Registration of media type application/vnd.emclient.accessrequest+xml
by Filip Navara 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

Type name: application Subtype name: Vendor Tree - vnd.emclient.accessrequest+xml Required parameters: none Optional parameters: version - in the X.Y notation where X specifies major version change and Y specifies minor version change. Applications supporting this MIME type should not try to process the content unless the major version number is recognize by the particular implementation. Encoding considerations: The content of this media type consists of lines of 7bit or 8bit text. In the latter case use of quoted-printable or base64 may be needed when operating over 7bit transports. Security considerations: The type exists to provide a limited and safe subset of operations to media authors, but the full spectrum of security issues associated with this type has not been completely assessed. Explicit actions based on the content should be done only after confirmation by the recepient. Embedding inside S/MIME container with digital signature is recommended. See RFC 3023, section 10 for a more complete analysis of XML related security issues. Interoperability considerations: There are no special known interoperability issues, but the full spectrum of interoperability issues associated with this type has not been completely assessed. Published specification: None.

Media Type Registration request for POWDER and POWDER-S
by Phil Archer 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

To whom it may concern, This e-mail is sent in line with "How to Register an Internet Media Type for a W3C Spec" [1] and follows an earlier attempt to follow the IANA process (see 2, 3). Having taken advice [4], the W3C POWDER Working Group requests that consideration be given to registering two Media types for POWDER and POWDER-S documents. POWDER: application/powder+xml ============================== POWDER is a constrained dialect of XML that transports RDF properties and objects that can be associated with multiple subjects. The media type details are included in Appendix B of POWDER: Description Resources [5] which has just completed its (second) Last Call period. The version cited here includes changes made in response to last call comments and is not yet published, however, it is the one (or very close to the one) the working group will present as the Proposed Recommendation. It is anticipated that this happen within the next 2 weeks. The relevant section of the Description Resources document is as follows: Appendix B: POWDER Internet Media Type and Macintosh File Type The following Media Type has been submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA contact: Phil Archer or Matt Womer See also: How to Register a Media Type for a W3C Specification Internet Media Type registration, consistency of use TAG Finding 3 June 2002 (Revised 4 September 2002) The Internet Media Type / MIME Type for POWDER is "application/powder+xml". It is recommended that POWDER files use the file extension of .xml (all lowercase) on all platforms. It is recommended that POWDER files stored on Macintosh HFS file systems be given a file type of "TEXT". Type name: application Subtype name: powder+xml Required parameters: None Optional parameters: None Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as specified in [RFC3023], section 3.2. Security considerations: POWDER is used to make assertions, sometimes socially sensitive, about web resources. Consumers of POWDER should be aware of the source and chain of custody of this data. Security considerations for URIs (Section 7 of RFC 3986 [RFC3986]) and IRIs (Section 8 of RFC 3987 [RFC3987]) apply to the extent that describing resources in POWDER may prompt consumers to retrieve those resources. Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability issues. Published specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/powder-dr/ Applications which use this media type: No known applications currently use this media type. Additional information: Magic number(s): As specified for "application/xml" in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 3.2. File extension(s): .xml Fragment identifiers: Identical to that of "application/xml" as described in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 5. Base URI: As specified in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 6. Macintosh file type code(s): "TEXT" Person & email address to contact for further information: public-powderwg(a)w3.org Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: None Author/Change controller: The POWDER specification is a work product of the World Wide Web Consortium's Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group. The W3C has change control over these specifications. POWDER-S: application/powder-s+xml ================================== Semantic POWDER, or POWDER-S, is typically generated by performing a transformation on a POWDER document. Each POWDER-S document is an OWL ontology from which properties and values can be inferred for a given resource. In order for inferences to be drawn, however, OWL tools must implement a semantic extension (defined separately) and it is for this reason that a new media type is requested, rather than using the existing RDF/OWL media types. A POWDER-S document is valid RDF/OWL but is essentially meaningless without the semantic extension. The media type details are included in Appendix C of POWDER: Description Resources [5] as follows: Appendix C: POWDER-S Internet Media Type and Macintosh File Type The following Media Type has been submitted to the IESG for review, approval, and registration with IANA contact: Phil Archer or Matt Womer See also: How to Register a Media Type for a W3C Specification Internet Media Type registration, consistency of use TAG Finding 3 June 2002 (Revised 4 September 2002) The Internet Media Type / MIME Type for POWDER-S is "application/powder-s+xml". It is recommended that POWDER-S files use the file extension of .rdf (all lowercase) on all platforms. It is recommended that POWDER-S files stored on Macintosh HFS file systems be given a file type of "TEXT". Type name: application Subtype name: powder-s+xml Required parameters: None Optional parameters: None Encoding considerations: Identical to those of "application/xml" as specified in [RFC3023], section 3.2. Security considerations: POWDER-S is used to make assertions, sometimes socially sensitive, about web resources. Consumers of POWDER should-S be aware of the source and chain of custody of this data. Security considerations for URIs (Section 7 of RFC 3986 [RFC3986]) and IRIs (Section 8 of RFC 3987 [RFC3987]) apply to the extent that describing resources in POWDER-S may prompt consumers to retrieve those resources. Interoperability considerations: There are no known interoperability issues. Published specification: http://www.w3.org/TR/powder-dr/ Applications which use this media type: No known applications currently use this media type. Additional information: Magic number(s): As specified for "application/xml" in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 3.2. File extension(s): .rdf Fragment identifiers: Identical to that of "application/xml" as described in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 5. Base URI: As specified in RFC 3023 [RFC3023], section 6. Macintosh file type code(s): "TEXT" Person & email address to contact for further information: public-powderwg(a)w3.org Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: None Author/Change controller: The POWDER-S specification is a work product of the World Wide Web Consortium's Protocol for Web Description Resources (POWDER) Working Group.

