3.1.1 Abstract Data Model

This section describes a conceptual model of possible 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 that described in this document.

This protocol enables a Web server to create and update meeting workspaces. These workspaces are for online collaboration. A user can access the Web site managed by the protocol to attend a meeting or a series of meetings, each of which has its own meeting workspace.
