 '''vCard''' is a standard format for exchanging contact information, originated in 1995 as Versitcard. It is commonly used as an e-mail attachment for a digital business card to give recipients the sender's addresses (paper, e-mail, phone, etc.), but it can also be used to store, import, export, and transfer address books by saving/loading multiple records (possibly stored in the same file). A number of RFC documents have been issued regarding versions, extensions, and attributes of this format. Among the extended attributes are date and place of death, so apparently the usage of this format is expected to go beyond tracking current address books (in which entries for deceased persons aren't very useful) and perhaps be used for other things such as [[Bibliographic data|bibliography]] and [[Genealogical data|genealogy]] where persons both living and dead do need to be tracked.
