Contacts represent people or companies that you deal with in the daily activity of your business. Use the contact record to create, modify, or delete contacts and associate a contact to a parent record. For information about working with this record in the UI, see Contacts.
The contact record is defined in the listRel (relationship) XSD.

Usage Notes
Working with Contact Sublists
The SOAP Schema Browser includes all sublists (lists) associated with the contact record. See the following information for usage notes regarding specific contact lists. Note that usage notes are not provided for every list type.
AddressbookList
The addressBookList field is a list field that lets you provide multiple addresses for a contact. These fields are all mapped to the Address tab in the UI.
When you work with the addressbookList in the 2009.2 endpoint and beyond, be sure to use internalId as the key. Do not use label. For the 2009.1 and lower endpoints, the addressbookList is not a keyed sublist, but you can use label to identify records.