Registration of media type audio/vnd.dvb.file and video/vnd.dvb.file
by Stefan Döhla 16 Jan '09

16 Jan '09

Dear members of ietf-types, attached is a copy of the MIME type as already defined within the DVB File Format specification that is publicly available as http://www.dvb.org/technology/standards/a121.tm3904r3.ff0020r12.DVB_File_Fo… The following text was copied from the specification with the single change of contact information (Eoghan O'sullivan took over the responsibilities of Peter MacAvock). Best Regards - Stefan Doehla == DVB Files with audio but no visual content The type "audio/vnd.dvb.file" may be used for files that contain no other tracks than audio tracks. Type name: audio Subtype name: vnd.dvb.file Required parameters: none Optional parameters: codecs: is a single value or a comma-separated list that identifies the codec(s) needed for rendering the content contained (in tracks) of a file. The codecs parameter is defined in RFC 4281 [19]. The ISO file format name space and ISO syntax in clauses 3.2 and 3.3 of RFC 4281 [19], respectively, shall be used. protected-content: is value '1' if some or all of the media data in the file is protected, otherwise '0'. brands: is a field which contains a textual representation of the file type box of the DVB File. It consists of dot-separated elements, enclosed in double quotes. The first element is the major brand as a printable four-character code, followed by the second element, which is the minor version of the major brand. The following elements are the compatible brands of the file as printable four-character codes. Example: brands="dvt1.0.iso3" Encoding considerations: files are binary and should be transmitted in a suitable encoding without CR/LF conversion, 7-bit stripping etc.; base64 (RFC 4648 [21]) is a suitable encoding. Security considerations: DVB files may contain audio, video, displayable text data images, ESG metadata, etc. Clearly it is possible to author malicious files which attempt to call for e.g., an excessively large picture size, high-sampling rate audio, etc. However, clients can and usually do protect themselves against this kind of attack. It should be noted that the file may contain fields that encompass information partly intended to protect media against unauthorized use or distribution. In this case, the intention is that alteration or removal of the data in these fields would be treated as an offense under national agreements based on World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties. Interoperability considerations: DVB has defined this specification. Interoperability considerations will be in the corresponding Implementation Guidelines document. Published specification: Applications which use this media type: Multi-media Additional information: The type "audio/vnd.dvb.file" may be used for files containing audio but no visual presentation. Files served under this type must not contain any visual material. (Note that timed text is visually presented and is considered to be visual material). Magic number(s): None. However, the file type box must occur first in the file, and must have a DVB brand as the major brand. File extension(s): 'dvb' Macintosh File Type Code(s): none Person & email address to contact for further information: Eoghan O'sullivan Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) osullivan(a)dvb.org Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: Note that this MIME type is used only for files; separate types are used for real-time transfer, such as for the RTP payload formats. Authors: Members of the Digital Video Broadcasting Project - Technical Module File Format (DVB TM-FF). Change controller: DVB TM / DVB TM-FF == Any DVB Files The type "video/vnd.dvb.file" is valid for all files, including files that contain audio tracks only. It is valid to serve an audio-only file as "video/vnd.dvb.file". Type name: video Subtype name: vnd.dvb.file Required parameters: none Optional parameters: codecs: is a single value or a comma-separated list that identifies the codec(s) needed for rendering the content contained (in tracks) of a file. The codecs parameter is defined in RFC 4281 [19]. The ISO file format name space and ISO syntax in clauses 3.2 and 3.3 of RFC 4281 [19], respectively, shall be used. protected-content: is value '1' if some or all of the media data in the file is protected, otherwise '0'. brands: is a field which contains a textual representation of the file type box of the DVB File. It consists of dot-separated elements, enclosed in double quotes. The first element is the major brand as a printable four-character code, followed by the second element, which is the minor version of the major brand in decimal representation. The following elements are the compatible brands of the file as printable four-character codes. Example: brands="dvt1.0.iso3" Encoding considerations: files are binary and should be transmitted in a suitable encoding without CR/LF conversion, 7-bit stripping etc.; base64 (RFC 4648 [21]) is a suitable encoding.

