LID 2.0 vCard Service

From LID Wiki

A LID URL that supports the LID vCard Service understands the VCARD vocabulary. The VCARD vocabulary in use with LID is a slight modification of the VCARD DTD defined by the Jabber Software Foundation, which in turn is a slight modification of a proposed RFC that was never ratified in the IETF.

This vocabulary defines concepts such as:

• given, or first name
• family, or last name
• date of birth
• address
• work phone number
• picture

The XML vocabulary for te LID vCard Service is defined at http://lid.netmesh.org/dtds/VCARD.dtd

For example, the following query:

LID?xpath=/VCARD/N/GIVEN

returns the given, or first name of the user whose Personal LID it is (assume that the user allows the client to access this information).

By virtue of Yadis, the service URI on which the query is performed may differ from the LID URL.
