For representing a business, I would also recommend importing the
GoodRelations ontology from
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1
and represent the legal entity as an instance of
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#BusinessEntity
You can then attach the address and phone number etc. to that instance.
If you have branches or shop locations of the same legal entity, those
should be instances of
http://purl.org/goodrelations/v1#LocationOfSalesOrServiceProvisioning
Also here, you can attach vCard attributes easily.
If you need an example, just drop a note. For more info, see
http://purl.org/goodrelations/

vCard in RDF is the canonical one:

Hi all,
I'm interested in getting people's thoughts on a particular line
from the
"How to publish Linked Data on the Web" tutorial. Specifically the
following...
"It is common practice to mix terms from different vocabularies. We
especially recommend the use of
rdfs:label<http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-schema/#ch_label>and
foaf:depiction <http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/#term_depiction> properties
whenever possible as these terms are well-supported by client
applications."
I'm curious about a couple of things in regards to this: a) does anyone
know what "client applications" the authors might be referring to,
and b)
are there examples of other properties that enjoy similar support?
Thanks,
--jay
