Abstract
The IETF has defined a standard format for electronic business
card data, called vCard. This format is useful for exchange of
personal directory data across the Internet, as well as in non-
Internet environments.
In a number of environments where the vCard will be used, the
format type and version needs to be identified. For example, when
registering the vCard as a format for memory-based "clipboard" or
"drag/drop" user interface interactions. For these cases, a
definitive formal public identifier (FPI) for the vCard will be
required. This memo defined the FPI to be used when referring to
the version 3.0 of the vCard format.
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL
NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED",
"MAY" and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as
described in [RFC 2119].

1. Introduction
This memo defines a FPI for the version 3.0 vCard. An FPI is a
identifier that is used to uniquely identify an entity. The
syntax for a FPI is defined in [ISO 9070].
The FPI defined by this memo can be used to register the version
3.0 of the vCard format in an operating system object registry so
that the format can be uniquely referenced within that
environment. In addition, this FPI can be used to refer to the
vCard notation in representation grammars, such as that defined
by [XML].
2. vCard v3.0 FPI
The public identified defined by this memo is a non-registered
FPI, as defined by [ISO 9070]. The FPI is defined by the
following text string.
"-//IETF//NOTATION RFC 2426/vCard//EN"
This FPI SHOULD be used where ever a reference is needed to the
version 3.0 vCard format. For example, the following shows how it
would be used in an XML notation declaration:
<!NOTATION vCard PUBLIC "-//IETF//NOTATION RFC
2426/vCard//EN">
3. Security Considerations
Security issues are not discussed in this memo.
