Belgian address

see fedvoc https://github.com/belgif/fedvoc

  • municipalityName
  • postCode
  • partOfMunicipalityName (Wallonia only)
  • postName (Brussels and Flanders only)
  • streetName
  • homonymAddition (Flanders only)
  • houseNumber
  • boxNumber
  • hasRepresentation

Proposal for filling in hasRepresentation: "streetname (homonymAddition), houseNumber, boxNumber postCode, municipalityName" (homonymAddition for Flemish address only if there is one, which is very rare)

International address:

see https://belgif.github.io/thematic/models/public%20organisation/index_en.html#Address

  • address area
  • address ID
  • administrative unit level 1 (country)
  • administrative unit level 2 (country/region/state)
  • full address
  • locator designator
  • locator name
  • post code
  • post name (city)
  • post office box
  • thoroughfare
