1.  Introduction

   This document describes an IRIS registry schema for registries of
   ENUM data using an XML Schema [4] derived from and using the IRIS [5]
   schema.

   The schema given is this document is specified using the Extensible
   Markup Language (XML) 1.0 as described in XML [1], XML Schema
   notation as described in XML_SD [3] and XML_SS [4], and XML
   Namespaces as described in XML_NS [2].

2.  Document 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 RFC 2119 [10].

   This document uses the term "ENUM" as the fully qualified domain name
   following the conventions of ENUM [17].

3.  Schema Description

   IRIS requires the derivation of both query and result elements by a
   registry schema.  These descriptions follow.

   References to XML elements with no namespace qualifier are from the
   schema defined in Section 4.  References to elements and attributes
   with the "iris" XML namespace qualifier are from the schema defined
   in IRIS [5].

   The descriptions contained within this section refer to XML elements
   and attributes and their relation to the exchange of data within the
   protocol.  These descriptions also contain specifications outside the
   scope of the formal XML syntax.  Therefore, this section will use
   terms defined by RFC 2119 [10] to describe the specification outside
   the scope of the formal XML syntax.  While reading this section,
   please reference Section 4 for needed details on the formal XML
   syntax.

3.1.  Query Derivatives

3.1.1.  <findEnumsByE164> Query

   <findEnumsByE164> finds ENUM domains by searching on prefixes of
   E.164 numbers and returns <enum> (Section 3.2.3) results.

   The E.164 prefix is specified using the <e164Prefix> child of
   <findEnumsByE164>.  An optional child element of <findEnumsByE164>,
   <specificity>, can narrow the search to ENUM domains associated with
   E.164 numbers that are either more specific or less specific.  If the
   <specificity> element is present and has the content 'less', then the
   search is to be narrowed to E.164 numbers that are less specific
   (i.e., have fewer digits).  If the <specificity> element is present
   and has the content 'more', then the search is to be narrowed to
   E.164 numbers that are more specific (i.e., have more digits).

3.1.2.  <findEnumsByContact> Query

   <findEnumsByContact> finds ENUM domains by searches on fields
   associated with an ENUM domain's contact.

   The allowable search fields are handled with either the
   <contactHandle> element or one of the elements in the
   "contactSearchGroup" (see Section 3.1.5).  The <contactHandle>
   element allows for the ENUM domains to be selected based on the
   contact having the specified contact handle.

   The query MAY also be constrained further using the optional <role>
   element.  The contents of this element signify the role the contact
   has with the ENUM domain.

   This query also provides optional <language> elements containing
   language tags.  Clients MAY use these elements to give a hint about
   the natural language(s) of the affected element.  Servers MAY use
   this information in processing the query, such as tailoring
   normalization routines to aid in more effective searches.

3.1.3.  <findContacts> Query

   <findContacts> searches for contacts given search constraints.

   The allowable search fields are handled by one of the elements in the
   "contactSearchGroup" (see Section 3.1.5).

   This query also provides optional <language> elements containing
   language tags.  Clients MAY use these elements to give a hint about
   the natural language(s) of the affected element.  Servers MAY use
   this information in processing the query, such as tailoring
   normalization routines to aid in more effective searches.

3.1.4.  <findEnumsByHost> Query

   This query does a simple search for the ENUM domains being hosted by
   a name server.  The search is constrained using either the host name
   [12], host handle, IPv4 address, or IPv6 address of the name server.

3.1.5.  Contact Search Group

   Some of the queries above have similar query constraints for
   searching on contacts.  This section describes those common
   parameters.

   <commonName> allows the query to be constrained based on the common
   name of the contact.  The constraint can either constrain the query
   by an exact match using the <exactMatch> element, or it may constrain
   the query by a subset of the common name using the <beginsWith> and
   <endsWith> elements.

   <organization> allows the query to be constrained based on the
   organization name of the contact.  It has the same semantics as the
   <commonName> element.

