This ontology provides a very high level definition of address, essentially a placeholder for use in mapping addresses to the appropriate regional standards or to some as yet undefined global address ontology, for use in other FIBO ontology elements. A minimal set of address related terms are included as required for financial risk management and other application use cases, and these are all to be considered as placeholders for suitable global address standards as these become available. Addresses Ontology has a means by which the entity may be located or contacted or may receive correspondence has address an index to a location to which communications may be delivered address a system for allocating addresses to objects addressing scheme a physical address where postal communications can be addressed, for any kind of organization or person postal address a physical area uniquely identified by some postal code post code area a physical address where communications can be addressed, papers served or representatives located for any kind of organization or person physical address an address identifying a virtual, i.e. non-physical location virtual address 1 1 1 Copyright (c) 2013-2016 EDM Council, Inc.

The http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/20141101/Places/Addresses.rdf version of this ontology was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FND 1.1 RTF report. Differences from the 1.0 version include the addition of a hasAddress property and PhysicalAddress class as a parent of PostalAddress. The http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/20130801/Places/Addresses.rdf version of this ontology was modified per the issue resolutions identified in the FIBO FND 1.0 FTF report and in http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/1.0/AboutFND-1.0/. Primary differences include elimination of data properties in favor of a simple class model,the addition of virtual address, and the addition of addressing scheme. The http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/Foundations/20130601/Organizations/Addresses.owl version of the ontology was revised in advance of the September 2013 New Brunswick, NJ meeting, as follows: (1) to use slash style URI/IRIss (also called 303 URIs, vs. hash style) as required to support server side processing (2) to use version-independent IRIs for all definitions internally as opposed to version-specific IRIs (3) to change the file suffix from .owl to .rdf to increase usability in RDF tools (4) to use 4-level abbreviations and corresponding namespace prefixes for all FIBO ontologies, reflecting a family/specification/module/ontology structure (5) to incorporate changes to the specification metadata to support documentation at the family, specification, module, and ontology level, similar to the abbreviations (6) to move this ontology from Organizations to Places and eliminate unnecessary properties and related imports dependencies. http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/Utilities/AnnotationVocabulary/ http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/Relations/Relations/ http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/Arrangements/IdentifiersAndIndices/ http://www.omg.org/spec/EDMC-FIBO/FND/Places/Locations/ http://www.omg.org/spec/ODM/ http://www.w3.org/standards/techs/owl#w3c_all has a means by which the entity may be located or contacted or may receive correspondence an index to a location to which communications may be delivered This came from FDTF Address Reviews Aug/Sept 2011. It represents a place holder for mapping to other standards, such as those for email, network, and other electronic addresses as well as physical and mailing addresses. a system for allocating addresses to objects a physical address where postal communications can be addressed, for any kind of organization or person a physical area uniquely identified by some postal code a physical address where communications can be addressed, papers served or representatives located for any kind of organization or person An address is a collection of information, presented in a mostly fixed format, used for describing the location of a building, apartment, or other structure or a plot of land, generally using political boundaries and street names as references, along with other identifiers such as house or apartment numbers. Some addresses also contain special codes to aid routing of mail and packages, such as a ZIP code or post code. (Wikipedia) There are existing international and regional standards for defining postal addresses. This is a place holder for mapping to regional standards for postal address representation an address identifying a virtual, i.e. non-physical location
