I am afraid that there is no standard (yet). However, I can give you my personal approach: > ** Firstname Lastname :FirstnameLastname: > :PROPERTIES: > :TYPE: person > :TITLE: > :EMAIL: > :URL: > :MOBILE: 0043/ > :HOMEPHONE: > :WORKPHONE: > :PHONE: > :COMPANY: > :STREET: > :POSTALCODE: > :CITY: > :COUNTRY: Austria > :PHOTOGRAPH: [[photo:FirstnameLastname.jpg]] > :BORN: > :ITOLDTHEM_EMAIL: > :ITOLDTHEM_ADDRESS: > :ITOLDTHEM_PHONE: > :ADDRESS_CHANGE_METHOD: > :END: > > - first contact: ITOLDTHEM_* is used for automatically generating my email filter rules (spam-whitelist) and memorizing the level of information I gave out to companies. ADDRESS_CHANGE_METHOD is used to memorize email addresses, web pages, or contact information on how I am able to update my personal information such as address or phone number.
