Susan,

I can confirm that we haven't discussed these data elements within TaxXML,
but another option is CIQ.  In their Party schema (xPIL) there is an
attribute of PersonInfo that indicates that a person is living or deceased.
The deceased date is not included in the schema, but I mentioned this
question to the CIQ committee and they are concidering adding the element.

 Susan,

 I can't speak about Tax XML data elements, but I am aware that the
 insurance industry XML data elements include the types of details being
 requested.  The schema are located at www.acord.org. They are free but
 permission will be needed to use any portion of the schema "as is".
 Contact details for obtaining permission are included in each schema.

 You are listed as a Co-Chair on the OASIS Tax XML TC.

 I'm retired and trying to build a little enthusiasm for an open source
 Genealogy. I've got a crazy idea that the industry (at least open source)
 could use the XML Taxonomy as database elements and save us all a lot of
 trouble later on when we strat finding the sharing opportunites between
 our ancestors and the public records they leave behind.

 Most of the elements that I've need so far have come from the Human
 Resources schema, but when I got onto a "graves project" I got stumped.

 Apparently the HR folks don't haven't defined an element for "deceased" or
 "Date Deceased" or other details dealing with an individual having
 expired. It occurred to me that these might well be elements that the Tax
 Administration task force might use. I was unable to find your poposed
 taxonomy on the Committee web site, so I thought I'd see if you might be
 able to help. These are not elements that are likely to cause controversy
 once identifiedvand there might be a straman out there some place...

 First I'd like to thank you for recognizing and dealing with the
 importance of standardization and then thank you in advance for any
 advice/details you might be able to give me.
