Quality Control for the Development of the Bruneian Geocoded Address Database

摘要

The government of Brunei currently is implementing a spatially enabling government that requires a national geocoded address database as a key building block because a geocoded address database is essential for geoinformation services and location-based services. This paper presents a conceptual model and a framework for Brunei's geocoded address database by investigating the interrelationship among the existing geoinformation resources such as text-based address files, digital cadastral databases, and topographic maps, i.e., the proposed national geocoded address database utilizes reusable components of existing infrastructure. Integrating a reliable dataset to the national geocoded address database using common keys and having an additional attribute as a status flag are the main methods for our framework. We show that the framework is practical for Brunei's spatially enabling government but impacted by quality issues identified during the development of the framework that are partially solved by using a reference dataset.
