The "wp" service is for finding people, while the "yp" service if for finding general things (including people). 1. Introduction In "Advertising Services" [1], several abstract services are proposed. As specified in [2], the "wp" and "yp" abstract services are documented here. The "wp" service is intended for finding people, while the "yp" service is a superset that is intended for finding objects. 2. The "wp" Abstract Service The "wp" abstract service is for locating people via a directory. Version 0.0 of this service specifies four protocols for accessing such services: LDAP, WHOIS++, CCSO/Ph and HTTP. ---------------------------template begins here----------------------- - type = wp + template-type = wp - version = 0.0 + template-version = 0.0 - language = EN + template-language = EN - description = + template-description = The WP Abstract Service is for locating people using either LDAP, WHOIS, CCSO/Ph or HTTP - url-syntax = + template-url-syntax = url-path = ldapurl / whoisppurl / phurl / httpurl ldapurl = url as defined in [3] whoisppurl = url as defined in [4] httpurl = url as defined in [5] phurl = "ph://" hostport hostport = host [ ":" port ] host = hostname / hostnumber hostname = *( domainlavel "." ) toplabel domainlabel = alphanum / alphanum * [alphanum / "-"] alphanum toplabel = alpha / alpha * [alphanum / "-"] alphanum @@ -83,36 +84,35 @@ "H" / "I" / "J" / "K" / "L" / "M" / "N" / "O" / "P" / "Q" / "R" / "S" / "T" / "U" / "V" / "W" / "X" / "Y" / "Z" digit = "0" / "1" / "2" / "3" / "4" / "5" / "6" / "7" / "8" / "9" ---------------------------template ends here------------------------- 3.
