  11                         A thing of the sort “which might have a phone number”.

  14                         This class is intended as a broad category for people, organizations, and other entities which might be addressed in a social context, for example over the phone or via post.
  15                         The emphasis on sociality distinguishes this class from that of <ref target="foaf:Agent">Agents</ref>, which are defined based on their ability to perform actions.
  16                         (Many Social Entities are also Agents, but many may not be—for example, <ref target="foaf:OnlineAccount">Online Accounts</ref> are <em>used by</em> Agents rather than being Agents themselves.
  17                         Nevertheless, Online Accounts may be addressed and sent messages.)

  20                         Despite the above definitions, phone numbers in <ptr target="(SWAP-PIM)"/> are actually generally conceived as properties of <ref target="contact:ContactLocation">Contact Points</ref> rather than Social Entities proper.
