Attributes

The following table shows the attributes for ContactInformation:

Elements

The following table shows the elements for ContactInformation:

Element	Multiplicity	Type	Description
AddressLine	0 or more	string	Associates an address with the contact. AddressLine needs to contain the lines that someone would enter into a web mapping service like Google Maps to find the address on a map. That is, the value of the field needs to geocode the contact location. To include an address for the contact, use multiple occurrences of AddressLine. We expect the first use of AddressLine to be the name or organization. We expect the subsequent uses to be the street address, city, postal code, city, state (or state equivalent, optional) in the specific order and format for the country.
Directions	0 or 1	InternationalizedText	Provides directional information in addition to address information. Directions can be used to supply any additional address-related information that might appear in multiple languages.
Email	0 or more	AnnotatedString	Associates an email address with the contact. If more than one Email field is present, include annotations to let users know the purposes of each one.
Fax	0 or more	AnnotatedString	Associates a fax number with the contact. If more than one Fax field is present, include annotations to let users know the purposes of each one.
LatLng	0 or 1	LatLng	Associates optional latitude and longitude information with a contact address.
Name	0 or 1	string	Associates a name with the contact. Use this field for non-address information that can help a user contact that person or organization. For instance, "Secretary of State Office, Election Department."
Phone	0 or more	AnnotatedString	Associates a phone number with the contact. If more than one Phone field is present, include annotations to let users know the purposes of each one.
Uri	0 or more	AnnotatedUri	Associates a URI with the contact.
