  Address (geography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An address is a code and abstract concept expressing the fixed location of a home, business or other building on the earth's surface.
In cities with Cartesian-coordinate-based addressing systems, the streets that form the north-south and east-west dividing lines constitute the x and y axes of a Cartesian coordinate plane and thus divide the city into quadrants.
Postal codes are a relatively recent development in addressing, designed to speed the sorting and processing of mail by assigning unique numeric or alphanumeric codes to each geographical locality.

 Postal code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A postal code is a series of letters and/or digits appended to a postal address for the purpose of sorting mail.
Although postal codes are usually assigned to geographical areas, sometimes this is not the case: special codes may be assigned to institutions with large volumes of post, such as government agencies and large commercial companies.
Dublin, Ireland still uses postal district numbers, as postal codes are not used in the country at all.

 Cover Pages: Universal Postal Union Publishes Approved International Address Standard UPU S42-1.
Current approaches to address maintenance typically store composite address lines and cannot always make those key distinctions correctly because they require an additional step of parsing the address elements and mapping them to the database fields, which can fail if there are extraneous, misplaced or ambiguous elements.
Postal address components: [as described in Section 5] the standard defines the decomposition of a postal address specification into segments, constructs and elements...
More specifically, addresses are used to reference and uniquely identify particular points of interest, to access and deliver to specific locations, and as a means for positioning geographic data based on location.

 [No title]
That’s understandable when you consider that the address serves as the means by which a letter originating with person A finds its way to the home or office of person B. The mailing industry, particularly at this point in its history, appreciates the need for accurate addressing.
By changing the whole method by which address management software companies are provided access to address change information, the USPS is about to transform the entire address cleansing scheme from a relatively open process to one that will be essentially closed to competition and innovation.
Under the NCOA program, NCOA licensees had a strong incentive to improve their address matching algorithms to afford mailers the tools they needed not only to identify changes of address but also to fulfill all the other requirements that are a part of modern direct mail targeted marketing.

 Postal Address
The Postal Address schema attempts to create a generalized container that will allow business processes to pass address information reliably and completely, and in a format that can be efficiently processed.
To this end, the container is to be designed to clearly house the various sections that make up a postal address as it is used from country to country, while allowing the country code to indicate to the business process how the address is to be formatted, according to local postal rules.
The format is inverted – postal code and municipality are on the first lines, followed by the street address and finally by the recipient.

 Address Management Guide - Postal Address Software
Address Management is the process of ensuring that the address information held by an organisation is as accurate as possible and, through the availability of accurate addresses, that communication with its clients or customers is as efficient as possible.
The process of Address Management covers the range of tasks associated with managing address data, from capturing the data in the first place, through the maintenance of the accuracy of the address record to the elimination of outdated information.
Address data is not static: people move, houses are built or demolished and Royal Mail have a rolling programme of changes to the Postcode system to make it more efficient.

 FRANK'S COMPULSIVE GUIDE TO POSTAL ADDRESSES
It should also be noted that addressing guidelines are incidental to the UPU's primary mission, which is creating standards for the description of postal addresses (that is, defining and naming the elements), not for their rendition, which is left to each country.
Addressing guidelines for business mail are a bit unusual: Upper and lower case may be used (but the first letter of each address line must be upper case); province names, district, regions and nearby cities should not be used in the address; post codes must be three to six spaces right of the city name.
Postal addresses that appear in printed matter, databases, and on the Web can be found in all three formats.

 Postal Information for Japan
If addresses are written in Japanese, they start with the postal code, followed by the prefecture, city and subarea(s), and end with the recipient's name.
If addresses are written in English, they start with the recipient's name and end with the prefecture and postal code.
Note that, like all Japanese texts, addresses can also be written in vertical columns from the right to the left instead in horizontal rows.

But seven of these were from residents of Scaynes Hill, and others appear to live in roads right on the boundary – where for example people on one side of the road are classified for electoral purposes as living in Lindfield but their neighbours opposite vote in Haywards Heath.
We have already made the change to our Postcode Address File (the database on which we store and maintain postal addresses for the UK) and products produced from the file after January will include these details.
Mr Toime gave us a full opportunity to explain why we considered Lindfield's inclusion in our addresses to be essential, to hear about the problems and frustrations we have experienced over many years, and why we refused to undertake a ballot of the whole village in accordance with the Code of Practice.

 International Address Formats (Postal/Mailing Addresses) and Other International Mailing Information
The recipient address should be at least 40 mm from the top of an envelope, possibly should extend no more than 140 mm from the envelope's right edge, should be at least 15mm from the envelope's right edge, and should be surrounded on the right and left by blank zones at least 15mm wide.
Many Asian countries internally use an address format in which the recipient is at the bottom and the rest of the address is in the reverse of the typical Western format.
Specifically, addresses within some Eastern European and Asian countries are most often written in an order largely reversed from the typical Western order; but when mailing from a Western country it would be a good idea to write the country name at the bottom and a conventional Western order then becomes quite acceptable.
