In 2017 I introduced Robert Charles Anderson's concept of Genealogically Defined Profiles to WikiTree (See Here).
My goal at the time was to offer a way for a WikiTreer to assess a profile for a basic level of completeness while providing real evidence to support their statements.
This was a kind of beginning or basic standard that encouraged sourcing all relationships and vital information. The idea was to promote evidence based statements for all relationships established.
New WikiTree Technology has grown quite a lot since that time that we can almost automate that assessment. With the introduction of the My Connections app, the Degree one results provides a list of all pertinent relationships. The Missing Links app kind of does converse (Step One results), showing what relationships are missing. Neither of the apps label the results as Parents, Spouses and Children. And they do not assess if they have been sourced.
I believe we also have several apps that can assess if a birth, death, or marriage date has been provided if appropriately supplied but again, nothing that assesses if these have been sourced.
The key to GD profiles is that you have found all Degree One (or Step one) connections and have provided at least one source showing true evidence for the connection and you have established BMD Vitals with a least once source of evidence for each.
I would love to see a button on a profile that you could push that would perform the Degree one connection with relationship labels (parent, spouse, children) and with BMD dates.
One could then assess if there are missing relationships and dates.
And from I have seen, it seems like if we included appropriate information in the Biography (with a source for each of these connections and vitals), we can then assess if they have each been properly sourced and determine what is needed of if the profile has truly been Genealogically Defined.
Again, the idea is to provide a tool to aid in researching and creating a basic or beginning level profile that could be considered completed with appropriate evidence to support all key components.
