Claude -

 

Actually, the work of the IETF pre-dates anything being done in this area by OASIS, the OGC, or OMA. The original SIP Internet RFC dates back to 1999. SIP has been extended since then and there are a number of companion RFC's related to presence, events, and so forth. And while PIDF and PIDF-LO are working their way through the IETF process, I think that it is excellent that OMA is building on the work of other standards organizations rather than re-inventing the wheel. Further, the PIDF-LO draft leverages the work of the OGC - uses GML 3.1.

 

Kind regards

 

Carl

It is amazing how many ways and terms we can find to abstract

roles and subscriptions so we can have yet another locus of

control based standard.

 

Standards and speeches:  the full time consultant economy.

 

Personally rooting for the DHS ontology efforts to tie it all together.

I dug around the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA) site - actually looking for standards info OASIS can use as part of their EDXL work. Reviewed a document titled OMA-TS-Presence_SIMPLE-V1_0-20050427-C. The intro paragraph states:

The document defines an application level specification for the OMA SIP/SIMPLE-based Presence Service. It defines the presence information semantics for presence information conveyed using the Presence Information Data Format (PIDF) the Rich Presence Information Data Format (RPID) and geographical information conveyed in a GEOPRIV location object (see [PIDFLO]) specified by the IETF in conjunction with the overall Presence Data Model defined in [PRESDATAMODEL].
