It’d be a good idea for easy consistency. In fact, I’m making one right now in the rec file format.

The recutils format would be best suited to this task.

    I’m not super familiar with the concept. it sounds interesting. Can you expound on how a database of metadata can help us?

      Currently, information about communist parties are all over the place.

      In an updated database, info of communist parties can easily and (automatically) be retrieved.

      There could be a database of data on communist parties.

    Here is a mockup:

    %rec: communist_party
%type: Name line
%type: Founded date
%type: Political_Line line
%mandatory: Name
%doc: A communist party.

# Communist Party of China
Name: 中国共产党
Abbreviation: CPC
Founded: 1921-07-23
Political_Line: Marxism-Leninism
Political_Line: Mao Zedong Thought

    I should probably define some types for the persons.
