Introduction This document creates a registry for location type tokens. We anticipate that the network, through configuration or management protocols, tells a mobile device what kind of location it finds itself in. The device and associated software can then tailor its behavior to the environment. For example, this document defines the terms "classroom","place-of-worship""place-of-worship", and "theater". A considerate owner of a cell phone might program the device to switch from ringer to vibrate mode in such environments. Just knowing the geographic location, be it as civic (street address) or geospatialcoordinatescoordinates, would generally not allow the device to make a similar decision. Naturally, the number of descriptive terms for physical environments is almost unbounded. This registry tries to identify common terms that are likely to be useful for communications devices and for controlling and guidingcommunicationcommunications behavior. The terms roughly correspond to the level of details of location descriptions and icons found on geographic maps, for example, and are meant to be in common use across a variety of cultures and countries. The registration process described in the IANA Considerations section allowsto extendthis list to be extended as needed, while aiming to prevent an unnecessary explosion in the registry. The use oftokens, i.e.,tokens (i.e., protocolconstants,constants) makes it easier to build systems across multiple languages. A user interface can readily translate a finite set of tokens to user-appropriate textual or iconic representations. Protocols using this registry are encouraged to provide additional mechanisms to accommodate location types not currently registered via free-text fields with appropriate language and character set labeling. The terms defined in this registry do not attempt to provide a hierarchy of location descriptions, except in certain special cases. For example, the term "restaurant" is defined to include the term"cafe""cafe", and the term "public" encompasses a range of descriptors, as noted below. The registry makes these more generic terms available as often the more detailed distinctions may not be available, or privacy concerns suggest the use of less precise terms that are still sufficient to guide communications behavior or evaluate the source of a phone call or message, say. In many cases, a location might be described by multiple terms that apply at the same time. For example, the combination of "restaurant" and "airport" is immediately recognizable. This registry makes no attempt to limit the number of terms that can be used to describe a single place or to restrict what combinations are allowed, given that there are few combinations that are physically impossible. Common sense is probably a better guide here; the authors would not want to rule out creative business models such as combinations of "parking" and "restaurant" or "bar" and "hospital". The number of terms that can be used within the same protocol element is left to the protocol description. This document does not describe how the values of the registry are to be used, as this description is provided by other documents. For example,[4],[5] describesaoptions for carrying civic address information, including theplace-typeplace type attributes listed in this document, using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCPv4 and DHCPv6). A usage forRADIUSRemote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) is described in[5],[6], where this information is conveyed from the RADIUS client to the RADIUS server. Rich presence (RPID[6])[4]) also utilizes the values of the locationtypetypes registry. 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 [1]. 3.

Schema This registry can be used in two ways,first,asfirst, as a list of tokens, to be referenced by appropriate protocols that accept textualtokenstokens, andsecondlysecond, as a schema, with its own namespace, referenced by other schema, eitherexplicityexplicitly or via namespace="##other". <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xs:schema targetNamespace="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:location-type" xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:location-type" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> <xs:complexType name="empty"/> <xs:complexType name="Note_t"> <xs:simpleContent> <xs:extension base="xs:string"> <xs:attribute ref="xml:lang"/> </xs:extension> </xs:simpleContent> </xs:complexType> <xs:element name="aircraft" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="airport" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="arena" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="automobile" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="bank" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="bar" type="empty" /> <xs:elementname="bus"name="bicyle" type="empty" /> <xs:elementname="bicyle"name="bus" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="bus-station" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="cafe" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="classroom" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="club" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="construction" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="convention-center" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="government" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="hospital" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="hotel" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="industrial" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="library" type="empty" /> <xs:elementname="motorcyle"name="motorcycle" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="office" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="other" type="Note_t"/> <xs:element name="outdoors" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="parking" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="place-of-worship" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="prison" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="public" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="public-transport" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="residence" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="restaurant" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="school" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="shopping-area" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="stadium" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="store" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="street" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="theater" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="train" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="train-station" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="truck" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="underway" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="unknown" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="warehouse" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="water" type="empty" /> <xs:element name="watercraft" type="empty" /> </xs:schema> 5. IANA Considerations5.15.1. Registering Tokens This document creates new IANA registries for location types as listed in Section33, starting with 'aircraft' and finishing with 'watercraft'. IANA will maintain this registry both in the form of an XML schema and a list of tokens, with the same content. Following the policies outline in RFC 2434 [2], new tokens are assigned after ExpertReview by theReview. The Expert Reviewerappointed bywill generally consult theIESG. The same procedure applies to updatesIETF GeoPRIV working group mailing list or its designated successor. Updates or deletions of tokenswithin the registry and to deleting tokensfrom theregistry.registration follow the same procedures. The expert review should be guided by a fewcommon-sensecommon sense considerations. For example, tokens should not be specific to a country, region,organizationorganization, orcompany,company; they should bewell-definedwell- defined andshould bewidely recognized. TheExpert'sexpert's support of IANA will include providing IANA with the new token(s) when the update is provided only in the form of a schema, and providing IANA with the new schema element(s) when the update is provided only in the form of a token. To ensure widespread usability across protocols, tokens MUST follow the character set restrictions for XML Names [3]. Each registration must include the name of the token and a brief description similar to the ones offeredinherein for the initial registrations contained this document: Token Identifier: Identifier of the token. Description: Brief description indicating the meaning of the token, including one or more examples where the term encompasses several more precise terms. XML namespace: Tokens MAY be used as elements within other appropriate XML documents. Each token lists the namespace it is part of, typically urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:location-type:ext, where 'ext' is the name of the extension. Note that the usage of these tokens is not limited to XML and the 'Token Identifier' is the XML element content and not the XML element name.5.25.2.

Internationalization Considerations Thelocation-typelocation type values listed in this document MUST NOT be presented to the user. The values therefore have the characteristic of tokens or tags and no internationalization support is required. 7. Security Considerations This document defines a registry for location types and as such does not raise security issues. 8.
