Ontology for addresses

I need to create an ontology for planning. I use FOAF and Time OWL to store participants and time, but I also need to save the place where the meeting takes place: address. Ontologies such as GeoNames and WGS84 Geo Positioning do not meet my goals - I cannot store the street there.

I could create it myself, but if there is an established ontology for the addresses, I would use it. I was thinking about using vCard Ontology, but it was designed for different purposes. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you know any other ontology?

I do not think that the fact that vcard was intended for another purpose should be a problem if the address parameters in vcard meet your needs.
There are some other dictionaries that cover physical addresses. note, however, that internationally, physical addresses are very difficult to standardize (see information here )

I would suggest looking at LODE
and into the future base vocabulary of the w3c location, you will find the current version (suggestion).

Also, I think the request to http://answers.semanticweb.com might give you more answers.
