Herriot, K. Ocke, P. Zehler Status: Standards Track Date: September 2002 Mailbox: debryro@uvsc.edu, hastings@cp10.es.xerox.com, bob@herriot.com, KOcke@crt.xerox.com, PZehler@crt.xerox.com Pages: 38 Characters: 78173 Updates: 2910, 2911 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ipp-collection-05.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3382.txt This document specifies an OPTIONAL attribute syntax called 'collection' for use with the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP/1.0 and IPP/1.1). A 'collection' is a container holding one or more named values, which are called "member" attributes. A collection allows data to be grouped like a PostScript dictionary or a Java Map. This document also specifies the conformance requirements for a definition document that defines a collection attribute. Finally, this document gives some illustrative example collection attribute definitions that are not intended as actual attribute specifications. This document is a product of the Internet Printing Protocol Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
