Description

Dan MacQuillan:

'Using this open standard for storing both person records (identifying information about a person) and note records (comments and updates on the status and location of a person) enables survivor registries to aggregate and share information with each other via automated means. One of the creators, Kieran Lal, wrote a personal account of the creation of PFIF showing how individual efforts weaved together projects like CiviCRM and companies like Salesforce.
