<section1 topic='Introduction' anchor='intro'>
<p>Many modern IM clients offer functionality that enables a user to make notes about the contacts in their roster. This is helpful if such contacts do not have meaningful information in their vCard or if the user needs to remember additional information related to a roster item. To define such functionality, we specify a &lt;storage&gt; element (similar to that introduced in &xep0048;) and appropriate child elements, qualified by a new namespace of 'storage:rosternotes'. While the &lt;storage/&gt; element can be stored using any XML storage mechanism, this document describes two such methods that are specific to XMPP.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Data Format' anchor='format'>
<p>Annotations are stored using a &lt;storage/&gt; element qualified by the 'storage:rosternotes' namespace. This element contains a collection of one or more &lt;note/&gt; elements, each representing a note about a given entity. For any given JID there MUST NOT be more than one note.</p>
<p>The 'jid' attribute of the &lt;note/&gt; element SHOULD be used without a resource, i.e., it SHOULD be a bare JID (&BAREJID;) rather than a full JID (&FULLJID;). Along with the annotation a client MAY choose to store the creation time ('cdate') and modification time ('mdate') as attributes to the &lt;note/&gt; element containing the annotation; these attributes MUST conform to the DateTime profile specified in &xep0082; and the timezone SHOULD be UTC.</p>
<example caption='Some annotations'><![CDATA[

<p>Note: All notes are stored as a "bundle" within the same &lt;storage/&gt; element.</p>
</section1>
<section1 topic='Storage Methods' anchor='storage'>
<p>It is RECOMMENDED to use &xep0060; for data storage, specifically through the use of personal data nodes hosted at the user's virtual publish-subscribe service as described in &xep0223; and illustrated in the following sections.</p>
<p>Note: In the past, &xep0049; was the recommended method (see the archived version of this specification at &lt;<link url='http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0145-1.0.html'>http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/attic/xep-0048-1.0.html</link>&gt;). In addition, other methods could be used, such as HTTP or WebDAV.</p>
