SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The FGDC
coordinates the development of the
National Spatial Data Infrastructure
(NSDI), which encompasses the
policies, standards, and procedures for
organizations to cooperatively produce
and share geospatial data. Federal
agencies that make up the FGDC
develop the NSDI in cooperation with
organizations from State, local and tribal
governments, the academic community,
and the private sector. Authority for the
FGDC is OMB Circular No. A–16
Revised on Coordination of Geographic
Information and Related Spatial Data
Activities (Revised August 19, 2002).
More information on the FGDC and the
NSDI is available at https://
www.fgdc.gov. Standards are a
foundational component of the NSDI.
Organizations often have detailed
specifications about the structure of
their address information but have not
defined the elements that constitute an
address. Knowledge of structure,
content, and quality is required to
successfully share information in a
digital environment. The United States
Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal
Address Data Standard codifies discrete
elements of address information and
provides standardized terminology and
definitions to alleviate inconsistencies
in the use of these elements and to
simplify documentation.
The United States Thoroughfare,
Landmark, and Postal Address Data
Standard applies to addresses of entities
having a spatial component. It does not
apply to addresses of entities lacking a
spatial component and specifically
excludes electronic addresses such as email addresses. It recognizes that some
organizations are prohibited by statute
from sharing addresses or other address
information, due to requirements for
confidentiality and security: Therefore,
it does not require that addresses be
shared and does not provide guidelines
for determining whether addresses can
be shared. The United States
Thoroughfare, Landmark, and Postal
PO 00000
Frm 00119
Fmt 4703

Address Data Standard places no
requirement on internal organization of
use or structure of address data:
however, its principles can be extended
to all addresses.
