Here are my latest thoughts about the .A Actor category. I have tried to take on board comments about my earlier proposals. The .A category is intended to be a list of actors who perform in mags, films and videos from CC and other companies. Therefore it is not CC-specific.
The proposed CSV format is below. Some previous fields have been deleted and these are not mentioned.
Actor
Type
Gender
Name
AKA (Also Known As)
Date of birth
Country of birth
Links
Comments
Notes
Type: .A
Gender: single-letter code for gender, F = female or M = male or S = shemale
Name: professional / porn name of actor
that we here at VEF think is the best. If the professional name is unknown, a Shoot Actor Alias should be used (see .SA Shoot Actor below). If actor is unnamed in all of his or her shoots, an ID based on the earliest Shoot ID should be used (please see .SA again).
AKA: other porn name(s) by which actor is known, with multiple names separated by
;
Date of birth: format is D Mon Year, where D = number of day in month
Country of birth: three letter upper-case code for country (
exact code to be agreed)
Links: website link(s), with multiple links separated by
;
Discussion
As Real Name has been deleted, Professional Name can be changed to just
Name without any confusion arising. Aliases has been changed to
AKA to avoid confusion with Shoot Actor Alias (see post 19 below). Nationality has been changed to
Country of birth.
All comments welcome.
