What is the ArcGIS Address Data Model?

• Template for creating a Geodatabase schema for

addresses
• Normalized Geodatabase schema for modeling
complexities of addresses
• Not a standard

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 3

Key Concepts

• Normalized data model

• Model complex relationships between features,
addresses, names, and zones

Key Concepts

• Addresses can have many ZoneSets (unique and

valid combinations of zones)

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 11

Key Concepts

• Addresses can have many

ZoneSets

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 12

Demonstration

• Feature classes in shapefiles as source data

• Load data into an address data model using the Address
Management Tool (a prototype development sample)
• Navigate the ArcGIS Address Data Model
– Find the name assigned to a street
– Find the address of an object

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 13

Address Management Tool
• Create Address Data Model based on a pre-defined
schema
• Import address data
• Export address data
• Fishbone

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 14

Creating the Geodatabase Schema

• Create a blank target Geodatabase

• Download the sample Geodatabase and its schema from
support.esri.com/DataModels
• Copy the schema from the sample Geodatabase to the
target Geodatabase
– Use XMLImport in ArcCatalog or Address Management Tool
– Remember to define your spatial reference!

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 17

Customizing the Data Model

• Add fields
• Add new addressable feature classes
– e.g. Parcel feature class
• Change the set of zones
• Modify the set of name components
• Change table and field names

Loading Data

• Load data using

– ArcCatalog, ArcMap, Geoprocessing tools, scripts, models
or
– Address Management Tool

Refining the Data Model

• Refining the data model is an iterative process

– ArcCatalog tools
– ArcMap tools
– Geoprocessing tools, scripts, models

Working with the Address Data Model

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 23

Editing in Address Data Model

• Editing Addresses
– Assign an address to a feature
– Add a name to a street
– Add a name to a set of addresses

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 24

Geocoding for Address Data Model

• Custom address locator styles for Address Data Model

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 25

Errors Visualization (Fish-bones)

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 26

Demonstration

• Editing in the ArcGIS Address Data Model

– Assign an address to a feature
– Add a name to a street
– Add a name to a set of addresses

• Geocoding
– Creating locators
– Matching addresses

• Fish-boning
– Viewing address errors

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 27

Exporting the Address Data Model

• Use of de-normalized address data might be necessary

– Legacy workflow
– Third party applications

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 28

Exporting the Address Data Model:
Considerations

• For point and polygon, data export is a table join

operation
• Additional steps for street centerlines
– Convert street attributes into left/right fields depending on the
values of the “Side” attribute
– Store alternate street names in separate sets of fields

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 29

Demonstration

• Export the normalized data in the Address Data Model

into a de-normalized feature class using the Address
Management Tool

UC 2007 Tech Sessions 30

Summary

• Use the sample Geodatabase as a template

• Customize the data model
• Load existing data
• Refine the data model
• Use it for address maintenance and geocoding

Successful Presentation Guidelines

• Remember your target audience

• Keep your slides uncluttered and to the point
– Only use a key phrase or a few words to reinforce your point
– 3-7 bullet points per page
– 1-5 words per bullet point
• Use several title slides for each section
– Make it clear where you are going
• Avoid too much animation
– Keep it simple
