Representation of Uncertainty and Confidence in the Presence Information Data Format Location Object
RFC 7459, “Representation of Uncertainty and Confidence in the Presence Information Data Format Location Object”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2015 by M. Thomson, J. Winterbottom. It updates RFC 3693, RFC 4119, RFC 5491. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines key concepts of uncertainty and confidence as they pertain to location information. Methods for the manipulation of location estimates that include uncertainty information are outlined.
This document normatively updates the definition of location information representations defined in RFCs 4119 and 5491. It also deprecates related terminology defined in RFC 3693.
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
