## Simple Summary

**Family List** contains information about a DID's family members, such as siblings, spouse, children, etc.

## Abstract

Insert better description.

The Family List is often linked from a [Connections Index (CIP-18](https://github.com/ceramicnetwork/CIP/issues/17).

## Motivation

Family is a common aspect of one's identity.

## Specification
The Family List specification consists of a doctype, schema, and tags.

### Doctype

The Family List is a [Tile Doctype (CIP-8)](https://github.com/ceramicnetwork/CIP/issues/56).

### Schema
> Family List borrows many attribute names from the schema.org [person schema](https://schema.org/Person).

`siblings`: An array of DIDs for the DID's siblings.

`spouses`: An array of DIDs for the DID's spouse(s).

`children`: An array of DIDs for the DID's children.

```jsx
{
"$schema": "http://json-schema.org/draft-07/schema#",
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"siblings": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/DIDArray"
},
"spouses": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/DIDArray"
},
"children": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/DIDArray"
}
},
"definitions": {
"DID": {
"type": "string",
"pattern": "^did:.+:.+"
},
"DIDArray": {
"type": "array",
"items": {
"$ref": "#/definitions/DID"
}
}
}
}
```

### Tags

When creating a Family List document, add `FamilyList` to the **tags** field.
