business, that is to say, the semantics, of the address.

The Address's business lifecycle (source: MAG)
This UML model is simple to read, providing that the
principles of its notation have already been mastered.
For example, when the address is in the business
state “To be checked”, it is possible to trigger an operation of
verification of the address “check/check ()” which determines
the quality of the address and consequently assigns it a
business state. The address then switches to the state
“valid”, “to be completed”, or “Return To Sender (RTS)” with
a substate making it possible to define in detail the cause of
the RTS: “Undeliverable”, “Insufficient Address” or “No such
number”.
