<remark><p>Defined atomic publish+configure action for use on first publish; added friendly but non-normative How It Works section to introduction; tightened up definition of normative sections; explicitly defined auto-create and publish-and-configure features.</p></remark>
<remark><p>In accordance with XMPP Council consensus (1) explicitly defined auto-create, auto-subscribe, filtered-notifications, and last-published features, (2) moved them to XEP-0060, and (3) added appropriate references to XEP-0060 throughout; also added friendly but non-normative How It Works section and removed references to private data storage.</p></remark>

<p>There are two sides to personal eventing: what the user does to generate events and what the contact does to receive events. As shown in the following examples, both are simplified in PEP as compared to generic pubsub.</p>
<p>Imagine that you are a Shakespearean character named Juliet and that you want to generate the following kinds of events that may be of interest to other people:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li>Information about what music you're listening to, which anyone may see even if they are not allowed to know your online/offline presence (i.e., a pubsub access model of "presence")</li>
<li>Information about what music you're listening to, which anyone may see as long as they are authorized to see your online/offline presence (i.e., a pubsub access model of "presence")</li>
<li>Information about your geographical location, which only contacts in your "Friends" roster group may see (i.e., a pubsub access model of "roster" with a group of "Friends")</li>
</ol>
<p>We assume that there are three other users who have the following relationship to you:</p>
<ol start='1'>
<li>benvolio@montague.net, who has no subscription to your presence</li>
<li>nurse@capulet.com, who has a bidirectional subscription to your presence and who is in your "Servants" roster group</li>
<li>romeo@montague.net, who has a bidirectional subscription to your presence and who is in your "Friends" roster group</li>
<li>benvolio@montague.lit, who has no subscription to your presence</li>

<li>romeo@montague.lit, who has a bidirectional subscription to your presence and who is in your "Friends" roster group</li>
</ol>
<p>We also assume that your server (montague.net) supports PEP and that your client discovered that support when you logged in.</p>
<p>We also assume that your server (capulet.lit) supports PEP and that your client discovered that support when you logged in.</p>
<p>Now you start playing a song on your music playing software. Your client captures that "event" and publishes it to your server:</p>

<p>But how do Romeo and the Nurse tell your server that they are interested in knowing what you're listening to? In generic pubsub they need to explicitly subscribe to your "http://jabber.org/protocol/tune" node. <note>That is still necessary for open access model nodes in PEP if another user does not have a subscription to your presence, such as benvolio@montague.net in our scenario.</note> In PEP, they only need to advertise that they are interested by including some special flags (see <link url='#approach-filter'>Filtered Notifications</link>) in the &xep0115; information they include in their presence broadcasts (see <link url='#approach-presence'>Use Presence</link>).</p>

<section2 topic='Presence Sharing' anchor='notify-presence'>
<p>When a contact is affiliated with the account owner through a presence subscription, PEP greatly simplifies the subscription process. This is done by associating the presence subscription with a pubsub subscription to the account owner's root collection node (i.e., bare JID), with a subscription_type of "items" and a subscription_depth of "all".</p>
<p>Consider the following presence subscription exchange:</p>
<example caption='Presence subscription handshake'><![CDATA[
<presence from='nurse@capulet.com' to='juliet@capulet.com' type='subscribe'/>
<presence from='juliet@capulet.com' to='nurse@capulet.com' type='subscribed'/>
]]></example>
<p>For PEP purposes, this is equivalent to the following pubsub subscription exchange:</p>
<example caption='Entity subscribes to a collection node'><![CDATA[

