Preparing data for geocoding
The geocoding process requires reference data that has address information stored in fields that correspond to the required elements of an address locator style. Reference data can contain point, polyline, or polygon geometry. Geocoding also requires a nonspatial table with addresses to geocode.
Getting ready
In this section, you will prepare reference data and a nonspatial table with addresses for the geocoding process.
Firstly, you will standardize the reference data according to the US Address-Dual Ranges address locator style, as shown in the following table:
|
HouseNum* |
PreDir |
PreType |
StreetName* |
SufType |
SufDir |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
- |
- |
|

The standardization process will split an address into standard fields required by a specific address locator style and will translate the address information into standard abbreviations. The US Address-Dual Ranges style considers that the odd numbers are on one side of a street and the even numbers are on the other...
