Abstract
A method and system are presented for differentiating duplicate addresses within a locality. A relational database of geographical features is constructed where each geographical feature has related attributes which can be used to differentiate among multiple same-named features. Precedence hierarchies of such attributes can be created within the database where each precedence hierarchy is constructed based on a combination of user type and situational scenario information. Upon receiving a mapping destination from a user, the system may identify the input as being ambiguous. The user and situation can be analyzed in order to select the precedence hierarchy best fit to resolve the ambiguity in this particular situation. The selected hierarchy can then be traversed until an attribute is found that exists for both features and serves to distinguish between them. The attributes can be presented to the end user along with information regarding the ambiguity.
