Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure pertains to collecting various different ways of designating a destination address or physical location (Source Databases A,B,C), and associating them to a single, canonical form (Canonical Database, FIG. 2). The canonical form can be conveniently used to route an item for delivery (process FIG. 3). The present disclosure solved the problem where there is either no “proper” address or there are a plurality of them (e.g. different addresses for the same house) (FIG. 1). Preferably, a meta-database (FIG. 5) links across the multiple source databases (A,B,C) and logically connects their contents to the canonical address database, wherein each delivery location has a single associated canonical address designator (532), and each address designator in each source database (536, 538) that refers to that delivery point is linked by the meta-database to that associated canonical designator.
