Table of Contents

1. Introduction

This document specifies an extension to the Registration Data Access Protocol (RDAP) that allows RDAP servers to use JSContact [I-D.ietf-jmap-jscontact] to represent the contact information associated with entities in RDAP responses, instead of jCard [RFC7095]. It also describes the process by which an RDAP server can transition from jCard to JSContact. RDAP query and response extensions are defined to facilitate the transition process.

1.1. Rationale

According to the feedback from RDAP Pilot Working Group [RDAP-PILOT-WG], a group of RDAP server implementers representing registries and registrars of generic TLDs, the most commonly raised implementation concern, for both servers and client implementers, related to the use of jCard [RFC7095] to represent the contact information associated with entities. Working Group members reported jCard to be unintuitive, complicated to implement for both clients and servers, and incompatible with best practices for RESTful APIs.

JSContact [I-D.ietf-jmap-jscontact] provides a simpler and more efficient representation for contact information with regard to time and effort saved in processing it. In addition, similarly to jCard, it provides a means to represent internationalised and unstructured contact information. Support for internationalised contact information has been recognised being necessary to facilitate the future internationalisation of registration data directory services.

1.2. Conventions Used in This Document

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all capitals, as shown here.

2. JSContact

The JSContact specification defines a data model and JSON representation of contact information that can be used for data storage and exchange in address book or directory applications. It aims to be an alternative to the vCard data format [RFC6350] and to be unambiguous, extendable and simple to process. In contrast with jCard, it is not a direct mapping from the vCard data model and expands semantics where appropriate.

The JSContact specification declares two main object types: "Card", which represents a single contact card, and "CardGroup" which represents a collection of Card objects. For the purpose of this document, only Card objects are considered. To avoid confusion, in the following of this document, the term "JSCard" is used to refer to "JSContact Card".

JSCard differs from jCard in that it:

[I-D.ietf-jmap-jscontact-vcard] provides informational guidance on the conversion of jCard into JSCard, and vice versa.

3. Using JSCard objects in RDAP Responses

Entity objects in RDAP responses MAY include a "jscard" property whose value is a JSCard object instead of the "vCardArray" property defined in [RFC9083].

Servers returning the "jscard" property in their response MUST include "jscard_0" in the "rdapConformance" array.

The JSCard "uid" property SHOULD contain the same value as the RDAP "handle" property.

Since most of the JSCard collections are represented as maps, map keys must be defined. To aid interoperability, RDAP providers are RECOMMENDED to use as map keys the following string values and labels defined in [RFC5733]:

If present, the localized version of name, organization and postal address MUST be inserted into the "localizations" map. The following is an elided example of an RDAP entity lookup response including a JSCard object that presents the "localizations" map (See PDF for non-ASCII character string).

  "@type" : "Card",
  "uid" : "7e0636f5-e48f-4a32-ab96-b57e9c07c7aa",

  }
}

Implementers MAY use different mapping schemes to define keys for additional entries of the aforementioned maps or others. For example, a mapping scheme may consist in using a trivial sequential number (e.g. "url-1", "url-2", etc.)

The following is an example of an RDAP entity including a JSCard object that has been converted from the example in section 5.1 of [RFC9083].

3.1. RDAP Query Parameters

Two new query parameters are defined for the purpose of this document.

The query parameters are OPTIONAL extensions of path segments defined in [RFC9082]. They are as follows:

  • "jscard": a boolean value that allows a client to request the "jscard" property in the RDAP response;
  • "jcard": a boolean value that allows a client to request the "vcardArray" property in the RDAP response.

These parameters are furtherly explained in Section 4.

4. Transition Considerations

4.1. RDAP Features Supporting a Transition Process

RDAP allows servers to communicate service information to clients through notices. According to Section 4.3 of [RFC9083], an RDAP response may contain one or more notice objects. Each notice may include a set of link objects, which can be used to provide clients with references and documentation. These link objects may have a "rel" property which defines the relationship type, as described in [RFC8288], Section 4. The transition process outlined in this document uses two types of link relation:

4.1.2. rdapConformance Property

The information about the specifications used in the construction of the response is also described by the strings which appear in the "rdapConformance" property of the RDAP response.

4.1.3. Query Parameters

Clients are able to ask servers to use the query parameters defined in Section 3.1 in accordance with [RFC9082].

