Do you know of a XML spec that I can use to store user details such as
name, address etc.

Thanks,
Jacob

Maybe its overkill, but you could try the ldap-style xml spec:

If its only for internal use and fairly lightweight, you could make your
own.

Hi Jacob,

You may want to check XML Schema Standard Type Library:

http://codesynthesis.com/projects/xsstl/

It defines a number of basic types (e.g,, email address, country code,
phone number, etc.) that could be used as elementary building blocks.

vCard, for simple stuff. This is trivial, but widely understood.

Dublin Core is often useful in such cases too

In addition to the other references, see the shared schemas that have
been posted at the Oasis website. These are about as close as we come
these days to standardized business-data models. They may be overkill
for your needs, of course.
