Hi Frans, Thanks for your reply. I have indeed looked at the vCard ontology, but it seems Home is the only Address type that seems to still be supported. All others are marked as deprecated. This because they were removed in RFC 6350. But I can’t find out why that is.

So if I want to express that I have a site that has a postal address and a formal registration address I need two instances for the same site?

That would be of great help indeed!
