One approach:
- People has a ForeignKey(Address) -- assuming only 1 address
per person, otherwise use ManyToManyField.
- Organization has a ForeignKey(Address)
- Both People and Organization have ManyToManyField(Phone#)
- Phone number field contains a field to describe what type of
phone number it is (landline, fax, mobile, ...)
The People to Organization link can be done through an intermediate
table, as in [1]. This allows you to put an attribute on the
intermediate table indicating the type of relationship (owner, customer,
etc).