   <eMail> constrains the query based on the e-mail address of the
   contact.  This may be done by an exact e-mail address using the
   <exactMatch> element or by any e-mail address in a domain using the
   <inDomain> element.  The <inDomain> MUST only contain a valid domain
   name (i.e., no '@' symbol), and the matching SHOULD take place only
   on the domain given (i.e., no partial matches with respect to
   substrings or parent domains).  If either the contents of the
   <inDomain> element or domain part of the contents of the <exactMatch>
   element contain a name with non-ASCII characters, they MUST be
   normalized according to the processes of RFC 3491 [15].

   The <city>, <region>, and <postalCode> elements restrict the scope of
   the query based on the city, region, or postal code of the contact,
   respectively.  Each one must only contain an <exactMatch> element
   containing the exact city, region, or postal code (i.e., no substring
   searches).

3.2.  Result Derivatives

3.2.1.  Privacy Labels

   Several of the results in this registry type have values that cannot
   be given but must be specified as present or must be flagged so that
   clients do not divulge them.  In order to achieve this, some of the
   results use the following element types:

   o  "dateTimePrivacyType" - contains the XML Schema [3] data type
      "dateTime".  The contents of this element MUST be specified using
      the 'Z' indicator for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

   o  "stringPrivacyType" - contains the XML Schema [3] data type
      "string".

   o  "normalizedStringPrivacyType" - contains the XML Schema [3] data
      type "normalizedString".

   o  "tokenPrivacyType" - contains the XML Schema [3] data type
      "token".

   o  "enumStatusType" - describes a state for an ENUM domain.  This
      element has the following optional attributes:

      *  'scope' - indicates the scope or origin of the status value.

      *  'disposition' - contains either the value "pending", meaning
         that initial processing for this status has begun and is not
         yet complete, or the value "prohibited", meaning this ENUM
         domain cannot achieve this status according to either the
         registry or registrar of this ENUM domain.

      *  'actor' - contains either the value "registry", meaning this
         status value has been associated with this ENUM domain by the
         registry, or the value "registrar", meaning this status value
         has been associated with this ENUM domain by the registrar.

      This element has the following optional child elements:

      *  <appliedDate> - indicates the date and time the status was
         applied.

      *  <description> - provides a textual description of the status.
         This element has a required 'language' attribute.

      *  <subStatus> - indicates a jurisdictional-dependent reason for
         this status value.  This element has a required 'authority'
         attribute to indicate the jurisdictional authority associated
         with this sub-status.

   o  "contactTypeType" - contains an optional <description> child
      elements.  Each <description> child element requires a 'language'
      attribute.

   As specified, they are nillable and therefore may be present with
   empty content or present with their specified content.  The use of
   these elements is also optional.

   If present without content, each of these element types MUST have one
   or more of the following boolean attributes:

   o  'private' - if true, this specifies that the content is absent
      because it may never be published.

   o  'denied' - if true, this specifies that the content is absent
      because policy does not allow it to be given under the current
      level of access.

   If present with content, each of these element types MAY have one or
   more of the following boolean attributes:

   o  'doNotRedistribute' - if true, this specifies that the content is
      not to be redistributed.

   o  'specialAccess' - if true, this specifies that the content has
      been provided due to special access rights.

   These boolean attributes SHOULD be used in accordance with the level
   of access being granted the recipient of the data.  For example,
   marking data as 'private' or 'denied' is to be expected if the user
   is anonymous or has some other low level of access that does not
   warrant viewing of that particular data.  Likewise, data marked with
   'doNotRedistribute' or 'specialAccess' is to be expected if the user
   is authenticated and has a high level of access.

3.2.2.  Contact Group

   Many of the results share a set of references to contacts regarding
   an associated role.  These are represented by the following elements:

   o  <billingContact>

   o  <technicalContact>

   o  <administrativeContact>

   o  <legalContact>

   o  <zoneContact>

   o  <abuseContact>

   o  <securityContact>

   o  <otherContact>

   Each of these elements contains an entity reference.  The referent of
   each MUST be a <contact> (Section 3.2.5).

