<p>The XMPP &xep0060; extension ("pubsub") can be used to broadcast state change events associated with a Jabber/XMPP account or user, such as those described in &xep0080; or &xep0107;.

<section2 topic='One Publisher Per Node' anchor='approach-publisher'>
<p>There is no need for multiple publishers to a PEP service, since by definition the service generates information associated with only one entity. The owner-publisher for every node is the bare JID of the account owner.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='One Node Per Namespace' anchor='approach-onenode'>
<p>There is only one publish-subscribe node associated with any given payload type (XML namespace) for the account owner (e.g., there is one pubsub node for geolocation events, one node for tune events, and one node for mood events). This simplifies node creation, discovery, publishing, and subscribing.</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Use Presence' anchor='approach-presence'>
<p>Although generic publish-subscribe services do not necessarily have access to presence information about subscribers, PEP services are integrated with presence in the following ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>Each messaging and presence account simply <em>is</em> a virtual publish-subscribe service.</li>
<li>The default access model is "presence".</li>
<li>A contact's subscription to an account owner's personal eventing data is normally handled via the existence of an XMPP presence subscription.</li>
<li>Services take account of subscriber presence in the generation of notifications. (Note: This works only if the subscription state is "both" as explained in <cite>RFC 3921</cite>.)</li>
<li>Services take account of subscriber presence in the generation of notifications. <note>This works only if the subscription state is "both" (see <cite>RFC 3921</cite>).</note></li>
</ul>
<p>These uses of presence simplify the task of developing compliant clients (cf. &xep0134;).</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Filtered Notifications' anchor='approach-filter'>
<p>By default, the existence of an XMPP presence subscription is used to establish a PEP subscription to the account owner's personal eventing data. In order to filter which notifications are sent by the PEP service, the contact's client includes extended &xep0115; information in the presence notifications it sends to the account owner. The PEP service then sends only those notifications that match the contact's expressed notification preferences, based on the "pubsub#type" of the nodes that match -- where the payload type is the wrapper namespace (if any) or, in the absence of a wrapper, the data format namespace (as described below under <link url='#approach-layering'>Semantic Layering</link>).</p>

</section2>
<section2 topic='Smart Defaults' anchor='approach-defaults'>
<p>Most pubsub configuration options and metadata are not needed for personal eventing. Instead, PEP services offer smart defaults to simplify node creation and management. The only required configuration options are the access model and the pubsub type (payload namespace).</p>
</section2>
<section2 topic='Semantic Layering' anchor='approach-layering'>
<p>There are several layers of meaning in personal eventing: <note>Version 1.0 of this specification included the principle that "there is only one publish-subscribe node associated with any given payload type (XML namespace) for the account owner (e.g., there is one pubsub node for geolocation events, one node for tune events, and one node for mood events)." The rationale for this principle was simplification of node creation, discovery, publishing, and subscribing. However, node discovery and subscribing are already simplified through the use of presence extensions. In addition, hardcoding NodeIDs in this way violates the core pubsub principle that NodeIDs shall be opaque. Therefore the "one node per namespace" principle was removed in version 1.1 of this specification in favor of NodeID registration.</note></p>
<ol>
<li>The innermost layer is the data format. This can be a generic format (such as jabber:x:data as defined in &xep0004; or Atom as defined in &rfc4287;) or a specific format such as &xep0108; or &xep0118;. If generic, it may be contained within a wrapper element (middle layer) to form the payload type; if specific, the format alone is the payload type.</li>
<li>The optional middle layer is a wrapper around a generic data format. For instance, the Atom format could be used to describe a wide range of particular information types, such as a weblog; or the jabber:x:data format could be used to structure a wide variety of forms. In this case, it may be desirable to define an optional wrapper element and namespace to differentiate between distinct uses of the data format; the wrapper and data format together describe the payload type.</li>
<li>The outermost layer is the NodeID. Although NodeIDs are opaque in the core pubsub specification, PEP defines a registry of NodeIDs for use in personal eventing as a means of differentiating between particular instances of the payload type (e.g., &xep0048; for groupchat rooms as opposed to web pages).</li>
</ol>
<p>Thus there is a one to many relationship between data formats and wrappers, and a one to many relationship between wrappers and NodeIDs. The examples below show the function of semantic layering in PEP.</p>
<p>Most pubsub configuration options and metadata are not needed for personal eventing. Instead, PEP services offer smart defaults to simplify node creation and management.</p>

<section1 topic='Account Owner Node Creation' anchor='owner-create'>
<p>When an account owner attempts to publish an item to a PEP node and that node does not already exist, the PEP service MUST automatically create the node with default configuration. <note>This similar to the room creation process in <cite>XEP-0045: Multi-User Chat</cite>.</note> However, if the account owner wishes to create a node with a configuration other than the default (e.g., a node with an access model of "open", "roster", or "whitelist"), the account owner MUST follow the node creation protocol specified in <cite>XEP-0060</cite>.</p>

