The purpose of this is to enable support for social features in the PhotArk back-end and to enable persisting social data. As discussed in an earlier thread [1], I am planning to build the API based on the Open Social data specification 1.0 [2]. It has two parts: Primary Social Data[3] and Additional Social Data[4]. Supporting the primary data is essential. I would like to know the thoughts of you about supporting the additional social data, considering its usage in PhortArk. In my opinion, it will be fine to use String data type for fields like Address, Organization, Name (firstname & lastname) etc. Your valuable thoughts are much appreciated.
