Abstract
The currently existing iCalendar standard (RFC 2445) provides only a
simple text field ("LOCATION" property) for specifying the location
where an event (or "TODO" item) will occur. While this may be
adequate for human readers, it is difficult for automated systems to
make use of. With the recent advent of tools and services (event
aggregators, for example) which would benefit greatly from structured
location data, the need to specify detailed venue information has
become apparent. This document describes a proposed method for
addressing this need.

Need to test your iCalendar feeds?
The iCalendar Validator provides developers and testers a method to validate their iCalendar feeds, which can take data from either a URL, file or text snippet and compare it against the RFC 5545 specification. We believe we have one of the best iCalendar validation tools available on the internet. More information about the validator can be found here.
