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.

Components

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

  • GeocodeAddressAUS— 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).
  • GeocodeAddressGBRThis stage has been deprecated. In its place use the Global Geocoding Module's Global Geocoding stage.. Takes an address in Great Britain and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other information.
  • GeocodeAddressGlobal—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. It does not support Australia and Great Britain.
  • Geocode Address—Takes an address located in any of the supported countries and returns the city centroid or, for some countries, postal centroid. Geocode Address World cannot geocode to the street address level.
  • Geocode Africa—Provides street-level geocoding for many African countries. It can also determine city or locality centroids, as well as postal code centroids for selected countries.
  • Geocode Middle East Provides street-level geocoding for many Middle East countries. It can also determine city or locality centroids. Middle East supports both English and Arabic character sets.
  • Geocode Latin America Provides street-level geocoding for many Latin American countries. It can also determine city or locality centroids. There is postal code coverage for selected countries.
  • GeocodeUSAddress—Takes an input address and returns latitude/longitude coordinates and other address information.
  • GNAFPIDLocationSearch—Identifies the address and latitude/longitude coordinates for a Geocoded National Address File Persistent Identifier (G-NAF PID).
  • ReverseAPNLookup—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.
  • ReverseGeocodeUSLocation—Takes as input a geocode (latitude and longitude coordinate) and returns the address of the location.
  • ReversePBKeyLookup—Takes a pbKeyTM unique identifier as input and returns all standard returns that are provided as part of address matching.
