Introduction The present document introduces a Data Description Method (DDM) and Datatype Definition Method (DtDM) to be used for Generic User P
23、rofile (GUP) data. The DDM is a set of common rules on how to specify the data components. These rules meet the requirements specified in 3GPP TS 22.240 10 Stage 1 Generic User Profile. The DDM defines a method for describing 3GPP GUP data in both the 3GPP network and the User Equipment. The Datatyp
24、e Definition Method is a set of rules for defining new datatypes. The DtDM forms part of the Data Description Method. The DtDM can also be applied to datatypes outside of GUP. The built-in datatypes and rules are defined in 5 the W3C XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes specification. The present document f
25、or a DDM and DtDM will capture features that will allow: 1) A method to describe the data and structure in a User Profile in a consistent manner. 2) Efficient usage and/or replication of data. 3) Coexistence with existing data description methods such as OMA UAProf and SyncML Device Management. 4) E
26、ffective support for management and maintenance of data. 5) Extensibility for future needs and the easy addition of new features. ETSI ETSI TR 123 941 V6.0.0 (2004-12) 6 3GPP TR 23.941 version 6.0.0 Release 6 1 Scope The present document is the Stage Two description for the Data Description Method (
27、DDM) and the Datatype Definition Method (DtDM) of the 3GPP Generic User Profile. The present document specifies the method for describing the logical structure of the data description, Generic User Profile, Profile Components, methods for describing Datatypes and other constructs for use in 3GPP. Th
28、e GUP data description method is designed to coexist with other data description technologies. The document includes: DDM and DtDM features and definition; Process and procedures for administration of GUP/DDM and 3GPP TS 24.241 12. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, throu

36、3.1 Definitions For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply: The terms “GUP“ and “Profile“ are synonymous within the present document. 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP): collection of user related data which affects the way in which an individual user experience
37、s services and which may be accessed in a standardized manner as described in this specification. The Generic User Profile is defined using the W3C XML recommendation 1. Profile Instance: physical representation of a Profile, and is a collection of Profile Component Instances. For every user there i
38、s exactly one Profile Instance which is regarded as the Master. Additional copies containing the same data are allowed. Profile Component (logical): A Profile Component is logically a part of the Generic User Profile. A Profile Component is instantiated and thus has an associated Profile Component I
39、nstance. Profile Component Instance (physical): physical representation of a Profile Component. To one Profile Component (logical) corresponds one Profile Component Instance which is regarded as the Master and one or more component instance copies, i.e. physical copies. Component instances may be lo
40、cated in the Home Network, in the Value Added Service Provider Environment and/or the User Equipment. Profile Data Element: indivisible unit of Generic User Profile information. GUP Information Model: method describing how to define data structure, the way data elements are defined and the relations
41、hip to each other. The Information Model is describing the concept of Generic User Profile. Data Description Method (DDM): method describing how to define the data contained in the Generic User Profile. The description is defined using the W3 XML Schemas recommendations 5 and 6. Master Instance: amo
42、ng the instances (physical) associated with a Profile or Profile Component (logical), one of them is tagged with the role of “master instance“. The master instance is responsible for the correct value of the corresponding Profile component. Identity: permanent Identifier used to identify one Instanc
43、e of a data entity in 3GPP TR 23.941. An Identity exists at the level of a Profile and a Profile Component. An Identity includes a representation of the User Identity within its structure. User Identity: is the means to uniquely identify a User (such as an IMSI). Datatype Definition Method (DtDM): m
44、ethod describing how to define the new datatypes contained in the Generic User Profile, including an initial set of built-in datatypes. Data Payload: is the useful data in Profile and Profile Components. It consists of a number of Attributes carrying the data values. ETSI ETSI TR 123 941 V6.0.0 (200
45、4-12) 8 3GPP TR 23.941 version 6.0.0 Release 6 3.2 Abbreviations For the purposes of the present document, the following abbreviations apply: DDM Data Description Method DE Data Element DtDM Datatype Definition Method GUP Generic User Profile PC Profile Component 4 General Description As the data co
46、ntained in the 3GPP Generic User Profile is going to be handled by different applications and entities for different purposes, there is a risk that various description methods might lead to duplications and/or inconsistencies. Therefore, a standard description method to describe the data should be u
47、sed in the 3GPP mobile systems specifications, i.e. the Data Description Method (DDM) and Datatype Definition Method (DtDM). Clause 5 defines the concepts used to model the GUP data and their relationships. It also defines characteristics of all Profile Component types and is used in the design and
48、implementation of generic functions for using, maintaining and managing GUP data. Properties specific to a Profile Component type are described using the DDM and DtDM. Clause 6 describes the DDM, which defines how to describe GUP data in a standardized manner. The description of the users services c
49、onfiguration and personalization data using the DDM results in manipulating and accessing these data in a structured and standardized way. The DDM will help to overcome some of the challenges associated with the introduction of sophisticated user terminals and services with widely varying capabilities, hybrid combinations of mobile network domains, the advent of downloadable applications, and the desire of users to customize potentially complex services to individual preferences and needs.
