I haven't used either of these myself, but they might fit your needs if 
you haven't seen them already.

FWIW, a year or two back I setup an addressbook using Fedora Directory 
Services. I found that there was a lot of variation in what fields 
different applications expected entries to reside. Some applications 
could be configured to use certain fields, others couldn't and required 
some magic trickery on the server side. I could see the advantage for an 
enterprise with thousands of addresses, using a specific set of 
corporate apps pre-configured for LDAP but it was more pain that it was 
worth for a personal addressbook. YMMV of course. :)