3.2.3.  <enum> Result

   An example of a <enum> result:

     <enum
       authority="3.0.7.1.e164.arpa" registryType="ereg1"
       entityClass="enum-handle" entityName="555-1234.001" >

       <e164Number>+1 703 555 1234</e164Number>

       <nameServer
           iris:referentType="ereg:host"
           authority="3.0.7.1.e164.arpa" registryType="ereg1"
           entityClass="host-handle" entityName="ns1.001" />
       <nameServer
           iris:referentType="ereg:host"
           authority="3.0.7.1.e164.arpa" registryType="ereg1"
           entityClass="host-handle" entityName="ns2.001" />

       <registrant

         authority="3.0.7.1.e164.arpa" registryType="ereg1"
         entityClass="contact-handle" entityName="mak21">
         <iris:displayName language="en">
           Mark Kosters
         </iris:displayName>
       </technicalContact>

       <status>
         <create/>
         <active/>
         <delete
           actor="registrar"
           disposition="prohibited">
           <subStatus
             authority="regr.example">
             AUTO-LOCK
           </subStatus>
         </delete>
         <update
           actor="registrar"
           disposition="prohibited">
           <subStatus
             authority="regr.example">
             AUTO-LOCK
           </subStatus>
         </update>
         <transfer
           actor="registrar"
           disposition="prohibited">
           <subStatus
             authority="registrar.example">
             AUTO-LOCK
           </subStatus>
         </transfer>
         <redemptionPeriod
           actor="registry"
           disposition="pending">
           <subStatus
             authority="policy-body.example">
             STANDARD RGP
           </subStatus>
         </redemptionPeriod>
       </status>

     </enum>

   The <enum> result represents an instance of an ENUM domain
   assignment.  The children of the <enum> element are as follows:

   o  <e164Number> - the E.164 number for this ENUM domain as defined by
      [13].  It is RECOMMENDED that only space characters be used
      between the digits of these E.164 numbers, as of the international
      number format defined in [14].

   o  <enumHandle> - a registry-unique assigned identifier to an ENUM
      domain.

   o  <nameServer> - MUST contain an entity reference to a referent of
      type <host> (Section 3.2.4).

   o  <registrant> - elements containing an entity reference to the
      registrant of this ENUM domain.  The referent MUST be a <contact>
      (Section 3.2.5) result.

   o  ENUM domain contacts - see Section 3.2.2.

   o  <status> - may contain at least one of the following elements of
      type 'enumStatusType' (see Section 3.2.1).

      *  <reserved> - this ENUM domain falls outside the normal
         registration rules and/or processes for registration

      *  <create> - assigned to a registrant

      *  <active> - available via DNS (either via delegation or direct
         publication)

      *  <inactive> - unavailable via DNS

      *  <dispute> - registrant assignment is in dispute

      *  <delete> - registrant assignment removed

      *  <transfer> - change of authority

      *  <update> - modification of this ENUM domain

      *  <renew> - renewal of ENUM domain registration

      *  <addPeriod> - period at the creation or activation of this ENUM
         domain (see RFC 3915 [18])

      *  <renewPeriod> - period at the renewal of this ENUM domain (see
         RFC 3915 [18])

      *  <autoRenewPeriod> - period at the automatic renewal of this
         ENUM domain (see RFC 3915 [18])

      *  <transferPeriod> - period at the transfer of this ENUM domain
         (see RFC 3915 [18])

      *  <redemptionPeriod> - period at the redemption of this ENUM
         domain (see RFC 3915 [18])

      *  <restore> - change to previous status of this ENUM domain

      *  <other> - a status only defined by its <subStatus> child
         element

      As stated in Section 3.2.1, each status value may have flags to
      indicate the entity responsible for assigning the status (e.g.,
      actor='registrar') and the nature of the status (e.g.,
      disposition="prohibited").  Any one status value MUST NOT imply
      other status values.  For instance, <reserved> is just an
      indication that the ENUM domain is given special reserved
      status; the <create disposition="prohibited"/> status value must
      also be present to indicate that the ENUM domain cannot be
      registered.

   o  <registrationReference> - an element containing an entity
      reference, the referent of which MUST be an <enum>
      (Section 3.2.3).  The intention of this element is to point to the
      downstream registration reference.  Therefore, if this is a result
      given back by an ENUM domain registry, it should point to the ENUM
      domain in the ENUM domain registrar or registrant service.

   o  <registry> - contains an entity reference specifying the ENUM
      domain registry operator for this ENUM domain that MUST be a
      <registrationAuthority> (Section 3.2.6).

   o  <registrar> - contains an entity reference specifying the ENUM
      domain registrar operator for this ENUM domain that MUST be a
      <registrationAuthority> (Section 3.2.6).

   o  <validationEntity> - contains an entity reference specifying the
      validation entity for this ENUM domain that MUST be a
      <validationEntity> (Section 3.2.7).

   o  communication service providers - the following elements contain
      an entity reference with a relationship to the ENUM domain.  The
      referent of each MUST be a <communicationServiceProvider>
      (Section 3.2.8).

