## Summary ##

It's rather interesting how since the beginning of computers, computer systems have had trouble stuffing the world's addresses into an originally American based schema (ZipCode/State), with ancient protocols (Fax?!?) 

They don't fit.

Here is an example of a more capable schema that does work.


<uml>
!includeurl http://skysigal.com/_media/resources/configuration/plantuml/minimalist.txt

class Body {
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  CategoryFK:Guid
  Category:BodyCategory
  PreferredNameFK:Guid
  PreferredName:BodyName
  Names:BodyName[]
  Properties:BodyProperty[]
  Claims:BodyClaim[]
}
class BodyCategory{
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  Text:string 
}
class BodyName {
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  Type
  Name
  Prefix
  First
  Middle
  Last
  Suffix
}
class BodyProperty {
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  Key:string
  Value:string
}
class BodyClaim {
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  Authority:string
  Key:string
  Value:string
  Signature:string
}
class BodyChannel {
  Id:Guid
  State:State
  Protocol:enum  
  Address:string
  Unit:string
  Street:string
  Neighborhood:string
  City:string
  Department:string
  State:string
  PostalCode:string
  Country:string
}

Body "1" -UP- "*" BodyCategory
Body "1" -LEFT- "1-*" BodyName
Body "1" -RIGHT- "*" BodyProperty
BodyProperty -[HIDDEN]DOWN- BodyClaim
Body "1" -RIGHT- "*" BodyClaim
Body "1" -DOWN- "*" BodyChannel
</uml>


Note, obviously, one can take it further (remove enums, etc.) but you get the point.
