Re: [chairs] Biographic data schemas

[Robin Cover <robin@oasis-open.org>]

Hi Cathy,

There are a lot of standards (and non-standards) to survey
as possible sources of inspiration and re-use:

http://xml.coverpages.org/namesAndAddresses.html

# BS 7666 Spatial data-sets for geographic referencing
# CEN/TC133/WG3 Postal services, Addresses and Automatic Identification of Items
# ECCMA International Address Element Code
# The Encoded Archival Context (EAC) Initiative
# GCA/IDEAlliance Address Data Interchange Specification (ADIS)
# HR-XML Consortium Cross-Process Objects Schemas
# Linking and Exploring Authority Files (LEAF)
# OASIS TC Name and Address Standard (xNAL)
# SAMPLE: Single Administrative Message for Postal Enterprises
# Text Encoding Initiative: Names
# UK GovTalk Address and Personal Details Fragment
# Universal Postal Union (UPU)
# UN/PROLST
# US FGDC Address Data Content Standard
# US Postal Service
# ASTM E2182: Names in Healthcare Records
# vCard: Electronic Business Card