<p>Note: Automated pubsub subscriptions MUST be based on the JID contained in the 'from' address of the presence subscription request, which for IM contacts will be a bare JID (&BAREJID;).</p>
<section2 topic='Automatic Subscriptions' anchor='notify-autosubscribe'>
<p>A PEP service MUST support the "auto-subscribe" feature defined in Section 10.1 of <cite>XEP-0060</cite>. This implies that when a user has an XMPP presence subscription to the account owner's presence, the user automatically also has a pubsub subscription account owner's root collection node (i.e., bare JID), with a subscription_type of "items" and a subscription_depth of "all".</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Notification Filtering' anchor='notify-filter'>
<p>A contact may not want to receive notifications for all payload types. A contact SHOULD signal its preferences to the account owner's server by including <cite>XEP-0115</cite> information that specifies the namespaces for which the contact wishes to receive notifications (if any).</p>
<p>In order to make this possible, all possible payload namespaces can be appended with the string "+notify" to indicate that the contact wishes to receive notifications for the payload format. Thus if Romeo wants to receive notifications for activity data and geolocation data but not tune data, his client would advertise support for the following namespaces in the disco#info results it sends: <note>Including, say, the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc' namespace indicates that the client understands the geolocation namespace, whereas including the 'http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc+notify' namespace indicates that the client wishes to receive notifications related to geolocation.</note></p>
<ul>
<li>http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc+notify</li>
<li>http://jabber.org/protocol/tune+notify</li>
</ul>
<p>This set of namespaces would then be advertised as a <cite>XEP-0115</cite> "ext" value, such as the following:</p>
<example caption='Contact sends presence with caps'><![CDATA[
<presence from='romeo@montague.net/orchard'>
<c xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/caps'
node='http://www.chatopus.com/ec'
ver='2.1'
ext='sendmeloc tunes'/>
</presence>
]]></example>
<p>Note: In <cite>XEP-0115</cite>, the "ext" values are opaque strings with no semantic meaning.</p>
<p>It is the responsibility of the account owner's server to cache <cite>XEP-0115</cite> information (including "ext" values and their associated namespaces). When the server receives presence from a contact, it MUST check that presence information for entity capabilities data and correlate that data with the desired namespaces for the contact's client. The server MUST NOT send notifications related to any data formats that the contact's client has not asked for via the relevant "namespace+notify" disco#info feature. This enables a client to turn off all notifications (e.g., because of bandwidth restrictions) and to easily receive all desired data formats simply by adding support for the appropriate "namespace+notify" combination in its disco#info results and client capabililies. However, it also implies that a client can request notifications only on a global basis and cannot request, say, mood information only from certain contacts in the user's roster. Community consensus is that this is an acceptable tradeoff. Also, note that this works only if the account owner has a presence subscription to the contact and the contact has a presence subscription to the account owner.</p>
<p>Some examples may help to illustrate the concept of notification filtering. Here we show presence generated by two of the contacts listed above (benvolio@montague.net does have any presence subscriptions to or from juliet@capulet.com and therefore is not involved in these protocol flows).</p>
<example caption='Presence with caps'><![CDATA[
<presence from='nurse@capulet.com/chamber'>

]]></example>
<p>We assume that Juliet's server doesn't know anything about these capabilities, so it sends service discovery information requests to each of the clients on Juliet's behalf (realistically, the capulet.com server will quickly build up a cache of client capabilities, with the result that it will not need to send these service discovery requests):</p>

<p>Note: The disco#info result from the node#ver includes only base protocol support, since user-configured notification preferences are to be specified in entity capability extensions. Therefore the server also needs to query the relevant extensions:</p>

<p>Note: As explained in <cite>XEP-0115</cite>, these requests would not all be sent to the same client and resource, but rather would be sent to random entities that advertise the same entity capabilities information.</p>
<p>The server shall also query the node#ver and node#ext combinations for other contacts (not shown here), which for &lt;romeo@montague.net&gt; indicate an interest in "http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc+notify" and "http://jabber.org/protocol/tune+notify" but not "http://jabber.org/protocol/activity+notify".</p>
<p>Now we revisit account owner publication and server generation of notifications, with filtering enabled because the server has caps information:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>If Juliet publishes a tune item to the presence-access "http://jabber.org/protocol/tune" node, her server will send notifications to &lt;nurse@capulet.com/chamber&gt; and &lt;romeo@montague.net/orchard&gt; (full JIDs).</p></li>
<li><p>If Juliet publishes an activity item to the presence-access "http://jabber.org/protocol/activity" node, her server will send notifications only to &lt;nurse@capulet.com/chamber&gt;.</p></li>
<li><p>If Juliet publishes a geolocation item to the roster-access "http://jabber.org/protocol/geoloc" node, her server will send notifications only to &lt;romeo@montague.net/orchard&gt;.</p></li>
</ul>
<section2 topic='Notification Filtering' anchor='notify-filterednotifications'>
<p>A PEP service MUST support the "filtered-notifications" feature defined in Section 10.2 of <cite>XEP-0060</cite>. This implies that when an automatic subscriber can specify which event payloads it wants to receive by including appropriate feature bundles in the <cite>XEP-0115</cite> information it broadcasts.</p>

<li><p>Any errors generated by the recipient or the recipient's server in relation to the notification MUST be directed to the JID of the 'from' address on the notification (i.e., the bare JID) so that bounce processing can be handled by the PEP service rather than by the publishing client.</p></li>
<li><p>When sending notifications to an entity that has a presence subscription to the account owner, the server SHOULD include an &xep0033; "replyto" extension specifying the publishing resource (in this example, "juliet@capulet.com/balcony"); this enables the subscriber's client to differentiate between information received from each of the account owner's resources (for example, different resources may be in different places and therefore may need to specify distinct geolocation data). However, a server MUST NOT include the "replyto" address when sending a notification to an entity that does not have a presence subscription to the account owner.</p></li>
