Is vCard range restriction on org:siteAddress necessary?

2011-01-04 Thread Phil Archer
I'm doing a bit of grunt work on some data about companies and want to remodel relevant sections using the org vocabulary [1]. But... I'd rather not be forced to use vCard for the address info (because UK addresses don't fit the vCard model particularly well. You can make them fit, but it's a

Thanks everyone for the replies. OK, I'm going to try and use vCard like it says! Dave R - thanks for the example of one location having 2 addresses. I thought that such a thing might be possible but couldn't think of an example. I was thinking about shared office space but that didn't lead

I wish the conflation of a VCard and a SocialEntity whose card it is were either ruled out completely or asserted completely by statements in the ontology. I personally find that the class of business card is one which I do not want to have any data about. (In fact for me it maps best not to a

Hi Phil, My inclination is to simply use VCard as is (including the sub-resources) rather than try to short cut by collapsing the VCard and Address. So I'd tend to write your example as: blah a org:Site; org:siteAddress blah/vcard . blah/vcard a v:VCard ; v:fn Blah Ltd (Headquarters);

Thanks Dave, I'll use this, although, as you say, it's because of the re-use issue. VCard seems to have many of the problems that TimBL points to. And it does seem that encoding names and addresses in RDF is a recurring problem that has yet to be solved to everyone's satisfaction. Ah well...
