Enterprise Geocoding Module

The Enterprise Geocoding Module performs address standardization, address geocoding, and postal code centroid geocoding. You can enter an address and get outputs such as geographic coordinates, which can be used for detailed spatial analysis and demographics assignment. You can also enter a geocode, a point represented by a latitude and longitude coordinate, and receive address information about the provided geocode.

Stages

Enterprise Geocoding Module consists of the following stages. The specific stages you have depend on your license.

  • Geocode Global—Takes an address in any supported country and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information. Geocode Address Global geocodes addresses only from countries you have licensed.
  • Geocode Address World—Takes an address located in any of the supported countries and returns the city centroid or, for some countries, postal centroid. Geocode World cannot geocode to the street address level.
  • Geocode US Address—Takes an input address and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other address information.
  • GNAF PID Location Search—Identifies the address and latitude/longitude coordinates for a Geocoded National Address File Persistent Identifier (G-NAF PID).
  • Reverse APN Lookup—Takes an Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) county code, and FIPS state code and returns the address of the parcel.
  • Reverse Geocode US Location—Takes as input a geocode (latitude and longitude coordinate) and returns the address of the location.
  • Reverse Geocode Global – for all countries except USA.
  • Reverse pbKey Lookup—Takes a pbKeyTM unique identifier as input and returns all standard returns that are provided as part of address matching.

Deprecated Stages

The following stages have been deprecated:

  • Geocode Address AUSUse the Global Geocoding Module's Global Geocoding stage.Takes an address in Australia and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information. It also can geocode against a Geocoded National Address File Persistent Identifier point (G-NAF PID).
  • Geocode Address GBRUse the Global Geocoding Module's Global Geocoding stage.. Takes an address in Great Britain and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information.
