Related Elements
An address (
<address>) element contains a postal address and/or other contact information such as a company
or organization name. If an address is divided into lines, the lines can be preserved
using the
<addr-line> element. Typically, the
<addr-line> element holds one physical or logical line of an address, containing undifferentiated
portions of an address such as organization names, street addresses, post box numbers,
building numbers, mailstops, etc. They
are called “lines” because addresses are frequently divided onto multiple lines, and
this encoding allows that fact to be preserved. If the address is just a block of
undifferentiated text, numbers, or special characters, the entire address may be placed
inside a single
<addr-line> element.
There are several ways to tag an address:
- As one undifferentiated run of narrative text inside the <addr-line> element;
- As a series of named address elements
such as <country>, <city>, <fax>, <institution>, <institution-wrap>, <phone>, <postal-code>, <state>, <email>, etc.;
- As a series of address lines (<addr-line>), which may or may not contain, mixed with the text, any of named address elements
such as <country> just listed;
- As a mixture of named elements and address lines (<addr-line>); etc.
An address element (
<address>) does not contain any text, only lower-level address elements.
May be contained in
Text, numbers, or special characters, zero or more
