location: how do you represent this?
birthday: is this always known?
ID: civicrm id or something else?

I think the external id field would work for this but not sure - are you trying to sync up with an external system that already has these ids?

Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

You could use a hook to populate the external_identifier field with this stuff.
