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 ( 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.

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)

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

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
