The Persona vocabulary imports vCard (http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns) and uses most of it as is, but with a few tweaks described below.

UML Overview

We show below the aspect of the Persona vocabulary that builds on the vCard vocabulary. Attribute names and class names imported from other, non-vcard vocabularies are shown in italics. Classes from other vocabularies are shown in grey.

Attributes Not Used

  • category
  • class
  • email - use foaf:mbox
  • fn - use skos:prefLabel
  • agent - use hasAgent
  • geo - use geo:location
  • key
  • mailer - not sure what this is
  • photo - use foaf:thumbnail
  • prodid
  • rev
  • sort-string
  • sound
  • tz - not sure syntax of range/value
  • uid - use entityId
  • url - use foaf:page (and sub-attributes)

Other conventions

Whereas by inference a p:Person node that has a adr or n etc link is a VCard, we add the following constraints (that are not present in usual VCards) on p:Persons using these complex attributes:

  1. A single p:Person instance has a maximum of one adr, one n, one org

The implication of #1 above is that if a person has N addresses, then N separate p:Person nodes must be instantiated. If it is desired to indicate the time period for which the person lived at a given address, the h:start..h:end attributes on the p:Person node are used.
