<section1 topic='Introduction'>
|
|
<p>The &oasiscap; (CAP) is an open format for alerts and notifications, defined by &OASIS;. CAP was developed to address the call, published in a (U.S.) National Science and Technology Council report, for "a standard method ... to collect and relay instantaneously and automatically all types of hazard warnings and reports". Given that the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (see &xmppcore;) provides a near-real-time transport mechanism for structured information, and that CAP is defined as an XML data format, it makes sense to define a way to transport CAP information over XMPP. Such a method is defined herein.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Terminology'>
|
|
<p>The keywords "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in &rfc2119;.</p>
|
|
</section1>
|
|
<section1 topic='Protocol'>
|
|
<p>Because the alerts and notifications structured via CAP require a "push" medium, they SHOULD be sent via the XML &MESSAGE; stanza defined in <cite>XMPP Core</cite>. The message could be sent using either of the following methods:</p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Directly from the sender to a single recipient, a list of recipients (using &xep0033;), or a &xep0045; room</li>
|
|
<li>Published to a list of subscribers via &xep0060;</li>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>Both methods are described below.</p>
|
|
<section2 topic='Direct Messages'>
|
|
<p>In the case of direct messages, the message stanza SHOULD have no 'type' attribute, but MAY have any defined type that is appropriate to the communications context (e.g., "groupchat" in a text conference). The <alert/> element SHOULD be the only child element of the message stanza, but other elements MAY be included as necessary (e.g., a <body/> child in the 'jabber:client' namespace providing a natural-language description of the alert). The 'id' attribute of the &MESSAGE; stanza MAY be set to the value of the CAP <identifier/> element.</p>
|
|
<p>The following example shows Example A.2 from the CAP specification sent as a direct message.</p>
