* Use Kevin Devine's [http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/usermeta/frs/ User meta] to create additional User data elements needed.
 
* Add data elements and user maintenance processes that provide for privacy questions and responses in order to ensure end user is willing to share information.
 
 
Integrate [http://triplify.org/ Triplify] into this environment mapping data base data elements to existing vocabularies and exposing publicly available, given end user privacy responses.
