<address> Address/Contact Information

Container element for contact information such as a postal address for a person or organization.

Usage/Remarks

There are many ways to tag an address: as text; as a series of named address elements including <country>, <email>, <fax>; as a series of address lines <addr-line>, which may or may not have other elements such as <country> identified within them as a mixture of named elements and address lines; etc.

Common Practice

If the address is divided into lines, the lines can be preserved using the <addr-line> element. If the address is just a block of undifferentiated text, numbers, or special characters, the entire address may be placed inside one <addr-line> element.
Related Elements
The elements used in an address may include the address class elements: <addr-line>, <city>, <country>, <fax>, <institution>, <institution-wrap>, <state>, <phone>, and <postal-code> and the address linking class elements: <email>, <ext-link>, and <uri>.
