Thanks Marc?
I think that depends a lot on on the country. For example, my address at work is?
Zone 1.08 (unit)
BBC Scotland (company name _and_ building name)
40 (building number) Pacific Drive (street)
Glasgow (locality)
G51 1DA (postal code)
My home address, on the other hand, has the form [details changed, of course]:
Flat 23 (unit)
Nonexistant Court (building name)
123 (building number) Nowhere Street (street)
Greenock (locality)
Ayrshire (region)
PA15 3BB (postal code)
So with both of these examples, it?s not obvious how you would have ?houseNumber?, ?boxNumber? and ?streetAddress? ? and it gets even *more* complicated when you have a Post Office Box number (which may be used either instead of or as well as a street address and subordinate properties).
Order is also very important in strange ways ? e.g., if your schema means rearranging the address at all and you carry that through your system, then things like credit card transactions will fail because they often depend upon the numbers appearing in a certain order.
Postal addressing is Hard?
