Abstract
The document describes a mapping of the vCard specification (RFC6350) to RDF/OWL. The goal is to promote the use of vCard for the description of people and organisations utilising semantic web techniques and allowing compatibility with traditional vCard implementations.
Status of This Document

This document was published by the Semantic Web Interest Group as an Interest Group Note. If you wish to make comments regarding this document, please send them to semantic-web@w3.org (subscribe, archives).
This document updates the W3C Member Submission on vCard RDF [VCARD-MEMBER] to align with the new semantics of IETF RFC6350 [RFC6350] as developed by the IETF vCard Working Group. Note that RFC6350 obsoletes the previous RFC2426 [RF2426] that the W3 Member Submission was based on.
Publication as an Interest Group Note does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

1. Overview
vCard is a specification developed by the IETF for the description of people and organisations. Recently, vCard has been significantly updated to Version 4 as documented in [RFC6350]. Typically, vCard objects are encoded in its own defined text-based syntax or XML renderings.
The objective of this document is to provide an equivalent representation of vCard utilizing the Semantic Web representations of RDF/OWL. The goal is to allow compatible representations between RFC6350 and this vCard Ontololgy.
Previous vCard ontologies, such as the W3C Member Submission on Representing vCard Objects in RDF [VCARD-MEMBER] covered vCard version 3.0 as defined in RFC2426 [RFC2426]. RFC2426 has been obsoleted by RFC6350 and it is recommeded that this vCard Ontology be used for any vCard semantic representations. RFC6350 has introduced many additional changes such as new structures and properties (for example, Kind, Gender, Language, Anniversary, Calendaring attributes), additional parameters, and removed features (for example, some Address types, inline vCards, Label). See Appendix A of [RFC6350] for complete details.
The current vCard Ontology (See Section 4) has continued to use the
http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns# namespace URI that was used by the previous W3C Member Submission
on Representing vCard Objects in RDF [VCARD-MEMBER].
This will support backwards compatibility. Please note some of the
equivalent/deprecated terms from the previous ontology in Section 2.12.
In addition, this namespace URI will also serve the JSON-LD context.
The vCard specifications have a long history and were first proposed in 1995 and then standardized by the IETF in 1998. Since then, new vocabularies, such as the FOAF Vocabulary Specification (2005), and the The Organisation Ontology (2013) have appeared. The vCard Ontology has also focused on describing people and organisations, including location information and groups of such entities. The FOAF ontology focuses more on the relationships between people, agents, things and social web entities, and the ORG ontology focuses on organizational structures, roles, and activities. There are some overlaps between the three ontologies, but they can provide useful vocabularies individually, and also can provided enhanced information when used collaboratively.
2. Mapping
In order to create the OWL ontology mapping from RFC6350, some changes and enhancements are required to reflect and support RDF/OWL features, linked data principles, and support ontology reuse. No semantics are changed in the mapping from RFC6350 to the vCard Ontology. All the data types defined in RFC6350 are fully supported as XML Schema dataypes.
The model informing the mapping from RFC6350 to OWL has been to
create OWL object properties for all things that would typically be
resources (e.g. identified with a URI) and OWL data properties for all
things
that would typically be literals (e.g. strings and dates). The model
includes naming all the object properties with a "hasX" name pattern,
and the data properties with just the "x" name pattern. However, in
some circumstances (see examples in Property Relation Mechanisms) the
data property may use its equivalent object property to support
vCard's property parameters.
All versions of vCard supported additional property parameters that could be used with any of the descriptive properties. For example the sort-string and geography property parameters could be associated with any of the vCard properties to provide further meta-information. To support vCard's property parameters, a new object property (hasValue) and data property (value) have been defined that relates both the property and parameter to the vCard kind.
Consider the following simple example that only includes direct property relationships:
<vcard:Individual rdf:about="http://example.com/me/corky">
<vcard:fn>Corky Crystal</vcard:fn>
<vcard:nickname>Corks</vcard:nickname>
<vcard:hasEmail rdf:resource="mailto:corky@example.com"/>
</vcard:Individual>
If we wanted to add a sort-as property parameter to the nickname (data) property and a type property parameter (to indicate a home email address) to the hasEmail (object) property, then we need to use the hasNickname object property with the value data property and the hasValue object property with the hasEmail object property to capture these n-ary relationships, as shown below:
<vcard:Individual rdf:about="http://example.com/me/corky">
<vcard:fn>Corky Crystal</vcard:fn>
<vcard:hasNickname rdf:parseType="Resource">
<vcard:value>Corks</vcard:value>
<vcard:sort-string>cork</vcard:sort-string>
</vcard:hasNickname>
<vcard:hasEmail rdf:parseType="Resource">
<vcard:hasValue rdf:resource="mailto:corky@example.com"/>
<rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2006/vcard/ns#Home"/>
</vcard:hasEmail>
</vcard:Individual>
In previous vCard/RDF specifications, the use of rdf:value was recommended to support vCard property parameters. The use of rdf:value is now deprecated in favour of the above mechanism. Additionally, this enables the current vCard Ontology to support OWL-DL.
The following sections outlines the mapping from RFC6350 to the vCard Ontology showing both the n-ary Relation and Direct properties.

A. Change History
Changes since Previous Version (Working Draft 24 Sept 2013)
- Updated the examples of RDFa, Turtle and JSON-LD in section 3 (vcard:hasValue has a literal value which should be a URI as an ObjectProperty)
- Updated JSON text and link to JSON-LD schema at Namespace URI
- Added lang (en) to all labels and comments also add a rdfs:definedBy pointing the ontology itself to every concept
- Removed the deprecated statements, added comment that they have consistently named equivalents, along with equivalentProperty/equivalentClass axioms (only deprecate concpets no longer in RFC6350)
- Added gYear to range for birthdate and anniversary.
