Dear Working Group,

The authors of the following working group document have indicated that it
is believed to be ready for submission to the IESG for publication as a
standards track document:
[SAH] I generally agree that the document is ready, but I do have a question 
that might drive a change or two: Section 2.1 describes search using vcardArray 
RDAP properties. Will additional/different search properties be required if an 
RDAP server operator switches from jCard to JSContact?

[ML] JSContact doesn't introduce any additional required property. The reverse search properties defined in this document are conventional names to be used as query parameters. The only possible change resulted from switching to JSContact would affect some of the JSONPath expressions presented in this document to uniquely map those names to the RDAP response fields. For example,  "$..entities[*].jscard.fullName" would be the JSONPath expression related to the "fn" research search property.

Would it sound good to you if I clarified such a concept by adding some text?

If so, it might be worth noting that these search properties can be affected by 
RDAP extensions that modify RDAP data structures.

[ML] As stated in section 2.1, servers are allowed to implement other properties than those defined. These additional reverse search properties would be defined out-of-band, just as it would happen for RDAP response extensions.

Are you  suggesting to use an in-band mechanism (like "sorting_metadata" of RFC8977) by which servers can provide clients with the list of available reverse search properties?

It might also mean that the JSContact draft will need to include some text to 
describe reverse search implications of the data structures it describes.

[ML] Don't see the need for that. Currently, JSContact includes the same information as jCard so IMO there are no JSContact-specific implications on reverse search.


Best,

Mario