      *  <lineCSP>

      *  <signalCSP>

      *  <dataCSP>

      *  <voiceCSP>

      *  <otherCSP>

   o  <validationEvent> -- elements containing an entity reference to
      validation events related to this ENUM domain.  The referent MUST
      be a <validationEvent> (Section 3.2.9).

   o  <initialDelegationDateTime> - an element containing the date and
      time of the initial delegation of this ENUM domain.

   o  <lastRenewalDateTime> - an element containing the date and time of
      last renewal of this ENUM domain.

   o  <expirationDateTime> - an element containing the date and time of
      the expiration of this ENUM domain.

   o  <lastContactModificationDateTime> - specifies the last time a
      contact for the ENUM domain was added or removed.

   o  <lastContactModificationBy> - an element containing an entity
      reference.  The referent MUST be a <contact> (Section 3.2.5)
      responsible for the last addition or removal of a contact for this
      ENUM domain.

   o  <lastDelegationModificationDateTime> - an element containing the
      date and time of the last time one of the nameservers was added or
      removed for the delegation of this ENUM domain.

   o  <lastDelegationModificationBy> - an element containing an entity
      reference.  The referent MUST be a <contact> (Section 3.2.5)
      result and be responsible for the last addition or removal of a
      nameserver for this ENUM domain.

   o  <lastVerificationDateTime> - an element containing the date and
      time of the last time the data for this domain was verified by the
      responsible registration authority.

   o  <iris:seeAlso> - an element containing an entity reference
      specifying a referent that is indirectly associated with this
      domain.

3.2.4.  <host> Result

   An example of a <host> result:

   <host
     authority="iana.org" registryType="ereg1"
     entityClass="host-handle" entityName="nsol184" >
     <hostHandle>nsol184</hostHandle>
     <hostName>a.iana-servers.net</hostName>
     <ipV4Address>192.0.2.43</ipV4Address>
     <hostContact
       iris:referentType="ereg:contact"
       authority="iana.org" registryType="ereg1"
       entityClass="contact-handle" entityName="dbarton" />
   </host>

   The <host> element represents an instance of a host registration.
   The children of the <host> element are as follows:

   o  <hostHandle> - a registry-unique assigned identifier for the host.

   o  <hostName> - the fully qualified domain name of the host.  The
      contents of this element are a host name and MUST conform to RFC
      1123 [19].

   o  <ipV4Address> - the content of which MUST conform to a valid
      IP version 4 host address as specified by RFC 791 [8].

   o  <ipV6Address> - the content of which MUST conform to a valid
      IP version 6 host address as specified by RFC 3513 [7].

   o  <hostContact> - an element containing an entity reference
      specifying a contact associated with this host.  The referent MUST
      be <contact> (Section 3.2.5) results.

   o  <createdDateTime> - an element containing the date and time this
      host was created.

   o  <lastModificationDateTime> - an element containing the date and
      time this host was last modified.

   o  <lastVerificationDateTime> - an element containing the date and
      time this data for this host was last verified to be correct by
      the appropriate registration authority.

   o  <iris:seeAlso> - an element containing an entity reference
      specifying a referent that is indirectly associated with this
      host.

3.2.5.  <contact> Result

   An example of a <contact> result:

3.3.  Generic Code Derivatives

3.3.1.  <searchTooWide>

   Servers MAY use the <searchTooWide> error code when a query must be
   narrowed to yield a result set acceptable to the policies of the
   server operator.

3.3.2.  <languageNotSupported>

   The queries <findEnumsByContact> and <findContacts> support optional
   language tags that allow a client to suggest to a server the
   languages in which to scope the queries.  If a client passes to the
   server a language that the server does not support, the server MAY
   use this error code to indicate that one of the languages is not
   supported.

