Abstract
This memo presents an RDF [refs.RDF] vocabulary for describing an
application extension bundle [refs.aeb]. An application extension
bundle, otherwise known as an add-on, extension, plug-in, suite, or
package, is an encapsalation of all the data needed to add
functionality to a plug-in based application. An integral piece of
an application extension bundle is the metadata describing the
bundle. The described RDF vocabulary contains required and optional
metadata fields used by an application extension bundle to describe
itself.

Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
1. Introduction
An application extension bundle (AEB) [refs.aeb] encapsulates all the
data required to extend an application. Often referred to as a
plug-in or add-on, an AEB is a specific format designed to be
application and platform agnostic. An application accepting an AEB
is referred to as a target application. A key component of an AEB is
descriptive metadata such as the AEB version, requirements, authors,
etc. The application extension bundle description language (AEBL) is
an RDF [refs.RDF] vocabulary for the metadata needed by an AEB.
1.1. Relationship to XPI
The AEBL vocabulary is based on an RDF vocabulary used by the Mozilla
XPInstall [refs.XPInstall] addon system, sometimes known as XPI. XPI
is a compelling format containing much of the metadata needed for an
AEB. However, the XPI format is tightly coupled to the Mozilla
project and the description documents often refer to specific XPI
engine implementation details. AEB and the AEBL standardize XPI and
remove the Mozilla specific details. The original version of AEBL is
nearly an exact copy of the XPI format with minor changes and
clarifications. AEBL should, however, be considered a fork of XPI
and further changes to XPI may not be reflected in AEBL.
1.2. A Note on Examples
Examples presented in this document will be presented in specific
serializations of RDF such as rdf+xml and Notation3 [refs.N3Primer].
The AEBL vocabulary is not restricted to these specific serializaions
and any valid RDF serialization format should be considered equally
valid for use with AEBL. Specific implementations of AEBL may be
restricted to one or more serializations.
All examples assume the following prefixes
@prefix rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#> .
@prefix aebl: <urn:2008:03:aebl-syntax-ns#>.

2. AEBL Namespace and primary subject
AEBL elements are defined in the AEBL namespace. The AEBL namespace
is urn:2008:03:aebl-syntax-ns. This namespace is subject to change
before acceptance of this Internet Draft as an RFC. The primary
subject (the analog of an XML root element) is
urn:aebl:install-manifest.
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
3. Verbs
3.1. Required
3.1.1. id
A unique identifier for the AEB.
o A UUID [refs.UUID] in the form {00000000-0000-0000-0000-
000000000000}
o An Internet email [refs.email] style address as a string. This
need not represent an existing email account but uses the same
format. Ex. aebname@organization.tld
The id shall not change when the version of an AEB changes. Version
information is stored in the version (Section 3.1.2) verb.
The following regular expression matches an id.
^([A-Z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4})|((\{{0,1}([0-9a-fA-F]){8}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){4}-([0-9a-fA-F]){12}\}{0,1}))$
3.1.2. version
The version verb identifies the version of the AEB. The format of
the object shall conform to the specification in the version numbers
(Section 4) section.
3.1.3. type
The type verb indicates the type of extension stored in the AEB.
Valid types are listed below.
2 Functionality extensions and general extensions not fitting
another category
4 Themes and skins which change the look of a GUI application
8 Locale and language extensions which add additional natural
language translations
32 Multiple item AEB [refs.aeb]
>=16384 Types defined for a specific target application
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
3.1.4. name
The name verb indentifies the name of this AEB. This is designed to
be presented to a user and shall not be used for comparison or unique
identification purposes. The id (Section 3.1.1) verb is used to
uniquely identify an AEB.
3.1.5. targetApplication
This verb defines a potential target application. There must be at
least one targetApplication defined in an AEB and there may be
multiple targetApplications defined in an AEB.
<urb:aebl:install-manifest> aebl:targetApplication [ aebl:id "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}" ].
3.1.5.1. id
This identifies the target application. The format is identical to
the main id (Section 3.1.1) verb.
3.1.5.2. minVersion
This identifies the minimum version of the target application
required. The format is the same as the version (Section 3.1.2)
verb.
3.1.5.3. maxVersion
This identifies the maximum version of the target application
required. The format is the same as the version (Section 3.1.2)
verb.
3.2. Optional
3.2.1. description
This is a short description of the AEB intended for display to the
user. This should fit on one short line of text. A specific target
application may impose more strict length requirements.
3.2.2. creator
The creator verb identifies the name for the creator or prinicipal
developer of the AEB. This is inteded for display to the user.
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
3.2.3. developer
The developer verb identifies an additional developer of the AEB.
The principal developer should be named with the creator
(Section 3.2.2) verb. Additional developers are named with the
developer verb. There must be one and only one creator
(Section 3.2.2) verb if a developer verb is present. There is no
limit to the number of developer verbs allowed but a target
application may provide more strict limits. This is intended for
display to the user.
