Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 8 Register of Addresses (1)... is the Austrian central address database, in which - each address - with an unambiguous key (address code) and - standard attributes - is stored with a clear standardized model of data maintenance Authenticity - each address is correctly updated by the only competent and responsible institution, the municipality Availability - each address is available, updated and centrally serviced via Web-Services or Application Service Providing

9. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 9 Register of Addresses (2) is the authentic database for economy and administration with spatial reference - each address is available, not only maintained and centrally serviced, but even geocoded and spatial referenced with Geo Basic Data of BEV the DKM (Digital Cadastral Map) the DOP (Digital Orthophoto) the ÖK 50 (Austrian Topographic Map 1:50.000) for commercial use – clear licence policy in the Standard Price List for BEV-Geodata

10. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 10 Register of Addresses - History In Austria a Basic Census was taken every 10 years (the last one in 2001) maintaining the addresses, in order of a governmental requirement the next census will have to be based on central databases. In the year 2004 a new and common Register of Addresses was established. Preliminary work (municipality – STAT – BEV since 1998): comparison of street names (109.000 names) comparison of addresses (3,6 Mill records ) each address was matched to one or more parcels All buildings were referenced to one or more addresses.

11. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 11 Advantages of a Register of Addresses (1) for a Citizen - for the Public the single address is public free request for everyone via Web for a single “correct” address with attributes and georeference - using eGA for the Municipality each address has to be updated only once by the municipality in all federal databases (basic data 2001) basic georeferencing has been carried out using the Digital Cadastral Map (DKM)

12. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 12 Advantages of a Register of Addresses (2) for the federal provinces and the republic the register of addresses is the base of all data connected with addresses of the federal administration Austrian-wide homogeneous georeference for: –disaster- and risk-management –administration –reduction of costs through – avoidance of redundant maintenance storage of the keys of addresses instead of the wholeaddresses together with the company data ….

13. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 13 Advantages of a Register of Addresses (3) All these advantages are the base for addressing in e-Government. A second kind of addressing is “electronic addressing” described and regulated in the e-Government Act

15. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 15 Austrian-wide „Keys“ (1) Addresscode each official address, appointed by the community, gets an Austrian-wide unambiguous code Subcode each building, situated on an „Addresscode“, gets a subcode Addressnumber Addresscode + Subcode  Addressnumber Object Number additional - each object has one unique objectcode

16. Address-Solution for Austrian Administration Dipl.-Ing. Rupert Kugler, Austria Page 16 Austrian-wide „Keys“ (2) this means – an object has one unique object number at least one adressnumber –but if the parcel has more addresses, the object on the parcel has more adressnumbers –one of them is the “Main Adress” –the relation is always the object number
