Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Recording Metadata
draft-ietf-siprec-metadata-11
Abstract
Session recording is a critical requirement in many communications
environments such as call centers and financial trading. In some of
these environments, all calls must be recorded for regulatory,
compliance, and consumer protection reasons. Recording of a session
is typically performed by sending a copy of a media stream to a
recording device. This document describes the metadata model as
viewed by Session Recording Server(SRS) and the Recording metadata
format.

Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
1. Introduction
Session recording is a critical requirement in many communications
environments such as call centers and financial trading. In some of
these environments, all calls must be recorded for regulatory,
compliance, and consumer protection reasons. Recording of a session
is typically performed by sending a copy of a media stream to a
recording device. This document focuses on the Recording metadata
which describes the communication session. The document describes a
metadata model as viewed by Session Recording Server and the
Recording metadata format, the requirements for which are described
in [RFC6341] and the architecture for which is described in
[I-D.ietf-siprec-architecture].
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. This
document only uses these key words when referencing normative
statements in existing RFCs."
3. Definitions
Metadata Model: An abstract representation of metadata using a
Unified Modelling Language(UML) class diagram.
Metadata classes: Each block in the model represents a class. A
class is a construct that is used as a blueprint to create
instances(called objects) of itself. The description of each class
also has representation of its attributes in a second compartment
below the class name.
Attributes: Attributes represents the attributes listed in each of
the classes. The attributes of a class are listed in the second
compartment below the class name. Each instance of class conveys
values for these attributes which adds to the recording's Metadata.
Linkages: Linkages represents the relationship between the classes in
the model. It represents the logical connections betweens classes(or
objects) in class diagrams/ object diagrams. The linkages used in
the Metadata model of this document are associations.

+------------------+ +----------------------+
The Metadata model is a class diagram in Unified Modelling
Language(UML). The model describes the structure of a metadata in
general by showing the classes, their attributes, and the
relationships among the classes. Each block in the model above
represents a class. The linkages between the classes represents the
relationships which can be associations or Composition. The metadata
is conveyed from SRC to SRS.
The model allows the capture of a snapshot of a recording's Metadata
at a given instant in time. Metadata changes to reflect changes in
what is being recorded. For example, if in a conference a
participant joins SRC sends a snapshot of metadata having that
participant information (with attributes like name/AoR pair and
associate-time) to the SRS.
Some of the metadata is not required to be conveyed explicitly from
the SRC to the SRS, if it can be obtained contextually by the
SRS(e.g., from SIP or SDP signalling).
5. Recording Metadata Format
This section gives an overview of Recording Metadata Format. Some
data from the metadata model is assumed to be made available to the
SRS through Session Description Protocol (SDP)[RFC4566], and
therefore this data is not represented in the XML document format
specified in this document. SDP attributes describes about different
media formats like audio, video. The other metadata attributes like
participant details are represented in a new Recording specific XML
document namely application/rs-metadata+xml. The SDP label attribute
[RFC4574] provides an identifier by which a metadata XML document can
refer to a specific media description in the SDP sent from the SRC to
the SRS.
The XML document format can be used to represent either the complete
metadata or a partial update to the metadata. The latter includes
only elements that have changed compared to the previously reported
metadata.
5.1. XML data format
Recording Metadata document is an XML document. recording element
MUST be present in all recording metadata XML document. recording
acts as container for all other elements in this XML document.
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
Recording object is a XML document. It MUST have the XML declaration
and it SHOULD contain an encoding declaration in the XML declaration,
e.g., "". If the charset
parameter of the MIME content type declaration is present and it is
different from the encoding declaration, the charset parameter takes
precedence.
Every application conforming to this specification MUST accept the
UTF-8 character encoding to ensure the minimal interoperability.
Syntax and semantics error in recording XML document has to be
informed to the originator using application specific mechanism.
5.1.1. Namespace
The namespace URI for elements defined by this specification is a
Uniform Resource Namespace (URN) [RFC2141], using the namespace
identifier 'ietf' defined by [RFC2648] and extended by [RFC3688].
The URN is as follows: urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:recording
5.1.2. recording
recording element MUST contain an xmlns namespace attribute with
value as urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:recording. One recording element
MUST be present in the all recording metadata XML document.
dataMode element shows whether the XML document is complete document
or partial update. The default value is complete.
6. Recording Metadata classes
This section describes each class of the metadata model, and the
attributes of each class. This section also describes how different
classes are linked and the XML element for each of them.