3.2.4. translator
The translator verb identifies language translators. There is no
limit to the number of translator verbs allowed but a target
application may provide more strict limits. This is intended for
display to the user.
3.2.5. contributor
The contributor verb identifies additional contributor to the AEB.
There is no limit to the number of contributor verbs allowed but a
target application may provide more strict limits. This is intended
for display to the user.
3.2.6. homepageURL
The URL for the AEB's homepage. If present, this must be a valid
URL. This is intended for display to the user.
3.2.7. iconURL
The URL for a 32x32 pixel icon intended for display to the user.
This will typically be displayed in a list of AEBs in the target
application. The icon should be a common image file format such as
PNG, JPG, or ICO. A target application may further restrict the
acceptable file types. Target applications must accept the AEB URL
scheme (Section 5) and may accept other URL schemes.
3.2.8. licenseURL
The URL for a file containing license text. This is intended for
display to the user. A target application may display this in any
way but this will typically be displayed in an "accept/reject" dialog
box during AEB installation. A target application must accept plain
text files in UTF-8 format and may accept other file formats. A
target application must accept the AEB URL scheme (Section 5) and may
accept other URL schemes. There is no limit to the number of
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
licenseURL verbs preset. All licenseURL files must be displayed but
a target application may use any ordering.
3.2.9. hidden
This is a boolean value. If true, the AEB is considered a hidden
AEB. A target application should not display this AEB in a list of
installed AEBs. A target application may have a way to enable the
display of hidden AEBs. This is intended to prevent the user from
seeing or removing AEBs which are considered a core piece of a target
application. Care should be used when marking an AEB as hidden. A
target application may disallow hidden AEBs. The value is case
insensitive. Valid positive values are: 1, t, and true. Valid
negative values are: 0, f, and false.
3.2.10. targetPlatform
This specifies the target platform for this AEB. There is no limit
to the number of targetPlatform verbs allowed. This should contain
either an operating system target or a complete application binary
interface (ABI) target. A target application defines valid target
strings. Some examples are WINNT, Linux, i686-pc-linux-gnu, and
x86_64-msvc8.
3.2.11. requires
This verb identifies another AEB requirement of this AEB. The format
is identical to targetApplication (Section 3.1.5) but the target id
refers to an AEB id. There is no limit to the number of requires
allowed. A target application may install the AEB if a required
target is not present but should disable the AEB until the target
becomes available. In addition to the id (Section 3.1.5.1),
minVersion (Section 3.1.5.2), and maxVersion (Section 3.1.5.3) verbs,
requires may contain a targetApplication verb.
3.2.11.1. targetApplication
The format of this verb is identical to the higher level
targetApplication (Section 3.1.5) verb. It is used to further
restrict a requires (Section 3.2.11). If present, it indicates that
the requires only applies when the target application meets the
specification of targetApplication. This is intended to specify AEB
requirements which are different depending on the target application
of the AEB.
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
3.2.12. incompatible
This verb identifies extensions which are incompatible with this AEB.
The format is identical to requires (Section 3.2.11) but the
identified extension and version must not be present in the target
application.
3.2.13. updateURL
This URL provides an update manifest file with information about AEB
updates. This URL should use the https scheme. If a non-secure
scheme is specified, an updateKey (Section 3.2.14) should be
specified. Further information on the format of this URL is
presented in updates (Section 6).
3.2.14. updateKey
This contains a base64 encoded public key used to verify update
signatures. The key is comprised of the encryption algorithm
identifier, following by a colon then the base64 encoding. The data
contained in the encoding is specific to the encryption algorithm
identifier. A target application which does not support the
specified encryption algorithm must refuse updates for this AEB.
There may be multiple updateKey verbs each providing a key for a
different encryption algorith. It is suggested that the updateURL
(Section 3.2.13) use the https scheme and the updateKey verb not be
used. Further information is presented in updates (Section 6).
An example updateKey
<urb:aebl:install-manifest> aebl:updateKey "x509:MIGfMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUAA4GNADCBiQKBgQDK426erD/H3XtsjvaB5+PJqbhj

Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
4. versions
Version numbers are period separated version fields. A target
application or AEB defines the specific meaning of various version
fields. This document defines the format and comparison rules only.
There must be at least one version field and there is no limit to the
number of allowed version fields. Each version field is comprised of
four parts: abcd. Parts a and c are integers greater than or equal
to 0. Parts b and d are ASCII encoded strings. Part a is required.
If part b, c or d is present, all parts to the left are required. A
part may be an asterisk (*) indicating an infinite value for that
part and is greater than all other values allowed for that part
except * which is equal. If a part contains a * the parts to the
right shall be ignored.
The following regular expression matches a version.
