[Libby suggest RDF/iCal]
If it is (a) widely implemented in tools such as Outlook, (b)
identifiable by a URI, and (c) has a registered IANA MIME type, then
such a suggesions works for me.
a) iCalendar (RFC 2445) is very widely deployed, though isn't XML. Of
the alternatives for calendar data in XML, iCal/RDF probably is the most
current, active project and probably most deployed, and offers a direct
mapping from iCal. Semaview's eventSherpa [1] is probably the shiniest
implementation ;-)
b) "http://www.w3.org/2002/12/cal/ical";
c) "application/rdf+xml"
There is also a precedent in syndication with RSS 1.0 + RDF/iCal (e.g.
in NewsMonster), which should translate across pretty directly, once we
have an extension mechanism.
Any news from Dave Orchard on extension mechanisms, btw?
Cheers,
Danny.
