Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object
Specification (iCalendar)
introduces a new format for calendaring and
scheduling applications. Without a common
format, there will be interoperability problems
between dissimilar applications that are not
supporting the same format for defining the
calendar information. Different organizations
and commercial vendors develop their own
calendaring and scheduling model and structures.
If the calendar representation format is not
interoperable, calendar applications can not
communicate with each other even if they are in
the same organization or they are coming from
the same commercial vendor. To solve
interoperability problems,
The Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) introduced
some standards by publishing specifications for
the calendar data exchange(RFC-2445). IETF is an
open community of network designers, operators,
vendors, and researchers for every interested
individual.
