StreetName.AbbreviatedAlias.Result

Indicates the result of abbreviated alias processing. One of the following:

null

No abbreviated alias processing attempted.

B

The StreetName field contains the base street name.

L

The standardized address length is less than 31 characters so the StreetName field contains the base name.

N

No abbreviated alias found.

Y

An abbreviated alias was found for input address. The StreetName field contains the abbreviated alias.

StreetName.Alias.Type

This result code applies to U.S. addresses only.

Abbreviated

The alias is an abbreviation of the street name. For example, HARTS-NM RD is an abbreviated alias for HARTSVILLE NEW MARLBORO RD.

Changed

There has been an official street name change and the alias reflects the new name. For example if SHINGLE BROOK RD is changed to CANNING DR, then CANNING DR would be a changed alias type.

Other

The street alias is made up of other names for the street or common abbreviations of the street.

Preferred

The street alias is the locally preferred alias. For example, a street is named "South Shore Dr." because it runs along the southern shore of a lake, not because it is south of a municipal demarcation line. So, "South" is not a predirectional in this case and should not be shorted to "S". So, "South Shore Dr." would be the preferred alias.

StreetName.PreferredAlias.Result

Indicates the result of preferred alias processing. One of the following:

null

No preferred alias processing attempted.

A

Preferred alias processing was not attempted because the input address matched to an alias. Preferred alias processing is only attempted for base addresses.
