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. Classes from other vocabularies are shown in grey.

Classes and Attributes Used

Note: Additional attributes from persona.owl or higgins.owl are shown in bold below.

persona:Person

The following attributes are used on p:Person objects:

  • 0..1 title
  • 0..1 tel
  • 0..1 n
  • 0..1 adr
  • 0..1 org

Address

  • 0..1 address
  • 0..1 extended-address
  • 0..1 post-office-box
  • 0..1 locality
  • 0..1 region
  • 0..1 postal-code
  • 0..1 country-name - SHOULD use p:country instead whenever possible

Email

Name

  • 0..1 honorific-prefix
  • 0..1 given-name
  • 0..N additional-name
  • 0..1 family-name
  • 0..1 honorific-suffix

Organization

  • 0..1 organization-name
  • 0..1 organization-unit

Other classes

  • Work
  • Also used: Parcel, Dom, Intl, Pref, Postal
  • Also used: BBS...Voice as shown above

Classes Not Used

  • Label (disjoint with Tel) - not used (don't yet understand what it is)

Attributes Not Used

  • agent - use hasAgent
  • bday - p:birthDay, p:birthMonth, p:birthYear
  • category
  • class
  • fn - use skos:prefLabel
  • geo - use geo:location
  • key
  • logo
  • mailer - not sure what this is
  • photo
  • 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.