Communication Communication
Session Session Group(CS Group)
Each instance of a Recording Session class (namely the Recording
Session Object) represents a SIP session created between an SRC and
SRS for the purpose of recording a Communication Session.
6.1.1. Attributes
A Recording Session class has the following attributes:
o Start/End Time - Represents the Start/End time of a Recording
Session object.
6.1.2. Linkages
Each instance of Recording Session has:
o Zero or more instances of Communication Session Group. CSG may be
zero because it is optional metadata object. Also the allowance
of zero instances is to accommodate persistent recording, where
there may be none.
o Zero or more instances of Communication Session objects.
6.1.3. XML element
Recording Session object is represented by recording XML element.
That in turn relies on the SIP/SDP session with which the XML
document is associated to provide some of the attributes of the
Recording Session element.
Start and End time value are derivable from Date header(if present in
SIP message) in RS. In cases where Date header is not present,
Start/End time are derivable from the time at which SRS receives the
notification of SIP message to setup RS / disconnect RS.

Communication Session (CS)
One instance of a Communication Session Group class (namely the
Communication Session Group object) provides association or linking
of Communication Sessions.
6.2.1. Attributes
A CS Group has the following attributes:
o Unique-ID - This Unique-ID is to group different CSs that are
related. SRC (or SRS) is responsible for ensuring the uniqueness
of Unique-ID in case multiple SRC interacts with the same SRS.
The mechanism by which SRC groups the CS is outside the scope of
SIPREC.
o Associate-time - Associate-time for CS-Group shall be calculated
by SRC as the time when a grouping is formed. The rules that
determine how a grouping of different Communication Session
objects is done by SRC is outside the scope of SIPREC.
o Disassociate-time - Disassociate-time for CS-Group shall be
calculated by SRC as the time when the grouping ends
6.2.2. Linkages
The linkages between Communication Session Group class and other
classes is association. A communication Session Group is associated
with RS and CS in the following manner:
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
o There is one or more Recording Session objects per Communication
Session Group.
o Each Communication Session Group object has to be associated with
one or more RS [Here each RS can be setup by the potentially
different SRCs]
o There is one or more Communication Sessions per CS Group [e.g.
Consult Transfer]
6.2.3. XML element
Group element is an optional element provides the information about
the communication session group
Each communication session group (CSG)object is represented using one
group element. Each group element has unique Base 64 URN UUID
attribute which helps to uniquely identify CSG.

represents Communication Session and its properties needed as seen by
SRC.
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 10]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
6.3.1. Attributes
A communication Session class has the following attributes:
o Termination Reason - This represents the reason why a CS was
terminated. The communication session MAY contain a Call
Termination Reason. This MAY be derived from SIP Reason header
[RFC3326] of CS.
o CS Identifier - This attribute is used to uniquely identify a CS.
o Start-time - This optional attribute represents start time of CS
as seen by SRC
o Stop-time - This optional attribute represents stop time of CS as
seen by SRC
This document does not specify attributes relating to what should
happen to a recording of a CS after it has been delivered to the SRS,
e.g., how long to retain the recording, what access controls to
apply. The SRS is assumed to behave in accordance with policy. The
ability for the SRC to influence this policy is outside the scope of
this document. However if there are implementations where SRC has
enough information, this could be sent as Extension Data attached to
CS
6.3.2. Linkages
A Communication Session is linked to CS-Group, Participant, Media
Stream and Recording Session classes using the association
relationship. Association between CS and Participant allows:
o CS to have atleast zero or more participants
o Participant is associated with zero or more CSs. This includes
participants who are not directly part of any CS. An example of
such a case is participants in a premixed media stream. The SRC
may have knowledge of such Participants, yet not have any
signaling relationship with them. This might arise if one
participant in CS is a conf focus. To summarize even if SRC does
not have direct signalling relationships with all participants in
a CS, it should nevertheless create a Participant object for each
participant that it knows about.
o The model also allows participants in CS that are not participants
in the media. An example is the identity of a 3pcc controller
that has initiated a CS to two or more participants of the CS.
Another example is the identity of a conference focus. Of course
a focus is probably in the media, but since it may only be there
as a mixer, it may not report itself as a participant in any of
the media streams.
Association between CS and Media Stream allows:
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 11]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
o A CS to have zero or more Streams
o A stream can be associated with at most one CS. Stream in
persistent RS is not required to be associated with any CS before
CS is created and hence the zero association is allowed.
Association between CS and RS allows:
o Each instance of RS has Zero or more instances of Communication
Session objects.
o Each CS has to be associated with one more RS [ Here each RS can
be potentially setup by different SRCs]
6.3.3. XML element
Session element provides the information about the communication
session
Each communication session(CS) object is represented by one session
element. Each session element has unique Base 64 URN UUID attribute
which helps to uniquely identify CS.
Reason element MAY be included to represent the Termination Reason
attribute. group-ref element MAY exist to indicate the group where
the mentioned session belongs.

