Then we should have been clearer with the definitions of these properties.
Anniversary is defined as "date of marriage" - I don't think Orgs get married ;-)

I could see Role being used for an Org (eg "Saving Animals" for the RSPCA) but not clear on a Title (that would conflict with its Name)

This is interesting, as when I read the definition of ORG, it says "to specify the org name/units *associated* with the vCard"
So does "associated" mean there is some legal/governance structure between them, or is it more broader?
For example, could I put Ford Motor Company (a totally separate company) as ABC Marketing do some work for them?

(Ideally, you would have used the Related property and point to the the company vCard with TYPE="parent")

Sorry to be pedantic, but wen trying to represent in RDF/OWL, all these modelling questions arise!
