Along those lines is RFC 6352 CardDAV ( 
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6352 ):

defines the notion of `addressbook`, so if there carddav-rdf (similar to 
vcard-rdf), that might carry some mileage by reusing what's already out 
there, implemented, etc.

Worth also mentioning that CardDAV's Address Book Data Model's is about 
a "collection" containing a number of resources (which c/would be 
individual vCards). This is analogous to the common collection/container 
notion as used in LDP, AS2, SIOC etc.
