Scope: | The address details data dictionary is used to collect information pertaining to an address, which is defined as a collection of information used for describing the location of an entity, and/or details describing how the entity can be contacted. It is based on the Standards prepared by Standards Australia Subcommittee IT-027-01, Personal and Corporate Data-Representation and Management, for Committee IT-027, Data Management and Interchange to supersede AS 4590-1999. The revised AS 4590—2006 Interchange of client information standard is a result of industry concern at the numerous data interchange formats used within the information technology industry. The objective of the Standard is to provide industry with a common client data interchange standard. Wherever possible, the definitions of data elements are based on existing standards. Reference has been made to International and Australian Standards, and to standards from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. |

Guide for use: | The Address details data dictionary is one of a suite of data dictionaries based on the AS 4590—2006 Interchange of client information standard.

A table has been created to show the mapping between the data elements within the Address details data dictionary and the AS 4590—2006 Interchange of client information standard. See: Address details mapping The AS 4590—2006 Interchange of client information standard recommends using a number of components for the following address items: Primary address Components of the primary address are: Addressing within a complex Complex addresses provide for the unique identification of secondary address sites within Geocode A geocode describes the coordinates that define the position of an address point. Geocodes Note that users of latitude and longitude metadata may have different requirements. Therefore in addition to the latitude and longitude data elements using the decimal degrees representation, (based on the AS 4590 standard) two additional data elements have been created. These items use the traditional degrees, minutes and seconds representation, and are based on the AS 6709:2008 Standard representation of latitude, longitude and altitude for geographic point locations standard. |

Comments: | The addressing information interchange section of AS 4590 has been aligned with AS/NZS 4819, Geographic information—Rural and urban addressing. AS/NZS 4819 was compiled to direct authorities required to allocate physical addresses, whether they be to properties, features or facilities. This revision of AS 4590 has been extended to cater for new address provisions noted in AS/NZS 4819 and has been reviewed and amended to minimise ambiguity and maximise understanding in client data interchange.