   This element contains child elements named <unsupportedLanguage>.
   Each of these child elements specifies a language not supported by
   the server.  When a server returns this error, it MUST give the
   languages from the query that are not supported.

3.4.  Support for <iris:lookupEntity>

   The following types of entity classes are recognized by the
   <lookupEntity> query of IRIS for this registry:

   o  host-name - the fully qualified domain name of a nameserver.  It
      yields a <host> (Section 3.2.4) in the response.

   o  host-handle - the registry-unique identifier given a nameserver.
      It yields a <host> (Section 3.2.4) in the response.

   o  e164 - an E.164 number as specified by [13].  It yields an <enum>
      (Section 3.2.3) in the response.  Clients SHOULD remove all non-
      digit characters between the digits of an E.164 number, and
      servers MUST ignore any non-digit characters between the digits of
      an E.164 number (e.g., "+1 703 555 1234" is to be interpreted as
      "+17035551234").

   o  enum - the fully qualified name of an ENUM domain.  This is a
      domain name as specified by RFC 3761 [17].  It yields an <enum>
      (Section 3.2.3) in the response.

   o  enum-handle - the registry-unique identifier given an ENUM domain.
      It yields an <enum> (Section 3.2.3) in the response.

   o  contact-handle - the registry-unique identifier given a contact.
      It yields a <contact> (Section 3.2.5) in the response.

   o  ipv4-address - the IPv4 address of a nameserver.  It yields a
      <host> (Section 3.2.4) in the response.

   o  ipv6-address - the IPv6 address of a nameserver.  It yields a
      <host> (Section 3.2.4) in the response.

   o  registration-authority - the name of a registration authority.  It
      yields a <registrationAuthority> (Section 3.2.6) in the response.

   o  validation-entity - the name of a validation entity.  It yields a
      <validationEntity> (Section 3.2.7)

   o  csp - the identifier of a communication service provider.  Yields
      a <communicationServiceProvider> (Section 3.2.8).

   o  validation-event - the identifier for a validation event.  It
      yields a <validationEvent> (Section 3.2.9).

   o  All names in these entity classes are case insensitive.

5.  Blocks Extensible Exchange Protocol (BEEP) Transport Compliance

   IRIS allows several extensions of the core capabilities.  This
   section outlines those extensions allowable by IRIS-BEEP [6].

5.1.  Message Pattern

   This registry type uses the default message pattern as described in
   IRIS-BEEP [6].

5.2.  Server Authentication

   This registry type only uses the basic Transport Layer Security (TLS)
   server authentication method as described in IRIS-BEEP [6].

6.  URI Resolution

6.1.  Application Service Label

   The application service label associated with this registry type MUST
   be "EREG1".  This is the abbreviated form of the URN for this
   registry type, urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ereg1.

7.  Internationalization Considerations

   Implementers should be aware of considerations for
   internationalization in IRIS [5].

   The social data associated with contacts may be non-ASCII, and could
   contain virtually any Unicode character.  The <language> element is
   provided in queries that have potential to traverse such data.
   Clients should use these elements to indicate to the server of the
   target languages desired, and servers should use these elements to
   better enable normalization and search processes (see
   <http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr15/>).

   Clients needing to localize the data tags in this protocol should
   take note that localization is only needed on the names of XML
   elements and attributes with the exception of elements containing
   date and time information.  The schema for this registry has been
   designed so that clients need not interpret the content of elements
   or attributes for localization, other than those elements containing
   date and time information.

   Clients should also make use of the <language> elements provided in
   many of the results.  Results containing data that may be in Unicode
   are accompanied by these elements in order to aid better presentation
   of the data to the user.

   The "dateTimePrivacyType" element content conforms to the XML Schema
   [3] data type "dateTime".  The contents of this element MUST be
   specified using the 'Z' indicator for Coordinated Universal Time
   (UTC).