^(((-?\d+)|\*)((([a-zA-Z+_]+)|\*)(((-?\d+)|\*)(([a-zA-Z+_]+)|\*)?)?)?)(\.((-?\d+)|\*)((([a-zA-Z+_]+)|\*)(((-?\d+)|\*)(([a-zA-Z+_]+)|\*)?)?)?)*$
Comparison of two versions is performed left to right. The first
version field is compared and if equal, the next version field is
compared. Missing or empty fields are equivalent to 0. Comparison
of fields is performed left to right on each version part. The a and
c fields are considered base 10 and are compared numerically. Parts
b and d are ASCII encoded strings and are bytewise compared. An
existing string part is always less than a nonexistent string part.
A target application may interpret strings as case insensitive. A *
is always greater than any other value in a part. The following
example demostrates comparisons.
1.-1 < 1 == 1.0 == 1.0.0 < 1.1a < 1.1aa < 1.1ab < 1.1b < 1.1c
1.1c < 1.1foo < 1.1pre == 1.1pre0 < 1.1pre1a < 1.1pre1aa < 1.1pre1b < 1.1pre1
1.1pre1 < 1.1pre2 < 1.1pre10 < 1.1.-1 < 1.1
1.1 == 1.1.0 == 1.1.00 < 1.10 < 1.* < 1.*.1 < 2.0

Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
5. The aeb URL Scheme
The aeb URL scheme (for example aeb:///icons/small.png) is used to
reference files stored in an AEB. The root of an aeb URL refers to
the root of the AEB archive as defined in [refs.aeb].
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 12]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
6. Updates
An AEB may specify an updateURL (Section 3.2.13) which will return an
update manifest. If the URL scheme supports MIME types (such as http
and https) the MIME type of the update manifest must be a valid RDF
MIME type such as text/rdf+xml. A target application may limit which
RDF MIME types are accepted. The updateURL may contain the following
values which will be substituted before requesting the manifest.
Substitutions will be encoded as valid URLs.
%REQ_VERSION% The request format version. Currently this is 1
%AEB_ID% The id (Section 3.1.1) of this AEB
%AEB_VERSION% The version (Section 3.1.2) of the AEB
%AEB_MAXAPPVERSION% The maxVersion (Section 3.1.5.3) specified in
the AEB of the targetApplication requesting the update manifest
%AEB_STATUS% A comma separated list of the status of installed AEBs.
Each field is the id of the AEB, an equals (=) and a status
string. A target application defines the status strings. If the
corresponding status is supported by a target application, it
should use the following strings.
userEnabled The AEB is enabled and functional.
userDisabled The user has disabled the AEB.
incompatible The AEB is installed but is disabled because it is
not compatible with either the target application version or
one or more AEB versions.
blocksListed If the AEB target of the update manifest request is
disabled due to incompatibility of another AEB version, this
AEB is cause. Multiple AEBs may have this status.
needsDependencies The AEB is installed but is disabled because it
is missing one or more AEB dependencies.
%APP_ID% The id (Section 3.1.5.1) of the target application
requesting the update manifest
%APP_VERSION% The version of the target application requesting the
update manifest
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 13]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
%APP_TARGET% The OS and ABI platform of the target application
requesting the update manifest. The specific format is defined by
the target application.
%APP_LOCALE% The locale of the target application requesting the
update manifest
The update manifest is an RDF file simlar to an install manifest.
The namespace is the same as an install manifest and the primary
subject is urn:aebl:update-manifest:aebid where aebid is the id
(Section 3.1.1) of the AEB.
6.1. Verbs
6.1.1. signature
This contains the base64 encoded signature of the update manifest.
This has the same format as updateKey (Section 3.2.14). There may be
multiple signature verbs which correspond to multiple updateKey verbs
in the install manifest. The algorithm for generating and verifying
a signature is determined by the cryptographic algorithm. The
portion of the update that should be signed is the updates
(Section 6.1.2) group.
6.1.2. updates
This contains an RDF list with one list element per AEB version
defined in the update manifest.
6.1.2.1. version
This declares the version of the AEB for this list element.
6.1.2.2. targetApplication
This declares the target application for this list element. There
may be multiple targetApplication tags. The format is the same as
Section 3.1.5 with the addition of the following verbs.
6.1.2.2.1. updateURL
This is the URL for the AEB corresponding to this version
(Section 6.1.2.1) and targetApplication (Section 6.1.2.2)
combination.
Clarke Expires February 1, 2009 [Page 14]
Internet-Draft AEBL July 2008
6.1.2.2.2. updateInfoURL
This is a URL for an informational page about this updated AEB. This
is intended for display to the user.
6.1.2.2.3. updateSignature
This is the signature of the data obtained from Section 6.1.2.2.1.
This is not needed if the URL scheme is secure (such as https) and
follows the same rules and suggestions as signature (Section 6.1.1).
