Addresses and IS/GIS Implementation: Key to GIS Success

Street addresses are the key, user-friendly geospatial identifier used by everyone, but addressing processes are usually poorly organized at the local level.

This workshop will help you understand the addressing process, managing address data, and organizational challenges. It will guide you in developing a Master Address Repository that serves the needs of the entire organization.  The workshop will also review the new draft Federal Geographic Data Committee Street Address Data Standard (in review), and help you understand how the standard can help you build quality address data.

Specific topics include:

• What is an address?
• What are the types of address?
• How are addressing systems structured, and addresses assigned?
• How do you develop a Master Address Repository
• Geocoding and managing addresses in the GIS
• Organizational Issues with Addressing
• Working with the FGDC Street Address Data Standard

Intended Audience: GIS Managers, staff members who assign, maintain or use addresses. This workshop will focus on managing address workflows, address data, and use.