8.  IANA Considerations

8.1.  XML Namespace URN Registration

   This document makes use of a proposed XML namespace and schema
   registry specified in XML_URN [16].  Accordingly, the following
   registration information is provided for the IANA:

   o  URN/URI:

      *  urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:ereg1

   o  Contact:

      *  Andrew Newton <andy@hxr.us>

   o  XML:

      *  The XML Schema specified in Section 4

   o  URN/URI:

      *  urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ereg1

   o  Contact:

      *  Andrew Newton <andy@hxr.us>

   o  XML:

      *  None.

8.2.  S-NAPTR Registration

   The following S-NAPTR application service tag [20] has been
   registered with IANA according to the IANA considerations defined in
   IRIS [5]:

      EREG1

8.3.  BEEP Registration

   The following BEEP Profile URI has been registered with IANA
   (http://www.iana.org/assignments/beep-parameters), in addition to the
   registration provided in IRIS-BEEP [6].

      http://iana.org/beep/iris1/ereg1

9.  Security Considerations

   This document lays out no new considerations for security precautions
   beyond that specified in IRIS [5].

PROBLEMENUM registries hold information about E.164 telephone numbers mapped into the DNS, along with registrants, contacts, name servers and operators, but IRIS had no query and result vocabulary for that data.
MECHANISMRFC 4414 defines an IRIS registry type, identified as EREG1, with four queries, seven result types, two error codes and a list of entity classes for lookups, all described in an XML Schema.
WHY IT MATTERSA client can search ENUM domains by E.164 prefix, contact or name server and get back structured results, with privacy attributes that mark data as private or denied.

§1What This Registry Type Is

RFC 4414 describes a registry schema for the Internet Registry Information Service (IRIS) that covers registries of ENUM data. The schema is written in XML Schema and derived from the IRIS core schema (RFC 3981). IRIS requires each registry schema to derive both its query and its result elements, so this document supplies them.

In this RFC the term ENUM means the fully qualified domain name that follows the conventions of ENUM as defined in RFC 3761. The registry type has the application service label EREG1, the abbreviated form of the URN urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ereg1. The key words MUST, SHOULD and MAY are used as in RFC 2119 to cover rules that the XML syntax alone cannot express.

IRIS is a general way to look things up in registries. This document teaches it the special words it needs to look things up in the registry of phone-number domains.

§3.1The Four Queries

The schema derives four queries.

  • <findEnumsByE164> finds ENUM domains by an E.164 number prefix given in <e164Prefix>. An optional <specificity> of less narrows the search to numbers with fewer digits, and more to numbers with more digits. It returns <enum> results.
  • <findEnumsByContact> finds ENUM domains by the contact: by <contactHandle> or a contact search field, optionally limited by the contact's <role>.
  • <findContacts> searches for contacts using one of the contact search fields.
  • <findEnumsByHost> finds the ENUM domains hosted by a name server, identified by host name, host handle, IPv4 address or IPv6 address.

The contact search group offers <commonName> and <organization> (exact match, or begins-with and ends-with), <eMail> (an exact address or any address in a domain via <inDomain>), and <city>, <region> and <postalCode> (exact match only). Non-ASCII domain names MUST be normalized as in RFC 3491. The contact queries also take optional <language> elements as hints that servers MAY use, for example to tailor normalization.

You can ask the registry four kinds of questions: which domains match this phone number start, which belong to this contact, who are these contacts, and which domains does this name server host.

§3.2.3The ENUM Result

The <enum> result represents one ENUM domain assignment. Its main children are <e164Number> (RECOMMENDED to use only spaces between digits, as in the RFC's example +1 703 555 1234), <enumHandle> (a registry-unique identifier), <nameServer> entries that refer to <host> results, a <registrant> that refers to a <contact>, and the contact group of role elements (billing, technical, administrative, legal, zone, abuse, security and other).

The <status> element holds status values: reserved, create, active, inactive, dispute, delete, transfer, update, renew, addPeriod, renewPeriod, autoRenewPeriod, transferPeriod, redemptionPeriod, restore and other. A status can carry an actor of registry or registrar, and a disposition of pending or prohibited. Any one status MUST NOT imply another: reserved only marks special handling, and the domain is shown as unregistrable by also giving create with disposition prohibited.

Other children give the registry and registrar (each a <registrationAuthority>), the validation entity, communication service providers, validation events, and timestamps such as initial delegation, last renewal, expiration and last verification.

