3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of data organization that an implementation maintains to participate in this protocol. This document does not mandate that implementations adhere to this model as long as their external behavior is consistent with the behavior described in this document.

Information about notifications and alert subscriptions is specified in [MS-OSALER].

This protocol retrieves and deletes alert subscriptions. Each authenticated user will have an individual list of alert subscriptions.

An alert subscription is a persistent request on the server for a notification (alert) that a particular document or list has been modified in a specific way. The alert subscription contains the information that determines when to generate a notification, and how to deliver the notification.
