This is a URISA Certified Workshop – see urisa.org/workshops (external link).
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.
