If u have a class person, do u add a property adress, phoneNumber in
this class or is it better to add for exemple a class home with in
adress, phoneNumber, etc...
 
Usecase,

Just as you want.

You can create a collection of phonenumbers or you can set them side by
side. If it is for a database, than I will opt probably for side by side
(just because that is easier to maintenance) although I am in doubt with the
growing type of types of phonenumbers.

If it is in a class than I will sure make a collection from it with in that
a class the properties

Type of phonenumber
phonenumber

This depends on your applcication's uses of the class. If it is a simple
address book then probably yes. If you are coding the game "The Sims" then
probably no.

As others have mentioned, this depends on the circumstances. Maybe it's
better to support multiple addresses per person (for example in a property
of a collection type which supports adding and removing contact details),
and each contact information object supports setting a role (home address,
work address, secondary home address, or similar).

what is exactly a role ? (some properties) ?

Yes, a property, either of an enumeration or of another type like string or
certain classes if the range is not known at compile time.
