers which have certain properties.  template-url-syntax=    url-path=  ;  Depends on the concrete service type.               ;  See these templates.  sample-units= string L  # The units of sample that the Transducer provides, for instance  # C (degrees Celsius), V (Volts), kg (Kilograms), etc.  sample-resolution= string LGuttman, et al.

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999  # The resolution of the Transducer.  For instance, 10^-3 means  # that the Transducer has resolution to 0.001 unit.  sample-rate= integer L  # The speed at which samples are obtained per second.  For  # instance 1000 means that one sample is obtained every millisecond.  --------------------------template ends here------------------------A.3. Concrete Service Type:  Net-Transducer:Thermometer   This is another service template submission example, supplying a   concrete service type corresponding to the abstract template above.  Name of submitter: "Erik Guttman" <Erik.Guttman@sun.com>  Language of service template: en  Security Considerations:    There is no authentication of the Transducer output.  Thus,    the Thermometer output could easily be spoofed.  Template Text:  -------------------------template begins here-----------------------  template-type=service:Net-Transducer:Thermometer  template-version=0.0  template-description=    The Thermometer is a Net-Transducer capable of reading temperature.    The data is read by opening a TCP connection to one of the ports    in the service URL and reading an ASCII string until an NULL    character is encountered.

RFC 2609               Service Templates and URLs              June 1999A.4. service: URLs and SLP   A user with an FOO enabled calendar application should not be   bothered with knowing the address of their FOO server.  The calendar   client program can use SLP to obtain the FOO service:  URL   automatically, say 'service:foo://server1.nosuch.org', by issuing a   Service Request.  In the event that this FOO server failed, the   Calendar client can issue the same service request again to find the   backup FOO server, say 'service:foo://server2.nosuch.org'.  In both   cases, the service: URL conforms to the FOO service template as do   the associated attributes (user and group.)   A network thermometer based on the above template could be advertised   with the SLPv2 attribute list:   URL        = service:net-transducer:thermometer://v33.test/ports=3211   Attributes = (location-description=Missile bay 32),    (operator=Joe Agent), (sample-units=C),    (sample-resolution=10^-1),(sample-rate=10),    (template-type=service:net-transducer:thermometer),    (template-version=0.0),(template-description=     The Thermometer is a Net-Transducer capable of reading temperature.     The data is read by opening a TCP connection to one of the ports     in the service URL and reading an ASCII string until an NULL     character is encountered.  The client may continue reading data at     no faster than the sample-rate, or close the connection.),    (template-url-syntax= \0D "ports=" port-list \OD     port-list = port / port "," ports \OD     port = 1*DIGIT \OD     ; See the Service URL <port> production rule. \OD     ; These are the ports connections can be made on.\OD)   This might be very useful for a technician who wanted to find a   Thermometers in Missile bay 32, for example.   Note that the template attributes are advertised.  The   template-url-syntax value requires explicit escaped CR characters so   that the ABNF syntax is correct.B.
