Let's pause for a moment and see where we are.

Rob4 started this topic to "try and organise the identification of all the female models" in the *****climax.com sets. This is a good objective, but I think it should be part of a much larger CC database containing mag, film, video and internet info.

This "complete CC" database is impossible for one person to create, so we need to share the workload, like in this topic. We also need to share our data in a format that is easy to read and easy to use in databases or spreadsheets.

The best format is plain text in comma-separated values or CSV format. I asked Rob4 if he could change his data to CSV format and he kindly agreed (see post #1). I know that it was a lot of work for him. I ask that other people use CSV format.

I think it best to have two sets of entries, one for Set/Story Title/Magazine and the other for Set/Actress:
___________________________

.Type, CC Set, CC Category, CC Story Title, CC Pics#, Original Mag.Story#, Comments

.Type: . followed by one-letter code for data type, use .P (for Photoset or Pics)
CC Set: code on website, use lower-case letters, e.g. 84i, not 84I
CC Category: two-letter code for studio on website (CC, BC, SG, LL, AS, SB, TC, CG), leave blank if not known
CC Story Title: title on website
CC Pics#: number of pics on website, leave blank if not known
Mag: two-letter code for original mag (AS, BC, CC, EX, LL, MC, NC, RO, SB, SG, TC, TS) followed by mag number, use ? if not known or leave blank
Story#: number of story in mag, use ? if not known
Comments: special comments about the photoset only (not the story or actresses), leave blank if no special comments

Example
.P, 84i, SB, Kinky Game, 22, SB72.2,

(Set 84i is in Sex Bizarre studio on website, has title "Kinky Game", contains 22 pics and corresponds to second story in Sex Bizarre 72 mag)

(icu has provided a lot of this info already)
___________________________

.Type, CC Set, CC Name, Professional Name, Sex Action, Comments

.Type: . followed by one-letter code for data type, use .A (for Actress or Actor)
CC Set: code on website, use lower-case letters, e.g. 84i, not 84I
CC Name: actress name used on website, use ? if unknown
Professional Name: better-known name of actress, use ? if unknown
Sex Action: performed by actress, such as A (for anal) or DP or GS, separated by semi-colon ;
Comments: comments about actress as she appears in the story (but not sex action)

Example
.A, 84i, Barbara, Daniella Rush, A;DP;GS,

(Daniella Rush is called "Barbara" in set 84i and does anal, DP and GS)

(Rob4 has provided a lot of this info already)

Other thoughts:
* I think colour is not necessary. It takes too long to do. When the text is copied to an editor such as Notepad, colour disappears anyway.
* I have no interest at all in actor names.
* Links to egafd or bgafd or elsewhere in VEF could be provided when people click on Professional Name, but not for well-known IDs. When the text is copied to an editor such as Notepad, link info disappears which is OK.
