On the issue of modeling ResidenceAddress Vs. OfficialAddress....

 From a pure UML modeling stand point (always a good reference point for 
me), I believe that the model should define exactly 1 type (Class) 
called "PostalAddress". Then other types (such as Person or 
Organization) may have separate attributes as follows:

Class Person {
    ...
    PostalAddress residenceAddress;
    PostalAddress officialAddress;
}

I belive it will be wrong to model it as follows:

Class Person {
    ...
    ResidenceAddress residenceAddress;
    OfficialAddress officialAddress;
}

The only way I see the second form to make sense is if there are 
differences in the attributes of a OfficialAddress and a 
ResidenceAddress. In that case I could see a base PostalAddress class be 
used by two derived OfficialAddress and a ResidenceAddress classes and 
the second form for class Person.
