Usage Advice
Use when
- Use for a post-office-box designation that stands in place of, or alongside, a street line in the surface form of an address.
Avoid when
- Avoid using it for a street line (
gmeow:streetAddress) or a suite within a building (gmeow:extendedAddress); a PO box is a delivery receptacle, not a premises.
How to use
- Carry the box designation as written; it inherits the address's personal sensitivity and coarsens with it under a public projection.
Examples
- ex:office
gmeow:postOfficeBox"PO Box 217".
