1 UPUAddressing Conference including S42 Recognition Ceremony Berne, Switzerland, 9 November 2010 presented by Antony Cooper acooper@csir.co.za Convenor: Working Group 7, Information Communities,, ISO/TC211 Built Environment Unit, CSIR, Pretoria, South Africa Serena Coetzee scoetzee@cs.up.ac.za Project leader: Department of Computer Science, University of Pretoria, South Africa The Addressing project by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) by Serena Coetzee scoetzee@cs.up.ac.za at Addressing the Future, First European Address Conference, 15 June 2010, Brussels, Belgium

2 Overview International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Role players and current status 2

3 ISO International organization for standardization ISO from isos(greek) meaning equal Standards are developed by consensus 162 countries World's largest developer and publisher of international standards Examples ISO 9000 series on Quality management systems ISO series on Environmental management 3

4 ISO/TC 211 ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/geomatics Standardization in the field of digital geographic information. This work aims to establish a structured set of standards for information concerning objects or phenomena that are directly or indirectly associated with a location relative to the Earth. These standards may specify, for geographic information, methods, tools and services for datamanagement (including definition and description), acquiring, processing, analyzing, accessing, presenting and transferring such data in digital/electronic form between different users, systems and locations. The work shall link to appropriate standards for information technology and data where possible, and provide a frameworkfor the development of sector-specific applications using geographic data. 4

5 ISO/TC 211 ISO/TC 211 Participating members (32) Australia (SA) Finland (SFS) Morocco (SNIMA) Republic of Serbia (ISS) Austria (ON) France (AFNOR) Netherlands (NEN) South Africa (SABS) Belgium (NBN) Germany (DIN) New Zealand (SNZ) Spain (AENOR) Canada(SCC) Hungary (MSZT) Norway (SN) Sweden (SIS) People's Republic of China (SAC) Italy (UNI) - (UNINFO) Peru (INDECOPI) Switzerland (SNV) Czech Republic Japan (JISC) Portugal (IPQ) Thailand (TISI (UNMZ) Denmark (DS) Republic of Korea (KATS) Russian Federation (GOST R) United Kingdom (BSI) Ecuador (INEN) Malaysia (DSM Saudi Arabia (SASO) USA (ANSI) 5

(OGC) United Nations Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN) Universal Postal Union etc. 7

8 ISO/TC 211 ISO/TC 211 Internal liaison committees (15) ISO/TC 154, Processes, data elements and documents in commerce, industry and administration ISO/TC 171, Document management application ISO/TC 184/SC4, Industrial Data ISO/TC 204, Intelligent transport systems ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 32, Data Management and Interchange etc. Other ISO/TC 211 liaison organizations(5) CEN/TC 287, Geographic Information CEN/TC 278, Road Transport and Traffic Telematics CEN/ISSS, Workshop on Metadata for Multimedia Information Dublin Core etc. 8

9 Background ISO Workshop on address standards Considering the issues related to an international address standard 25 May 2008 National Survey and Cadastre, Copenhagen, Denmark WG 7 of ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/geomatics 11 presentations from different countries, organizations: Association for Geographic Information (AGI), Australia, Denmark, INSPIRE, ISO/TC 211, Japan, South Africa, Universal Postal Union (UPU), United States Proceedings of the workshop 9

10 Preliminary work (stage 0) on addressing Objectives: 1. Investigate and formulate requirementsin relation to addressing. 2. Make recommendationson whether standards should be developed and if so, how this should be done. 10

11 NOTto write an address standard! Get stakeholders around table Review existing standards 1. Concepts and terminology 2. Address encoding, rendering and aliases 3. Address data quality 4. Address assignment schemes Addressing standardization requirements? 11

12 Diversity of address types 12

13 Diversity of address uses Mail Forms Census Deliveries Bank account Municipal services Utilities Finding friends etc. Emergency response 13

14 Benefits of standardization Economy Society Governance 14

15 Today Same fields for all countries No space for building names, e.g. South Africa? How to enter addresses based on blocks and boundaries, e.g. Japan? No address verification 15

16 An international standard Depending on the country, the text boxes change More than one address type per country Real-time address verification before check-out 16

17 Address standard role players No Geographic information - ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/ ISO/TC 154, Processes, data elements and Geomatics documents in commerce, industry and administration (also UN/CEFACT) Universal Postal Union (UPU) UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (GEGN) UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) INSPIRE (EURADIN) Developed countries World Bank Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) MoU Management Group (MoU/MG): ISO, IEC, ITU, UN/EC Europe UPU-ISO contact committee Emergency response organizations Developing countries World Health Organization (WHO) 17

18 Address standards International Regional National etc. 18

19 How standards facilitate address interoperability Addressing system How addresses are allocated in the real world Terminology Terms and definitions describing the addressing system and/or concepts Conceptual model that describes addresses Meaning of concepts and relationships between them Typically, a combination of components or elements Often comprising a hierarchy Address classifications (address types) 19

20 How standards facilitate address interoperability Address-specific metadata Custodian, lifespan, status, etc For use, exchange and maintenance of address data Encoding of the conceptual data model Format for data files or electronic messages Address data maintenance Address data quality management, address life cycles, address aliases, etc Specifications for the rendering of addresses For display on mail items, forms, maps, etc 20

21 ISO 19160,, Addressing Methodology Review address standards Review address standards Assess international standardization requirements Propose international standardization requirements 21

22 ISO Recommendations 1. ISO Standard: Addressing reference model Terms and definitions Conceptual model (UML) Ensure mapping from one implementation to another is possible Creation and maintenance of address datasets 2. Implementations of the addressing reference model May include Addressing schema based on the reference model How to create and maintain a dataset based on this schema Examples Country-specific (e.g. SANS 1883) Region-specific (e.g. INSPIRE) An instance of the implementation is An address (reference) dataset A specific address data record 3. Encodings of implementations ISO Postal (e.g. UPU) For electronic business (e.g. OASIS) Not ISO

23 ISO Recommendations 4. Address data quality How to measure and ensure address data quality 5. Addressing good practices For addressing schemes/systems How to assign address numbers Street name and place name signs 6. Language to describe address rendering Mail pieces, forms, labels on maps, etc. 7. Language to describe address grammar??? For parsing: geocoding, validation

24 Draft review summary (report) Finalize draft in Australia, December 2010 Distribute for comments Review/address comments in Netherlands, May 2011 Conclude project in 2011 THEN: new work item proposals
