Genealogy with views and cck (and RDF?)

In http://drupal.org/node/395586 I suggest a way to create genealogies via cck and views. I am working on implementing it on a drupal site, but wondered if there is any input these groups can provide me with:

I would like to add that I plan on primarily using prepopulate in creating links for this, but I can see that some stuff will need some module code in order to be user friendly.

I tried to find out at http://www.daml.org/2001/01/gedcom/ how gedcom is built up, and not least the RDF by importing it via evoc, but it seems that evoc wouldn't create something in neologism to show me the system.

Research GEDCOM

Your Individual and Event* entities are way off of how GEDCOM is defined. I suggest you do some research, started with GEDCOM on wiki and especially the GEDCOM 5.5 Standard (Executable file in Envoy format).

There are other resources out there that cover how to convert GEDCOM into database or XML formats, so that you can import/export to/from SQL backend.

Hi ebrittwebb
Just wondering what your interests are in Genealogy?
I implemented a genealogy knowledge base in mKR (http://mkrmke.org).
My system outputs a standard GEDCOM file.
I built my own family history -- about 1100 people.
