주소모음 - How to Make Sense of Your Data
Address collection can seem like an overwhelming task. Whether you're collecting addresses for weddings, parties or holiday cards, it's crucial to have clean data.
A valid address can save businesses time and money. Invalid addresses can lead to delays in delivery of mail, additional fees, and missed opportunities. Address verification tools reduce the cost of these issues by ensuring that addresses are properly entered.
ArcGIS Solutions for State and Local Government
Address collection is essential for local governments and is an essential component of geospatial data management. However many governments have difficulties with managing authoritative address repository. They require simple workflows that aid in capturing the physical location of an address early in the process of developing it and standard map tools to inform decision-makers and the general public about the quality of their addresses, as well as tools for sharing authoritative addresses with other agencies.
Local government employees utilize Esri solutions to meet these requirements. These pre-built maps and apps are designed to work with specific workflows, making it easy for local governments of all sizes and levels of geospatial expertise to use them for better efficiency and insight.
According to Scott Oppmann, State and Local Government Solutions Team Director, Esri, solutions are classified into categories that cover "the most common needs in local and state government." Click here to view the complete list of capabilities.
Address Field Inventory, for instance, contains the following tasks that assist you in creating an address layer that is based on a list of verified sites collected via an online form. This feature layer can be used to generate USNG coordinates and a mailing address. In addition this solution allows you to divide a road at a defined point, calculate the municipal boundaries and update the characteristics of addresses in the master road name table.
Managing Address Field Operations is another Esri solution that can be used to help address authority staff collect missing or inaccurate information from both external and internal stakeholders. It lets office staff assign a task to their field workers, who utilize the address crowdsourcing tool on mobile devices to check submitted addresses and capture new addresses that are observed out in the field. This information is then inserted into the appropriate database tables for further processing and publication.
The solution allows office staff to assign tasks with the option of validating existing set of address data with the specified accuracy level. This allows them to identify errors, like duplicates or mismatched addresses, in the database. This information can be imported into the master database to improve the quality of the data and make it more accurate.
Reverse Geocode Geoprocessing tool
Reverse geocoding is a method to understand data regardless of whether you're trying to find the location of a business or just want to know which areas are most profitable. Many mobile apps, including Uber and Lyft rely on reverse-geocoding to convert raw GPS coordinates into information drivers can comprehend. Retail chains use it to analyze the habits of their customers when shopping, and urban planners can connect data on address with the density of their population to decide which areas to build public infrastructure.
Reverse Geocode is a tool that converts the location of points within a feature class into addresses. It does this by searching for the closest intersection or address based on distance. It can be used to reverse geocode one or more points or multiple points in the form of a batch. The output is well-organized and ready for integration into other tools and systems.
It supports both standard formats and custom formats for address data. This includes the standardized attributes X andY from a Point Address feature and the identifiers for POIs (Points of Interest). You can also specify the location type the matching geometry is. It could be a routing location (a side-of street location that can be used to route) or the parcel's centroid or rooftop of an address.
In addition you can also make use of the tool to build a composite locator by connecting two or more existing locators together. The resultant locator will be back to the ArcGIS World Geocoding service if it is unable to locate an address with your own personal data.
Reverse geocoding can be expensive, especially when you're working with huge quantities of coordinates. Esri offers a no-cost usage limit of 200 million requests per month. If you exceed this, you'll incur charges. You can also buy a service to convert coordinates into addresses in masse.
It's important as a final step, to verify the accuracy and completeness of any address information that you receive from customers using reverse geocoding. This can be accomplished by using an address verification API that is CASS certified, such as PostGrid. This will ensure that the addresses you use for direct mail campaigns are delivered and to your customers.
Data Assistant Add-in
The Data Assistant addin contains a set of tools that can aid you in moving data between datasets with different data structures. These tools can be used to complete a wide range of tasks, such as concatenating multiple sources into a single target field or splitting up strings into several fields to be used as targets.
To use the Data Assistant add-in, you must first install it. To do this simply click the Start button then select Control Panel, and then select Add or Remove programs. Then, search for Microsoft Data Assistant 1.0 and follow the on-screen directions to remove it.
After the Data Assistant addin is installed It can be configured to create an appropriate source/target configuration file. You can then load or change data with that file. The Data Mapping tool includes a variety of options for converting data between formats and handling special characters.

This solution provides information on how to work with the Data Assistant add-in and how to create workflows that collect and update parcel data and populate layers of community.
Data Validation Tool
A reliable address validation tool is a powerful weapon that can help businesses maintain data integrity and operational efficiencies. It ensures that the correct address is used for mail and invoices go to the right person and marketing campaigns are sent to the intended audience. When choosing a validation tool make sure you choose one that has extensive coverage of all countries and seamless integration into business processes. Consider the pricing structure and pick tools that provide a good return on investment.
When it comes to collecting addresses on handwritten forms at a retail store, through digital inputs at checkout online or through integrated data that is flowing into CRM systems, accurate initial data entry is essential in reducing shipping errors and return, ultimately boosting customer satisfaction and loyalty. This is more than using a standard postal code or ZIP code lookup; it involves a process of thorough address verification and collection.
The process begins with a sophisticated data parsing tool that breaks down an address into its distinct components, including the street name, the city, and postal code. The tool then compares these components with commercial databases to verify their accuracy. It then standardizes the address to conform to international postal standards for example, changing extended forms into standard abbreviations and capitalization.
The address is then geocoded in order to confirm its location. This is especially important for companies that are globally-based. It lets them estimate shipping costs accurately and provide transparency for customers, while minimizing the possibility of delays that are costly due to incomplete or inaccurate data. A robust geocoding API can also help businesses comply with international shipping laws and avoid issues with customs.
Once the address has been verified, it's automatically updated in CRM systems and enterprise resource planning systems to ensure that every customer interaction, shipment, or service delivery is based on accurate data. Precise data on addresses can also speed up logistics operations by simplifying procurement, logistics and service delivery processes.
