Global Addressing Module
Global address parser stage
The Global Addressing Module now also supports parsing postal address strings into individual address elements, such as organization name, street, city, and postal code. The parser uses machine learning techniques and does not require a reference address database.

Retrieving country codes
Improve coding performance when your input addresses do not contain country information by setting up an additional instance of the Global Address Validation stage as the preliminary (first) stage in your dataflow to process and retrieve the country code for the input addresses. Select the new "World" value for the default country to use the available input address elements with additional data sources (available when you select "World" as the default country) to determine the country code. You can then send the addresses through a second Global Address Validation stage in the dataflow with the proper country code (retrieved in the preliminary stage) to validate the address to the street/house/premise level.
For more information about retrieving country codes using "World" as the default country code along with a multi-Global Address Validation stage dataflow, see the Global Address Validation Options section in the Spectrum™ Technology Platform Addressing Guide.
