Subject: RE: Registry concern with specifying common vertical structures


ISO?, CIQ?, HR-XML?, *?
I still question if PostalAddress should be in scope for formal
specification of the ebXML Registry at all.

Reply from Ram - looks more promising than
first thought.

This - and W.Kammerer on ISO seem possibles.

Mary-Kay - comments?

David

You are right that the work we are doing on name and address
standards is fairly heavy stuff. But the beauty is that it covers
any application that want to use simple representation of the name
and address to very detailed representation of name and address
elements. For example, if you have a postal address say,

23 Archer Avenue East
Boulder, Colorado 12345-8976

Following are some of the ways that you can represent the above address
using the XML standard we are working on:

<address>23 Archer Avenue East
                Boulder, Colorado 12345-8976
</address>

OR

<address>
  <addressline1>23 Archer Avenue East</addressline1>
  <addressline2>Boulder, Colorado 12345-8976</addressline2>
</address>

OR

<address>
  <streetnumber>23</streetnumber> <streetname>Archer</streetname>
<streettype>Avenue</streettype>
<streetpostdirection>East</streetpostdirection>
<cityname>Boulder</cityname> <statename>Colorado</statetame>
<postcode>12345</postcode> <extendedpostcode>8976</extendedpostcode>
</address>

OR

<address>
<street>23 Archer Avenue East</street>
<city>Boulder</city><state>Colorado<./state>
<postcode>12345-8976</postcode>
</address>

This is the level of flexibility that we provide in our standard. Moreover,
please note
that our standard work can handle atleast more than 40-50 country address
structures.
The point I am trying to make is that it is not compulsary to define all
the
postal elements
to represent an address as you state. Most of the elements are optional.