An ENUM result is like a card for one phone number's internet address. It lists the owner, the helper computers, the people to contact, and whether the number is active, locked or about to expire.

WHAT AN ENUM RESULT REFERS TO (SUMMARY OF RFC 4414 SECTION 3.2.3)
  • enum One ENUM domain assignment
    • nameServer refers to host
    • registrant refers to contact
    • contact group billing, technical, administrative, legal, zone, abuse, security, other; each a contact
    • registry and registrar each a registrationAuthority
    • validationEntity refers to validationEntity
    • CSP elements lineCSP, signalCSP, dataCSP, voiceCSP, otherCSP; each a communicationServiceProvider
    • validationEvent refers to validationEvent

§3.2The Supporting Results

Entities referred to from an <enum> result have their own result types.

  • <host>: a name server, with <hostHandle>, <hostName> (MUST conform to RFC 1123), IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (conforming to RFC 791 and RFC 3513) and host contacts.
  • <contact>: a person, organization, role or other party, with handle, name, e-mail, SIP URI, postal address, phone and fax numbers, a legal ID such as a tax number, and links to translated equivalents. A phone number starting with + MUST be an E.164 number.
  • <registrationAuthority>: an entity capable of registering domains, flagged as registry, registrar or other.
  • <validationEntity>: an entity that validates ENUM domains against E.164 registrations.
  • <communicationServiceProvider>: an entity providing ENUM domain service, with capabilities line, signal, data, voice or other.
  • <validationEvent>: a record of a validation, with a serial, a method identifier, the registrar and validation entity involved, and execution and expiration times.

Every result can also carry an <iris:seeAlso> entity reference for indirectly related data. Each entity reference names an authority, registryType, entityClass and entityName.

The main card points to other cards: one for each helper computer, each person to contact, each company involved, and each check that was done on the number.

§3.2.1Privacy Labels

Some values cannot be given out but must be shown as present, or must be flagged so clients do not pass them on. Several result elements therefore use special types, such as dateTimePrivacyType, stringPrivacyType, normalizedStringPrivacyType and tokenPrivacyType. They are nillable, so an element can be present with empty content. Timestamps MUST use the Z indicator for UTC.

If such an element is present without content, it MUST carry private (the content may never be published) or denied (policy does not allow it at the current access level), or both. If it is present with content, it MAY carry doNotRedistribute or specialAccess. These attributes SHOULD match the recipient's access level: an anonymous user would expect private or denied, while an authenticated high-access user would see doNotRedistribute or specialAccess.

If a secret detail must stay hidden, the registry says there is something there but I cannot show you. If it shares a detail, it can add a note saying please do not pass this on.

§3.3Entity Lookup and Error Codes

For IRIS's <lookupEntity> query this registry recognizes entity classes that each yield a particular result. All names are case insensitive. Clients SHOULD remove non-digit characters between the digits of an E.164 number and servers MUST ignore them, so +1 703 555 1234 is read as +17035551234.

Two generic error codes are derived. Servers MAY return <searchTooWide> when a query must be narrowed to give a result set the operator's policy accepts. Servers MAY return <languageNotSupported> when a client passes a language the server does not support; it lists each one in <unsupportedLanguage> children, and when the server returns this error it MUST give the unsupported languages from the query.

You can ask for a thing by its name, number or ID, and the registry knows what kind of answer to give. If your question matches too many things, or uses a language it does not know, it can say so.

§5Transport, Registrations and Security

The registry type follows IRIS-BEEP (RFC 3983) for transport. It uses the default message pattern and only the basic Transport Layer Security server authentication method. The application service label MUST be EREG1.

IANA registrations are given for the XML schema URN urn:ietf:params:xml:schema:ereg1, the namespace URN urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:ereg1, the S-NAPTR application service tag EREG1, and the BEEP profile URI http://iana.org/beep/iris1/ereg1.

For internationalization, contact data may contain virtually any Unicode character, so clients should use the <language> elements and servers should use them to improve normalization and search. The RFC says it lays out no new security considerations beyond those of IRIS in RFC 3981.

This part says how the questions travel safely to the registry, which names get reserved for this kind of registry, and that it adds no new safety rules beyond the ones IRIS already has.