it sees a CS is associated to a RS
o Disassociate-time- Disassociate-time is calculated by SRC as the
time it see a CS disassociate from a RS.
It is possible that a given CS can have multiple associate/
disassociate times within given RS.
6.4.2. Linkages
CSRS association class is linked to CS and RS classes. There are no
cardinalties for this linkage.

Media Stream
A Participant class and its objects has information about a device
that is part of a CS and/or contributes/consumes media stream(s)
belonging to a CS.
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
6.5.1. Attributes
Participant has attributes like:
o AoR / Name pair list - This attribute is a list of Name/AoR tuple.
An AoR MAY be SIP/SIPS/TEL URI. Name represents Participant
name(SIP display name) or DN number ( in case it is known). There
are cases where a participant can have more than one AoR [e.g.
P-Asserted-identity header [RFC3325] which can have both SIP and
TEL URIs]
This document does not specify other attributes relating to
participant e.g. Participant Role, Participant type. An SRC which
has information of these attributes can indicate the same as part of
extension data to Participant from SRC to SRS.
6.5.2. Linkages
The participant class is linked to MS and CS class using association
relationship. The association between participant and Media Stream
allows:
o Participant to receives zero or more media streams
o Participant to send zero or more media streams. (Same participant
provides multiple streams e.g. audio and video)
o Media stream to be received by zero or more participants. Its
possible, though perhaps unlikely, that a stream is generated but
sent only to the SRC and SRS, not to any participant. E.g. In
conferencing where all participants are on hold and the SRC is
collocated with the focus. Also a media stream may be received by
multiple participants (e.g. Whisper calls, side conversations).
o Media stream to be sent by one or more participants (pre-mixed
streams).
Example of a case where a participant receives Zero or more streams -
a Supervisor may have side conversation with Agent, while Agent
converses with customer.
6.5.3. XML element
A participant element represents a Participant object.
Participant MUST have a NameID complex element which contains AoR as
attribute and Name as element. AOR element is SIP/SIPS URI FQDN or
IP address which represents the user. name is an optional element to
represent display name.
Each participant element has unique ID (Base 64 URN UUID) attribute
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
which helps to uniquely identify participant and session Base 64 URN
UUID to associate participant with specific session element. Base 64
URN UUID of participant MUST used in the scope of CSG and no new Base
64 URN UUID has to be created for the same element (participant,
stream) between different CS in the same CSG. In case Base 64 URN
UUID has to be used permanent, careful usage of Base 64 URN UUID to
original AoR has to be decided by the implementers and it is
implementer's choice.

A participantCS Association class and its objects has attributes of
participant object which are attributes of association of a
participant to a Session.
6.6.1. Attributes
ParticipantCS association class has the following attributes:
o Associate-time - associate-time is calculated by SRC as the time
it sees a participant is associated to CS
o Disassociate-time- Disassociate-time is calculated by SRC as the
time it see a participant disassociate from a CS. It is possible
that a given participant can have multiple associate/disassociate
times within given communication session.
o Capabilities - A participant capabilities as defined in [RFC3840]
which is an optional attribute that includes the capabilities of a
participant in a CS. Each participant shall have Zero or more
capabilities. A participant may use different capabilities
depending on the role it plays at a particular instance. IOW if a

participants moves across different CSs ( due to transfer e.t.c)
OR is simultaneously present in different CSs its role may be
different and hence the capability used.
o "send" or "recv" element in each participant is associating SDP
m-lines with the participant. send element indicates that
participant is sending the stream of media with the mentioned
media description. recv element indicates that participant is
receiving the stream and by default all participant will receive
the stream. recv element has relevance in case whisper call
scenario wherein few of the participant in the session receives
the stream and not others.
6.6.2. Linkages
The participantCS association class is linked to participant and CS
classes. There are no cardinalties for this linkage.
6.6.3. XML element

