<title>Address Standardizer</title>
|

<para>This is a fork of the <ulink url="http://www.pagcgeo.org/docs/html/pagc-11.html">PAGC standardizer</ulink> (original code for this portion was <ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/p/pagc/code/360/tree/branches/sew-refactor/postgresql">PAGC PostgreSQL Address Standardizer</ulink>). </para>
|
|
<para>The address standardizer is a single line address parser that takes an input address and normalizes it based on a set of rules stored in a table and helper lex and gaz tables.</para>
|
|
<para>The code is built into a single postgresql extension library called <code>address_standardizer</code> which can be installed with <code>CREATE EXTENSION address_standardizer;</code>.</para>
|
|
<para>The code for this extension can be found in the PostGIS <filename>extensions/address_standardizer</filename> and is currently self-contained.</para>
|
|
<para>For installation instructions refer to: <xref linkend="installing_pagc_address_standardizer" />.</para>
|
|
<sect1 id="Address_Standardizer_Basics"><title>How the Parser Works</title>
|
|
<para>The parser works from right to left looking first at the macro elements
|
|
for postcode, state/province, city, and then looks micro elements to determine
|
|
if we are dealing with a house number street or intersection or landmark.
|
|
It currently does not look for a country code or name, but that could be
|
|
introduced in the future.</para>

<para>This section lists the PostgreSQL table formats used by the address_standardizer for normalizing addresses. Note that these tables do not need to be named the same as what is referenced here. You can have different lex, gaz, rules tables for each country for example or for your custom geocoder. The names of these tables get passed into the address standardizer functions.
