Re: [dxwg] vCard and FOAF? (#955)

Coming at this from the ISO 19115 perspective, it looks like this:
pointOfContact is a role filled by an agent (ResponsibleParty), who might be a person, a role-filler in an organization (e.g. 'metadata curator') or simply an organization. 
Persons, Role-fillers and organizations (agents or ResponsibleParties) have contactInformation (ContactInfo);  telephone numbers or e-mails seem to be most useful, but they become stale--good metadata requires maintenance. 
In this discussion, it seems that 'contactPoint' is being interpreted variously as 'pointOfContact' role or as 'contactInformation'.  
Per @ltrani 's suggestion above, it seems that schema.org provides a clearer disambiguation of these concepts than foaf or vcard
