Disposable/Discretionary
Another concept that is often confused with disposable income is
discretionary income. This is equal to disposable income minus the cost of the
fixed expenses of life (such as rent/mortgage, food, car payments, insurance,
etc.). It is income that can be saved or spent on goods and services wanted, not
needed. Disposable income is gross pay minus taxes and deductions. In other
words, disposable income is the same as "net pay". Unfortunately, the definition
of discretionary income is fuzzier than that of disposable income, making it
harder to measure.
When applying for a loan or a mortgage, banks often refer to the customer's
"disposable income" — based on the information here, the term they should be
using is actually "discretionary income."
Poverty
People that are living at or below the poverty line have no discretionary
income.

Personal Data Interchange (PDI)Home
Personal Data Interchange (PDI) occurs
every time two or more individuals communicate, in either a business or personal
context, face-to-face, or across space and time. Such interchanges frequently
include the exchange of informal information, such as business cards, telephone
numbers, addresses, dates, and times of appointments. Augmenting PDI with
electronics and telecommunications can help ensure that information is quickly
and reliably communicated, stored, organized and easily located when needed.
The versit consortium developed a comprehensive family of PDI technologies based
on open specifications and interoperability agreements to help meet this
technology need and that will allow you to communicate more easily, faster and
more accurately. The two main technologies that came from the versit consortium
were vCard, an electronic business card, and vCalendar, an electronic
calendaring and scheduling exchange format.
Beginning in December, 1996, the Internet Mail Consortium took on responsibility
for the development and promotion of these two important technologies. The press
release from the two organizations explains IMC's new stewardship.
vCard logo vCard: Your Electronic Business Card
vCard automates the exchange of personal information typically found on a
traditional business card. vCard is used in applications such as Internet mail,
voice mail, Web browsers, telephony applications, call centers, video
conferencing, PIMs (Personal Information Managers), PDAs (Personal Data
Assistants), pagers, fax, office equipment, and smart cards. vCard information
goes way beyond simple text, and includes elements like pictures, company logos,
live Web addresses, and so on.
vCard version 3 is defined in two parts:
* RFC 2425, MIME Content-Type for Directory Information
* RFC 2426, vCard MIME Directory Profile
IMC hopes that all vCard developers take advantage of these new open standards
and make their software compatible with both vCard v2.1 and vCard v3.0.
* An overview of vCard
* vCard White Paper
* Specifications and other materials for product developers
* A non-IMC extension to vCard for pronunciation and sorting
There is a microformat, "hCard", that enables (X)HTML to be marked up, using
just a set of class-names, so that vCards can be extracted from it. See the
hcard site for more information.
vCal logo vCalendar: The Basis for Cross-Platform Scheduling
vCalendar defines a transport and platform-independent format for exchanging
calendaring and scheduling information in an easy, automated, and consistent
manner. It captures information about event and "to-do" items that are normally
used by applications such as a personal information managers (PIMs) and group
schedulers. Programs that use vCalendar can exchange important data about events
so that you can schedule meetings with anyone who has a vCalendar-aware program.
iCalendar consists of three RFCs:
* RFC 2445, Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)
* RFC 2446, iCalendar Transport-Independent Interoperability Protocol (iTIP):
Scheduling Events, BusyTime, To-dos and Journal Entries
* RFC 2447, iCalendar Message-based Interoperability Protocol (iMIP)
IMC hopes that all vCalendar developers take advantage of these new open
standards and make their software compatible with both vCalendar 1.0 and
iCalendar.
* An overview of vCalendar
* vCalendar White Paper
* Specifications and other materials for product developers
* IETF Calendaring and Scheduling Working Group, where the next generation of
vCalendar is being worked on
There is a microformat, "hCalendar", that enables (X)HTML to be marked up, using
just a set of class-names, so that iCalendars can be extracted from it. See the
hCalendar site for more information.
