Address
opda:Address Address
Summary
Socially-recognised locator constructed by an authority (Royal Mail / OS AddressBase / HMLR / INSPIRE) and persisting as a record-entity in that authority’s stewardship. [Substance Kind; UFO Substance Kind / DOLCE NonPhysicalEndurant — Searle 1995 institutional fact grounding]. Identity criterion holds over five hard cases per ODR-0015 §3a: cosmetic re-format, authority-internal succession, cross-variant identity-claim never collapses, Property-side change, INSPIRE-only locatedness. Subclass of vcard:Address for structural compatibility with vCard consumers.

Attributes
| Attribute | Type | Cardinality | Required | Identity-bearing | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
addressVariant | EnumScheme:AddressVariantScheme | 1..1 | Y | Y | Required tag naming the authority and lifecycle for this Address instance (title / marketing / inspire / postal) |
Additional structural attributes (street / locality / postcode / etc.) are inherited from the vcard:Address superclass and are not re-emitted at this tier.
Relationships
This entity declares no module-local object properties. Inbound predicates: Property.hasAddress.
Identity key
Identity key = addressVariant + authority-record identifier (within the variant’s authority lifecycle). Per ODR-0015 Rule 6 the variant is the typed surface that determines the authority context against which the rest of the address record is interpreted. Cross-variant identity-claims are forbidden: a title-variant Address and an inspire-variant Address may co-refer to the same physical Property but they are distinct Address individuals. Cross-reference: Concept-tier Address IC narrative.
Constraints
addressVariantMUST be a singlestringvalue drawn fromAddressVariantScheme(Violation,AddressIdentityKeyShape)- An Address is NOT a UFO Mode (S015 Q1 commitment — distinct from Property modes / Property qualities)
