Abstract:
A presentity (160) within a Presence Information Data Format-compliant data structure (120) can be identified. The structure (120) can be comprised of one or more presence elements (122, 124). The presence elements (122, 124) can be associated with the presentity (160) and/or computing devices (162) linked to the presentity (160). The structure (120) can be recursed to a presence element (122, 124) or an element of an ordered list. Presence information (126, 128) from the presence element (122, 124) or element from an ordered list can be obtained. A master document (130) associated with the presentity (160) can be created. The master document (130) can include reference identifiers (110) for one or more sub-documents (132, 134). A sub-document (132,134) can include its reference identifier, a reference identifier to another sub-document, and presence information (126) associated with the presence element (122, 124).
