Dear all:

There is an updated spec of the vCard ontology for contact details. Such 
can be attached to many GoodRelations elements, like gr:BusinessEntity 
or gr:LocationOfSalesOrServiceProvisioning.

If you are using the previous vCard 2006 spec from our recipes, you do 
not have to change your data immediately, because it will take some time 
for data consumers to update or expand their queries. Also, given the 
huge amount of vCard 2006 data, I assume that most applications will 
still process vCard 2006 for the next coming years.

For novel applications, moving to the new format is recommended. If you 
are using vCard 2001 patterns, you should also upgrade your markup to 
the latest specification.

If you have any question, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best wishes

Martin Hepp

We are pleased to announce that an updated W3C Note for "Representing vCard Objects in RDF" is now available:

  http://www.w3.org/Submission/2010/SUBM-vcard-rdf-20100120

This W3C Member Submission merges the original W3C Note [1] with the later "An ontology for vCards" [2] to produce a unified approach to RDF vCard expression.

The W3C Team has also produced some comments on the Submission [3].

Cheers...  Renato Iannella (for the Authors)
