1. Requirements (2001-01-31):

1.1 Problem Setting

The WebDAV specification, IETF RFC 2518, provides a mechanism for the open-ended, decentralized introduction of properties using XML and XML namespaces.

There is no defined mechanism for registering and interchanging the definitions of properties so that participants in WebDAV-based document creation, access, and interchange may comprehend and honor the definitions of properties associated with WebDAV resources (e.g., documents).

1.2 Project Definition

From the IETF WebDAV Working Group Charter:?

Deliverable 6. A Property Registry, describing a process for registering WebDAV properties, and the contents of each registry item. [Informational]

The property registry document is new work.

1.3 Objectives

• Agreement on requirements for WebDAV Property Registration.
• Identify and review the WebDAV property model and the provisions incorporated in that model for interoperable discovery and usage of properties and of property descriptions.
• Identify and review existing and proposed mechanisms for metadata registration and interchange
• Develop and edit Internet Draft for WebDAV Property Registration
• Operate consensus process to establish Internet RFC for WebDAV Property Registration on the IETF Standards Track.

2. Constraints (2001-01-31)

The project will be conducted as a sub-group of the IETF WebDAV Working Group, with all IETF requirements for conduct of standards work honored (IETF rfc 2026, The Internet Standards Process, rev. 3).
