Street Addressing – is it good enough?
Evolved over 40
years
Property-based
Culminating in G-
NAF, does an ‘OK’
job
Evolving Requirements
Enable Point-to-Point navigation, including indoor & 3D
Greater resolution & coverage than property addresses
Trusted
Easily Communicated
Timely Updates
Ubiquitously Available (underpinning the Digital Economy)

‘Traditional’ (G-NAF) vs. reality
G-NAF: How we
think it works

How the public think it works

works

Systemic Issues with G-NAF
Cost-inefficient
Duplication of effort, inconsistencies, and
ambiguities
Doesn’t support emerging requirements and
use-cases
Structurally unable to provide required currency levels
Non property-based locations
Impossible or cumbersome for citizen updates
“Location” or
“Address”?

By the year 2020…
Communicating Location, not just Addresses
Using descriptive labels of a place in 3D Space & Time
Captured, Maintained and Shared by the Community
Confidence in the data comes from transparency and
provenance.
Government’s role is that of a facilitator, not a creator
Disruptive Approach….
Technology
Standards-based & vendor
agnostic
Federated
Open Web Service APIs
Role of Government
Facilitate and Enable
Minimal Required
Infrastructure
Intervene where there is
Market Failure
People
Crowd-sourced content and
updates
Data
Transparent
High-Resolution
Beyond Properties only
A Series of (Collaborative) Experiments
Blue Sky?
Summary
G-NAF is a great achievement!
Struggles to meet 21st century requirements
Timeliness
Resolution
Citizen updates
Systemic Issues require disruptive approach
Build on G-NAF
Crowd Source content
Leverage emerging innovations (e.g. AddEx, What3Words, Geepers, ….)