Registration of media type image/vnd.radiance
by R Fritz 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Type name: image Subtype name: vnd.radiance Required parameters: None Optional parameters: None Encoding considerations: Binary preferred. This is a binary image type with a text header; "binary" or "base64" are the only reasonable choices. Security considerations: The Radiance HDR file format does not include executable code or scripts; it is a graphics file with an ASCII header. Compression is used, which could crash an image viewer. There is no way to completely rule out the possibility of malicious content, however HDR viewer applications do not usually run with administrator privileges--they seem poor targets for such attacks. Interoperability considerations: byte orders are spelled in the published specification; we expect that Radiance HDR files will be readable on all systems. Published specification: *Radiance File Formats*, available freely at <http://radsite.lbl.gov/radiance/refer/> and also as part of Ch 18 of *Rendering With Radiance* (Booksurge/Amazon, ISBN 0974538108). Applications that use this media type: Adobe Photoshop, AHDRIA, AHDRIC, CinePaint, FDRTools, hdrgen, HDR Shop, PFStools, Photosphere, Qtpfsgui, RadDisplay, Radiance, Web HDR Additional information: Magic number(s): Text "#?RADIANCE\n" (octet sequence 23 3f 52 41 44 49 41 4e 43 45 0a) at the beginning of the file. File extension(s): pic, hdr, rgbe, xyze Macintosh file type code(s): Person & email address to contact for further information: rfritz(a)u.washington.edu Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: none Author: Randolph Fritz Change controller: Greg Ward (gregoryjward(a)gmail.com) / The Radiance Lighting Simulation Internet Group Notes: 1. The "pic" extension is also used for Macintosh PICT files; it is deprecated. 2. The rgbe and xyze extensions represent information about the content of the files, and may conflict with the actual content of files. Applications should check. 3. Radiance also uses "?RADIANCE\n" as a tag for its octree files; applications should read the file header to confirm that the file is indeed a Radiance HDR file, as described in the specification.

Registration of media type model/x3d+XXX
by Leonard Daly 05 Jan '09

05 Jan '09

Per the instructions in IETF RFC 4288, the Web3D Consortium (http://web3d.org/) is submitting model/x3d+XXX as a new MIME type. Please contact me if there are clarifications or questions. Thank you, Leonard Daly X3D WG Co-Chair, Web3D Consortium ----------------------------------------------------------- Type name: model Subtype names: x3d+vrml x3d+xml x3d+binary Required parameters: None Optional parameters: None Encoding considerations: This application represents the different MIME types used for three different encodings of the X3D ISO standard (see [1]). The standard defines an abstract information structural representation, for which several file formats are available. These formats are currently defined to be: VRML-Classic: (old-style curly brace format of the VRML97 ISO standard). UTF-8 (8-bit text) is to be supported. The recently introduced UTF-8 BOM cannot be supported by definition of the specification. XML: Encoding requirements as per the XML standards. Binary: (Effectively a binary XML encoding scheme based on the outcome of the W3C binary XML working group process). Still a work in progress and standardisation is not yet complete. Each content type may have an addition Content-Encoding to indicate whether the content has been compressed using GZIP in addition to the basic textual encoding. This is also indicated by modifying each file extension with the character "z". For example, the plaintext VRML-encoded file format would use the extension ".x3dv", and if compressed using GZIP uses the extension ".x3dvz" Security considerations: Scripting is defined as being available for the specification. Two languages are defined: Java and ECMAScript. Each scripting language is controlled by its local security model. As the content may run in many different situations, the X3D specification does not impose specific security policies. For example, some standalone applications will want to directly interact with the local file system, network or database, while others that run in a web browser would use the web-browser's security model. Interoperability considerations: The definition of the file format is maintained by the Web3d Consortium (http://www.web3d.org) and published through the ISO process. Several revisions of the specification have been made and it continues to be made. All revisions use the same MIME type definitions, and are backwards compatible internally and structurally. In addition, each of the file format encodings may be losslessly transformed between each other. Published specification: All revisions of the X3D specification can be found here: http://www.web3d.org/x3d/specifications/ Several revisions of each specification exist. The abstract specification is ISO/IEC 19775:2004. The individual file formats, which also specify the matching MIME types, are parts of the ISO/IEC 19777 specification. Applications that use this media type: There are well over 20 - both browsers, exporters and importers. Additional information: Magic number(s): x3d+vrml: “#X3D” x3d+xml: Use XML’s specification x3d+binary: “#X3D” File extension(s): x3d+vrml: .x3dv, .x3dvz x3d+xml: .x3d, .x3dz x3d+binary: .x3db Macintosh file type code(s): Person & email address to contact for further information: Leonard <mailto:Leonard> Daly (X3D Working Group Co-Chair) Leonard.Daly(a)realism.com Alan Hudson (Web3d Consortium President) giles(a)yumetech.com <mailto:giles@yumetech.com> Intended usage: COMMON Restrictions on usage: None Author: The Web3D Consortium Change controller: The Web3D Consortium The X3D standard is a continuation of the VRML standard that is defined in RFC2077. As part of this work, several large modifications were made to the file format and specification. The basic premise for the specification continues the VRML philosophy. The MIME types and file extensions were changed to indicate this modified standard. -- +-------- | Leonard Daly | Internet Solutions, eBusiness Specialist http://realism.com/ | LA ACM SIGGRAPH, Electronic Services Chair | X3D Book: http://x3dGraphics.com +------------------------------
