Well, first of all I have to say "thank you" for all your feedback.
The reason why I thought about a "standard" (and I know that it IS possible) is the software I used to archive my DVD-Collection. It's named DVD-Profiler, and it's also used by thousand of people.
But as there is no database for calibre, filled by users, it's more than only difficult. Maybe anytime this will come where you can upload YOUR data when there is nothing so far. I hope that these days I am done with authors/titles/series, then the next step to handle is short descriptions of several thousand books - and bringing down the publishers to a shorter list (once again because of the several different spellings or ways they are written).
I am sure within the next 50 years a lot of things will change and might be "standardized" but I am also sure that I wont survive until that date ;-)
