If an event participant’s vCard SOURCE is known, a calendaring system should populate the iCalendar ATTENDEE DIR field with that value. Calendar systems should enable the user to resolve and display the participant’s (ATTENDEE‘s) data, as enabled and published by the vCard SOURCE. We observe that this functionality is equally valid for users and resources.

The potential values of iCalendar CUTYPE and vCard KIND should be the same in both standards. This direct mapping allows for increased use of vCard as a structured source for storing resource information.

We propose the CUTYPE/KIND attributes for “room” classification encapsulate the broader “venue” concept, perhaps leveraging work in VVENUE as a template for potential schema.