4.2. Transition Procedure

The principles of the procedure for jCard to JSCard transition are based on the best practices in [API-DEPRECATION].

The procedure consists of four contiguous stages. During the procedure, the presence of "jscard_0" tag in the rdapConformance array indicates that JSCard is returned instead of jCard. The date and time format used to notify clients about the stages of this procedure is defined in [RFC3339].

4.2.1. Goals

The procedure described in this document aims to achieve the following goals:

  • only one contact representation would be included in the response;
  • the response would always be compliant to [RFC9083] because:

    • being the "jscard" property a response extension, its presence would be signaled by the "jscard_0" conformance tag;
    • being "vcardArray" property optional in a response, its absence would be allowed;
  • clients would be informed about the transition timeline;
  • the backward compatibility would be guaranteed throughout the transition;
  • servers and clients could execute their transitions independently.

4.2.2. Transition Stages

4.2.2.1. Stage 1: only jCard provided

This stage corresponds to providing jCard as default contact card [RFC9083]. The RDAP server is not able to provide an alternate contact card. The rdapConformance array MUST NOT contain the "jscard_0" tag.

4.2.2.2. Stage 2: jCard sunset

During this stage, the server uses jCard by default, but the RDAP server will return JSCard if the client sets the query parameter "jscard" to 1/true/yes. The rdapConformance array MUST contain the "jscard_0" tag if JSCard is returned.

From this stage on, the RDAP server MUST include the "jscard_0" tag in the rdapConformance array of the help response to signal clients that JSCard can be returned instead of jCard.

The RDAP server SHOULD include a notice titled "jCard sunset end". Such a notice includes a description reporting the jCard sunset end date and time and two OPTIONAL links:

  • "deprecation": a link to a URI-identified resource documenting the jCard deprecation;
  • "alternate": if JSCard is not requested, a link to an alternate result view identified by the current query string plus the parameter "jscard" set to 1/true/yes (Figure 3); otherwise, only the "deprecation" link can be provided (Figure 4).

    ]
  }
]
Figure 4: jCard sunset - JSCard requested
4.2.2.3. Stage 3: jCard deprecation

This stage corresponds to the provisioning of JSCard by default, but the RDAP will return jCard if the client sets the query parameter "jcard" to 1/true/yes. The rdapConformance array contains the "jscard_0" tag unless jCard is returned. The "jscard" query parameter MUST be ignored.

The RDAP server SHOULD return a notice titled "jCard deprecation end". Such a notice includes a description reporting the jCard deprecation end date and time and two OPTIONAL links:

  • "deprecation": a link to a URI-identified resource documenting the jCard deprecation;
  • "alternate": if jCard is not requested, a link to an alternate result view identified by the current query string plus the parameter "jcard" set to 1/true/yes (Figure 5); otherwise, a link to the result view identified by the current query string without the parameter "jcard" (Figure 6).

  }
]
Figure 6: jCard deprecation - jCard requested
4.2.2.4. Stage 4: jCard deprecated

This stage corresponds to providing JSCard as default contact card. The RDAP server is not able to provide an alternate contact card. The rdapConformance array always contains "jscard_0" tag. The RDAP server doesn't include any notice about the jCard deprecation process. Both "jscard" and "jcard" query parameters MUST be ignored.

4.2.2.5. Length

The length of both jCard sunset and jCard deprecation periods are not fixed by this specification. Best practices in REST API deprecation suggest that, depending on the deprecated API's reach, user base and service offering, a convenient time could be anywhere between 3 - 8 months. Anyway, RDAP providers are RECOMMENDED to monitor the server log to figure out whether declared times need to be changed to meet client requirements.

6. IANA Considerations

IANA is requested to register the following values in the RDAP Extensions Registry:

7. Security Considerations

Unlike jCard, the formatted name as well as any other personally identifiable information is not required in JSCard. The only mandatory property, namely "uid", is not a sensitive information as it happens, instead, for the "fn" property in jCard. Therefore, redacted properties can be merely excluded without using placeholder values. This means that, with reference to what is described in [I-D.ietf-regext-rdap-redacted], only the "Removal" method can be used for redacting JSContact properties whereas the "Empty Value" is also used for redacting jCard.
