File metadata format draft

[Miguel Garcia <Miguel.Garcia at nsn.com>]

Hi:

I have submitted a draft that defines an XML schema for describing files
and associated metadata. I am referring to this draft:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-garcia-app-area-file-data-format-00.txt

The background of this draft is as follows: We first submitted a SIP
event package for subscribing to changes in files stored in a remote
endpoint. The idea is to use SIP to emulate the "shared folder"
functionality that is available in common instant messaging and presence
clients. A part of the overall function is a format for describing files
and associated metadata.

At the last IETF meeting, I got a few comments indicating that the data
format could be reused by other protocols, namely HTTP, and thus, it
should be split out from the draft and discussed in the Apss area. So
this is what I am doing.

So, the authors would like to get comments and questions about the document.

Yours,

       Miguel
