BTW, the Yahoo SearchMonkey doc does not specify a domain for vcard:adr
http://developer.yahoo.com/searchmonkey/smguide/vcard-details.html#vcard-adr
We just regenerated the original documentation ;)

4 - We define mobileTel property but vCard calls this "cell" ?
5 - We define a mobileEmail and personalEmail and workEmail
properties, but there is no such semantics in vCard?
6 - I am not clear on the unlabeledAdr, unlabeledEmail, and
unlabeledTel properties we define? Are these to capture all the
"old"
types in vCard like bbs-tel, parcel-adr etc?
And, of course, we don't capture these as rdf properties in our
ontology?
7 - How to do handle vCard's preferred type? Ie I prefer my workTel
over my homeTel?
A while back I wrote a little RDF vocab that extended the 2006 vCard
vocab. It introduces a few extra terms which I thought were useful,
mostly taken from the vCard 4.0 drafts at the time. e.g. a "lang"
property to indicate languages spoken by the person represented.
One other thing it has though is a more vCard-like way of representing
telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, etc.
Instead of:
_:me a v:VCard ;
v:fn "Alice Smith" ;
v:workTel <tel:+44-7700-900123> ;
v:mobileTel <tel:+44-7700-900123> .
It uses:
_:me a v:VCard ;
v:fn "Alice Smith" ;
v:tel [
a vx:Tel ;
rdf:value <tel:+44-7700-900123> ;
vx:usage "work" , "mobile"
] .
My primary motivation was to be able to represent the data in the hCard
microformat in a way more closely related to the type+value structure of
hCard communications devices.
It's not perfect (it breaks the "range" of the 2006 v:tel, v:email and
v:label properties; and vx:usage should probably take a non-literal
value) but perhaps some of the ideas there could be incorporated into
the merged RDF vCard. In particular it should address all of the points
above.
8 - I assume we don't wish to support Bag, Seq, Alt anymore.....but
just support rdf:list?
I don't know why we even would want to support rdf:List?
Rather than:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="#me">
<v:note>
<rdf:Bag>
<rdf:li>Foo</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Bar</rdf:li>
<rdf:li>Baz</rdf:li>
</rdf:Bag>
</v:note>
</rdf:Description>
Just use:
<rdf:Description rdf:about="#me">
<v:note>Foo</v:note>
<v:note>Bar</v:note>
<v:note>Baz</v:note>
</rdf:Description>
rdf:List only becomes especially useful when you want to indicate that
the set of values for a property is a closed set. The only useful
application I can see for it in vCard is to represent the structured
name data - i.e. I might want to have an rdf:List of my middle names, so
that people know exactly how many there are (in my case, one) and in
what order.
