Postal address class

[jpmckinney]

The INSPIRE vs vCard debate #1 may be moot, given that address data is usually not available as streetAddress, locality, region, country and postalCode (in vCard terms) but more commonly as a chunk of text that would be difficult to parse into those fields. It may be best to just use a single string (that can contain newlines) to store a postal address. This may particularly be true, given the less common addressing systems of Japan and Nicaragua, which neither INSPIRE nor vCard can express except as blocks of text.

Can re-open if there is interest in breaking up an address into its components.

This is interesting for Germany. The data components are available quite often. I am working on a proposal for OpenGovLD.
