uri: https://gedcom.io/terms/v7/ALIA

standard tag: 'ALIA'

specification:
  - Alias
  - |
    A single individual may have facts distributed across multiple individual
    records, connected by `ALIA` pointers (named after "alias" in the computing
    sense, not the pseudonym sense).
    
    <div class="note">
    
    This specification does not define how to connect `INDI` records with `ALIA`.
    Some systems organize `ALIA` pointers to create a tree structure, with the root
    `INDI` record containing the composite view of all facts in the leaf `INDI`
    records. Others distribute events and attributes between `INDI` records
    mutually linked by symmetric pairs of `ALIA` pointers. A future version of this
    specification may adjust the definition of `ALIA`.
