Global Address

A global direct marketing company has hired you to be their data warehouse data modeler. You need to model one of their most important subject areas: Address.

You know the following:

• Some countries have no postal codes.
• The scope is mailing address. Therefore, concepts such as longitude/latitude, GIS, etc., are outside the scope.
• You would like to avoid or minimize the use of any abstract structures, such as Location or Location Component.

So what would your model look like?
