Aside from the two services, which are designed for the purpose of being used 
by multiple clients, there are probably handful of APIs (like KDE's old 
addressbook API) intended for the same purpose but of couse not as scalable.

Aside from that there are probably a dozend or so applications that can act as 
a commandline client to addressbook data.

Sure, there are a lot of applications that deal with contact data, but most of 
them have no way of letting other applications access it other than import in 
the case of migrating away from them.

Cheers,
Kevin
