This Memo defines the SKiCal format.
SKiCal is a machine-readable and machine-understandable format for
describing public events and other phenomena in time and space.
SKiCal is based on and extends the iCalendar format as defined by
RFC-2445, Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object
Specification (iCalendar) [3]. SKiCal objects are basically
iCalendar objects containing VEVENT components with the additions of
new properties and property parameters.
SKiCal takes the iCalendar paradigm further by addressing the
commonalties of resource publishers in a wider domain than that of
appointments and business meetings. SKiCal is suitable for events,
businesses, retailers and services as well as publicly accessible
resources within the sectors of tourism, sport, culture, education
and entertainment.
Several examples of real events are shown (See section 8) which
demonstrate the flexibility and compactness of SKiCal.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
