    A vCard is an electronic (or virtual) business card. It allows users to exchange their personal information with each other. vCards can carry directory information about the user such as name, address, telephone number. Including the users details within email messages.
    Information transferred in vCards can be automatically added to address books, and interact with any application that supports the vCard standards.

    REV
    SORT-STRING
    SOUND
    URL
    UID
