Genealogy Brainstorming

Contributors

Gender

To make life easier for publishers, the following values should all equate, without requiring the use of abbr to:

Male

  • male
  • he
  • man
  • m
  • son
  • father
  • husband
  • brother
  • uncle
  • nephew
  • grandfather/ grand-father / great-grand-father etc.
  • grandson/ grand-son / great-grand-son etc.
  • ...

Female

  • female
  • she
  • woman
  • f
  • fem
  • wife
  • daughter
  • mother
  • sister
  • aunt
  • niece
  • grandmother/ grand-mother / great-grand-mother etc.
  • granddaughter/ grand-daughter / great-grand-daughter etc.
  • ...

Issue

  • What about other languages?
  • Gender reassignment and other edge cases
    • Outside the 80/20 cut-off
    • Could use abbr

Relationships

Additional XFN rel values may be required (e.g. "uncle"; see above for further examples).

From existing publishing practices, it seems likely that primary relationships ("mother", "father", "son", "daughter", "brother", "sister", "husband", "wife"; or perhaps the gender-neutral "parent", "child", "sibling", "spouse") are more commonly expressed when linking from one page to another; though non-marriage partnerships and short-term liaisons should also be catered for.
