“…The disease data contains more than 100,000 records obtained from the Shenzhen Center for Health Information (SCHI), and the company data include approximately 1,360,000 records obtained from the Market and Quality Supervision Commission of Shenzhen Municipality (SZSCJG). Figure 2 illustrates the fundamental principles of the geocoding process [26,27], which include address model building, address standardization, address matching and reference database construction. The address model explains how a single address is organized and defines the relationships between address elements.…”

Abstract:With the coming era of big data and the rapid development and widespread applications of Geographical Information Systems (GISs), geocoding technology is playing an increasingly important role in bridging the gap between non-spatial data resources and spatial data in various fields. However, Chinese geocoding faces great challenges because of the complexity of the address string format in Chinese, which contains no delimiters between Chinese words, and the poor address management resulting from the existence of multiple address authorities spread among different governmental agencies. This paper presents a geocoding service based on an optimized Chinese address matching method, including address modeling, address standardization and address matching. The address model focuses on the spatial semantics of each address element, and the address standardization process is based on an address tree model. A geocoding service application is implemented in practice using a large quantity of data from Shenzhen Municipality. More than 1,460,000 data records were used to test the geocoding service, and good matching rates were achieved with good adaptability and intelligence.

“…

Address matching is basic and essential in fields like navigation (Withanage et al, 2018) and public governance (Sun et al, 2021). The main process of address matching is to link textual address to geo-referenced data with geographic coordinates (Zhang & Yi, 2012). However, due to the complexity in the query expression, Chinese address matching can be troublesome.

Address matching is basic and essential in fields like navigation (Withanage et al., 2018) and public governance (Sun et al., 2021). The main process of address matching is to link textual address to geo-referenced data with geographic coordinates (Zhang & Yi, 2012). However, due to the complexity in the query expression, Chinese address matching can be troublesome. As can be seen in Table 1, there are multiple ways to refer to the same location in the Chinese language, causing a lot of obstacles in the Chinese address matching field.
