RE: Distinguishing between types of address (locn)

Richard,

 

Yes, I understand this, even from experience. I actually happen to live in a house that has entrances on both sides of the block in two parallel streets.

 

I was just wondering whether Pano’s question had to do with *two different places* associated with a legal entity, e.g. registered versus operating address. If I misunderstood Pano’s question, I apologise for creating confusion.

Re: I don't understand how one site (=physical location) can have two different addresses, one the registration address and one the postal address.

 

An addressable object may have more than one valid address, even for the same class of address (e.g. physical addresses). It's a common scenario. A simple case is where a property is situated on the corner of two addressed thoroughfares. It's important to identify and relate such addresses. (alias addresses)

 

The semantics and models in the new ISO standard focus on sorting these kinds of things, and scopes numerous other complexities and nuances about addressing. It's easy to underestimate the complexities that arise with addresses. Helpfully, we now have a concept model to guide us.

I don't understand how one site (=physical location) can have two different addresses, one the registration address and one the postal address.
Or is the issue that an *organisation* can have a postal address that is different from the registration address? If that is the issue, I'd argue that two different addresses are associated with different physical locations. E.g. the physical location of a post office box is at the post office, not at the location where the organisation has its office.