change like pause/resume and/or codec change and/or participant
change.).
6.7.1. Attributes
A Media Stream class has the the following attributes:
o Media Stream Reference - In implementations this can reference to
m-line
o Content - The content of an MS element will be described in terms
of value from the [RFC4796] registry.
The metadata model should include media streams that are not being
delivered to the SRS. Examples include cases where SRC offered
certain media types but SRS chooses to accept only a subset of them
OR an SRC may not even offer a certain media type due it its
restrictions to record
6.7.2. Linkages
A Media Stream is linked to participant and CS classes using the
association relationship. The details of association with the
Participant are described in the Participant class section. The
details of association with CS is mentioned in the CS section.
6.7.3. XML element
stream element represents a Media Stream object. Stream element
indicates SDP media lines associated with the session and
participants.
This element indicates the SDP m-line properties like label
attributes. Label attribute is used to link m-line SDP body using
label attribute in SDP m-line.
Each stream element has unique Base 64 URN UUID attribute which helps
to uniquely identify stream and session Base 64 URN UUID to associate
stream with specific session element.
The content attribute if an SRC wishes to send is conveyed in RS SDP.
6.8. ParticipantStream Association

+-------------------+ | | |
+----------Media Stream
A ParticipantStream association class and its object has attributes
that are attributes of association of a Participant to a Stream.
6.8.1. Attributes
A participantStream association class has the following attributes:
o Associate-Time: This attributes indicates the time a Participant
started contributing to a Media Stream
o Disassociate-Time: This attribute indicates the time a Participant
stopped contributing to a Media Stream
6.8.2. Linkages
The participantStream association class is linked to participant and
Stream classes. There are no cardinalties for this linkage.
6.8.3. XML element
ParticipantStreamAssoc XML element represents participant to stream
association object. participant element is used to uniquely identify
this element and related with stream using stream unique URN id..
6.9. associate-time/disassociate-time
associate-time/disassociate-time contains a string indicating the
date and time of the status change of this tuple. The value of this
element MUST follow the IMPP datetime format [RFC3339]. Timestamps
that contain 'T' or 'Z' MUST use the capitalized forms. At a time,
any of the time tuple associate-time or disassociate-time MAY exist
in the element namely group, session, participant and not both
timestamp at the same time.
As a security measure, the timestamp element SHOULD be included in
all tuples unless the exact time of the status change cannot be

Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
determined.
6.10. Unique ID format
Unique id is generated in two steps:
o UUID is created using [RFC4122])
o UUID is encoded using base64 as defined in [RFC4648]
The above mentioned unique-id mechanism SHOULD be used for each
metadata element.
6.11. Metadata version Indicator
This section defines a version indicator for metadata XML.
This version value allows the SRS to know the exact metadata XML
schema sent by the SRC. This document describes version 1. The
value '1' represent SIPREC metadata version. Implementations may not
interoperate if the version implemented by the sender is not known by
the receiver. No negotiation of versions is provided. There is no
significance to the version number although documents which update or
obsolete this document (possibly including drafts of such documents)
should include a higher version number if the metadata XML schema
changes.

9. Security Considerations
The metadata information sent from SRC to SRS MAY reveal sensitive
information about different participants in a session. For this
reason, it is RECOMMENDED that a SRC use a strong means for
authentication and metadata information protection and that it apply
comprehensive authorization rules when using the metadata format
defined in this document. The following sections will discuss each
of these aspects in more detail.
9.1. Connection Security
It is RECOMMENDED that a SRC authenticate SRS using the normal SIP
authentication mechanisms, such as Digest as defined in Section 22 of
[RFC3261]. The mechanism used for conveying the metadata information
Ravindranath, et al. Expires August 2, 2013 [Page 25]
Internet-Draft SIP Recording Metadata January 2013
MUST ensure integrity and SHOULD ensure confidentially of the
information. In order to achieve these, an end-to-end SIP encryption
mechanism, such as S/MIME described in [RFC3261], SHOULD be used.
If a strong end-to-end security means (such as above) is not
available, it is RECOMMENDED that a SRC use mutual hop-by-hop
Transport Layer Security (TLS) authentication and encryption
mechanisms described in "SIPS URI Scheme" and "Interdomain Requests"
of [RFC3261].
10. IANA Considerations
This specification registers a new XML namespace, and a new XML
schema.
