iCal4j Template
iCal4j Template provides prototypes for common iCalendar and vCard use-cases.
Overview
Whilst the iCalendar and vCard specifications provide generalized component and property constraints, some applications may require further constraints to fulfill the requirements of the use-case. iCal4j Templates provides some opinionated prototyping and validation for common use-cases, and a portable definition language for constructing your own.
Template Domains
Templates are group by specific problem domains, or common scenarios that could benefit from the use of the iCalendar and vCard standards. These domains include:
- Groupware - communicating and collaborating within and across teams
- Project - project management objectives and tracking
- Agile - manage software development and other projects using Agile techniques
- Workflow - respond to requests and manage approval workflows
- Catalog - define and fulfil a collection of standard offerings
- Wiki - knowledge management collaboration using Wiki concepts
