This Recommendation describes a markup vocabulary for XHTML documents representing white
page directory information for multimedia terminals and systems. It describes a URL syntax that
supports directory searching. It also enumerates client and server behaviours necessary to support
SWIM-D interaction effectively. The purpose of this Recommendation is to provide a framework
for structured directory browsing when the underlying data structures are not known, such as when publishing directories of people, places and virtual organizations.
This Recommendation does not describe directory structures or directory access protocols.
This Recommendation is related to other [ITU-T H.350] series Recommendations. While H.350.1
through H.350.7 describe directory schemas for various protocols that can drive call signalling
engines directly, this Recommendation is intended for higher level access to directory data for white
pages browsing only. [ITU-T E.115] describes a computerized directory assistance protocol for
information exchange among service providers in support of assistance/inquiry services.
White pages implementers should review all of these related documents for applicability.
