91	<h1>Overview</h1>
92	<p>The .tel top-level domain (TLD) uses the Domain Name System (DNS) as a data store for contact information in text records, location records, and Naming Authority Pointer records (NAPTR). To support this innovative technology, the sponsoring organization Telnic Ltd. provides a Java-based TelHosting Software application. This application interacts with the DNS directly, and exposes a publicly available web service, using SOAP over HTTP as its protocol. Client applications implementing this SOAP interface can work with the TelHosting Software application to perform all .tel-related operations, namely:</p>
93	<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
94	<li class="p">
95	<p>Conï¬gure all types of contact data: phone, mobile, e-mail, VOIP, chat, fax, locations, keywords, user names, web links, etc.</p>
96	</li>
97	<li class="p">
98	<p>Publish and update contact data in real-time</p>
99	</li>
100	<li class="p">
101	<p>Create proï¬les displaying different records depending on user preferences</p>
102	</li>
103	<li class="p">
104	<p>Control the distribution of private data to speciï¬c groups of people</p>
105	</li>
106	<li class="p">
107	<p>Specify keywords by which they want to be searched</p>
108	</li>
109	</ul>
110	<p>All APIs work by receiving request messages from the clients and sending response messages back to them unless the request message requires no response. All messages are expressed in XML, and their respective syntax is speciï¬ed by an XML schema; see <a href="schemas.html">List of Schema Files</a>. The messages must follow the specific format, see <a href="request_format.html">Message Format</a>.</p>
111	<h2>Groups of API Functions</h2>
112	<p>The SOAP API is divided into two logical parts: client and admin functions. The client APIs manage domains, zones, resource records, keywords, secondary users, and privacy settings. That part is covered in the Client SOAP API Reference document.</p>
113	<p>The admin APIs are mostly used by the TelHosting Providerâs system administrator (to set up, configure, and monitor the system) and by its support personnel (to manage customers and, if required, act on their behalf).  The most important parts deal with the control of who may use the system (â<a href="manage_users.html">User Management</a>â), to which extent (â<a href="manage_permissions.html">PerÂmissions Interface</a>â), and how much the user can be charged for the actual use (â<a href="billing_interface.html">Billing Interface</a>â). The â<a href="manage_nameservers.html">Name Server Management</a>â, on the other hand, allows the TelHosting Provider to alter the use of name servers and the way the distribution of zone data is performed.</p>
