Providing schedulable calendars electronically

A computer storage device not consisting of a propagated data signal which stores a set of instructions which when executed performs a method for providing schedulable calendars, the method executed by the set of instructions comprising:

• determining whether a calendar is schedulable by evaluating an extension property that annotates calendar data controlled by a calendar owner, the extension property associated with a user;
• in response to determining that the calendar is not schedulable by the user, transmitting data in a markup language indicating that the calendar is not schedulable to the user;
• and
• in response to determining that the calendar is schedulable by the user:
• receiving control data from the calendar owner, the control data including:
• working hours that correspond to the calendar owner
• and data that indicates the filtered calendar data is restricted to within a time period that corresponds to the user's working hours;
• a level of detail selected from a plurality of pre-defined detail levels for displaying appointment data, wherein the plurality of pre-defined detail levels comprises:
• an availability only level providing first calendar information regarding whether the calendar owner is busy for a particular time span;
• and
• a limited level providing second calendar information that includes greater detail than the first calendar information;
• a full details level providing third calendar information that includes greater detail than the second calendar information;
• and
• a field indicating the privacy of the appointment data;
• filtering the calendar data based on the level of detail and the field indicating the privacy of the appointment data to create filtered calendar data;
• and
• transmitting the filtered calendar data and the extension property to the user, the filtered calendar data and the extension property represented in the markup language.

A computer-implemented method of determining schedulability information comprising:

• receiving filtered calendar data from a first computing device, the filtered calendar data including control data indicating a level of a filter for displaying appointment data selected from a set of predefined filters, wherein the set of predefined filters include a plurality of pre-defined detail levels comprises:
• an availability only level providing first calendar information regarding whether the calendar owner is busy for a particular time span;
• and
• a limited level providing second calendar information that includes greater detail than the first calendar information;
• a full details level providing third calendar information that includes greater detail than the second calendar information;
• wherein the control data further includes:
• a field indicating a privacy of the appointment data;
• and
• working hours that correspond to the calendar owner
• and data that indicates the filtered calendar data is restricted to within a time period that corresponds to the user's working hours;
• determining that the first calendar is schedulable by evaluating a first calendar extension property that is determined based on a recipient;
• determining that a second calendar is not schedulable by evaluating a second calendar extension property that is determined based on the recipient;
• in response to determining that the filtered calendar data is marked as schedulable and the filtered calendar data is not private, transmitting the filtered calendar data based on one of the plurality of pre-defined detail levels, the filtered calendar data represented by markup data;
• and
• in response to determining that the filtered calendar data is marked as not schedulable, indicating that the filtered calendar data is not schedulable, the indication represented by markup data.
