I went over several standards documents for student demographic and
contact info and took a crack at assembling a reasonable common set of
attributes for the sake of starting further discussion.

Name
----

First name*
Last name*
Prefix
Middle name
Suffix
Preferred
Sort name?

Demographics
------------

ID #
Gender*
Birthday*
Ethnicity*
Native language
Place of birth
Citizenship

Contact (per contact)
---------------------

We probably need to be able to attach arbitrary numbers of contact
persons to students.  This data would be stored about the student
himself and/or each parent, etc. contact.

Priority (in list of contacts)
Name (as above)
Address line 1
Address line 2
City
State
Country
Postal code
Email
Home phone
Work phone
Mobile phone
Language

School
------

Advisor
Counselor

There are sets of properties which can, and perhaps should be,
expressed as group memberships, such as gifted/talented.  This may
allow for somewhat easier customization than attaching lists of
boolean attributes to students.

What would you need to have added?
