I think (but I'm not 100% on this), that the discovery needs to be independent of "protocols" like CalWS, CalDAV, etc. - it would provide URLs and capabilities perhaps, or URLs per protocol. -----Original Message----- From: Toby Considine [mailto:tobyconsidine@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Toby Considine Sent: Monday, September 12, 2011 8:50 AM To: 'Tim Hare'; caldeveloper-l@lists.calconnect.org; 'Calsify' Subject: RE: [caldeveloper-l] Calendar discovery? Don't forget a vavailability and its url... http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-daboo-calendar-availability-02.txt There are two parts of if this. CalWs (under development in both REST and SOAP variants) should be able to handle (2) if you have (1). There is another variant, the option of a registrar, i.e., a standards-based doodle poll where the barbers in town could post these XML documents and something else. I say something else, because it is unlikely that the barbers want to convert themselves to pure commodities... tc "A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away." -Antoine de Saint-Exupery Toby Considine TC9, Inc TC Chair: oBIX & WS-Calendar TC Editor: EMIX, EnergyInterop U.S. National Inst. of Standards and Tech.

I haven't seen it, but I may have missed it. Have we developed a standard that allows an application to discover if a particular site or URL has: 1. a calendar and its URL? 2. a free-busy calendar and its URL? In my opinion, there are use cases for discovery ("find a barber with an appointment opening this afternoon" for example) that enable 'intelligent agents' (or, more likely, smartphone apps ) to do their jobs for us .