<section1 topic='Contact Service Discovery' anchor='contact-disco'>
<p>A contact MAY send service discovery requests to the account owner's bare JID (&BAREJID;). Although this is not necessary in order to subscribe to the account owner's personal eventing data (as explained in the following section), it is shown here to further illustrate the role of access models.</p>
<p>First, benvolio@montague.net sends a disco#info request to juliet@capulet.com:</p>
<example caption='Unaffiliated entity queries account owner regarding identity'><![CDATA[
<iq from='benvolio@montague.net/home'
to='juliet@capulet.com'
id='disco2'
type='get'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#info'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>If Juliet's server supports PEP (thereby making juliet@capulet.com a virtual pubsub service), it MUST return an identity of "pubsub/pep":</p>
<example caption='Server communicates protocol support'><![CDATA[
<iq from='juliet@capulet.com'

<identity category='pubsub' type='pep'/>
<identity category='account' type='registered'/>
...
</query>

<p>Second, benvolio@montague.net sends a disco#items request to juliet@capulet.com:</p>
<example caption='Unaffiliated entity queries account owner regarding items'><![CDATA[
<iq from='benvolio@montague.net/home'
to='juliet@capulet.com'
id='disco3'
type='get'>
<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items'/>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>The account owner's server MUST check the access model for each of the account owner's PEP nodes and MUST return as service discovery items only those nodes to which the contact is allowed to subscribe or from which the contact is allowed to retrieve items without first subscribing.</p>
<p>Therefore, in this case, the server would return only the "http://jabber.org/protocol/tune" node (since it has an open access model and the contact does not have a presence subscription to the account owner's presence):</p>
<example caption='Server returns appropriate items'><![CDATA[
<iq from='juliet@capulet.com'
to='benvolio@montague.net/home'
id='disco3'

<query xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/disco#items'>
<item jid='juliet@capulet.com' node='http://jabber.org/protocol/tune'/>
</query>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>Next, nurse@capulet.com sends a disco#items request to juliet@capulet.com:</p>
<example caption='Contact with presence subscription queries account owner regarding items'><![CDATA[

</iq>
]]></example>
<p>However, in this case, the server would return the "http://jabber.org/protocol/tune" node (open access model) <em>and</em> the "http://jabber.org/protocol/activity" node (presence access model):</p>
<example caption='Server returns appropriate items'><![CDATA[
<iq from='juliet@capulet.com'

<item jid='juliet@capulet.com' node='http://jabber.org/protocol/activity'/>
</query>
</iq>
]]></example>
<p>Finally, romeo@montague.net sends a disco#items request to juliet@capulet.com:</p>
<example caption='Contact with presence subscription and in privileged roster group queries account owner regarding items'><![CDATA[

<section1 topic='Contact Subscription' anchor='contact-subscribe'>
<p>If an entity is not subscribed to the account owner's presence, it MUST discover and then subscribe to a node using the protocol defined in <cite>XEP-0060</cite>. However, when a contact and account owner are subscribed to each other's presence, 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>If an entity is not subscribed to the account owner's presence, it MUST subscribe to a node using the protocol defined in <cite>XEP-0060</cite>. For instance, here is how benvolio@montague.net would subscribe Juliet's tune information:</p>

<subscribe node='http://jabber.org/protocol/tune' jid='benvolio@montague.net'/>

<p>However, 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>

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>

<section1 topic='Private Data Storage' anchor='privatedata'>
<p>As noted, PEP services can be used to implement so-called "private data storage", similar in functionality to the dedicated protocol described in &xep0049; (which is often used for storing client preferences, user bookmarks, and the like). In essence, a private node is a pubsub node whose access model is "whitelist", where there are no entities in the whitelist (the account owner is automatically granted access to the node and therefore receives all node events and can retrieve items from the node at will). This results in the following functionality:</p>
<ul>
<li>The account owner is able to create as many private data nodes as desired (e.g., for client preferences, bookmarks, public keys, etc.).</li>
<li>The account owner is able to create any number of privata data nodes per payload namespace (e.g., different sets of bookmarks).</li>
<li>The account owner is able to add and delete private data in a granular fashion (not by updating the entire data store for the relevant namespace as in <cite>XEP-0049</cite>).</li>
<li>Each of the account owner's resources will receive notifications related to data updates (based on PEP's dynamic namespace matching).</li>
</ul>
<p>As noted, PEP services may be used to implement private data storage, such as defined in &xep0049;. A future version of this document will specify this usage in more detail.</p>

<section1 topic='Recommended Defaults' anchor='defaults'>

<li>Support the node discovery, node creation, node deletion, publish item, subscribe, unsubscribe, and item retrieval use cases specified in <cite>XEP-0060</cite>.</li>
<li>Support the "owner" affiliation and (for subscribers) an affiliation of "none".</li>
<li>Support the "owner" and "subscriber" affiliations.</li>
<li>Support the "presence" access model and set it to the default.</li>
<li>Support the "open", "roster", and "whitelist" access models.</li>

<p>A service SHOULD support all NodeIDs that are registered with the XMPP Registrar as described in the <link url='#registrar-pepnodes'>PEP Nodes</link> section of this document. This support shall include enforcement of the NodeID within the context of a given account, the payload type (whether wrapper or data format namespace), and any other configuration defaults as specified in the registry (this enables clients to perform seamless publish-and-create in one step).</p>
