- schema.org/Organization — Our industry ≈ naics/isicV4 (loosely); founded = foundingDate; member[] = member; headquarters = location (or subOrganization with a Place).
- vCard 4.0 KIND=org (RFC 6350) — Organization-as-contact. Our website/domain ≈ URL; headquarters ≈ ADR. Thinner than schema.org for industry/founded.
