A record about a missing or found person.
Unique identifier for this record, which consists of a domain name followed by a slash and a local identifier. The domain name identifies this record's home repository, which is the authority for this record. The format of the local identifier is up to the home repository. When the person_record_id begins with a domain other than the application's own domain, it means this record is a clone of a record from another source.
(string in the form "yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ"): Date in UTC that this record was stored in the local application (not the date of creation in the home repository). The application must guarantee that this value increases monotonically so that a client can update a copy of a database by querying for all records with an entry_date greater than or equal to the entry_date of the last received record.
The full name of the person who entered this record.
The preferred contact e-mail address of the person who entered this record.
The preferred contact phone number of the person who entered this record.

Exact date of birth (in YYYY-MM-DD format) or approximate date of birth (in YYYY-MM format or YYYY format) of the person sought or found.
Age of the person sought or found, as of the source_date of this record. The value of this field is either a single decimal integer, or an inclusive range given as two decimal integers separated by a hyphen. This field has no defined meaning when source_date is missing.
(string, all capitals, no accents): Street name (no number) of the home address of the person sought or found.
(string, all capitals, no accents): Name of the home neighborhood of the person sought or found.

Free-form text containing any other static data fields brought in from other sources. (Non-static data imported from other sources should go into a note record.) Short fields should be on a single line with the field name, a colon, and the field value. Long fields can be given as a line with the field name and a colon, then text indented on the following lines. When a record is converted from some other form to PFIF by a machine process, the field "automated-record-creator" should be present and should name the program that produced the PFIF. A description of the person in free-form text can also go here, with the field name "description". For example:
description:
Dark hair, in her late thirties.
Also goes by the names "Kate" or "Katie".
automated-record-creator: ScrapeMatic 0.5
Field names for data imported from other applications should begin with the domain name and a slash. For example, if a birthdate is imported from an ICRC record, it might look like this:
