Open publisher page 3 citations

Abstract

This paper examines the role of geocodes in geographic information systems. Geocoding is a technology that efficiently indexes spatial data by converting geographic coordinates into short string. Various formats are used in geographic information systems and factors such as convenience, performance, and legacy used formats play a role in deciding which format to use. With this regard in this study, we overview the main geocoding systems and outlined their main characteristics. As a result, the geocoding systems are categorized into few categories to facilitate the process of choosing the proper geocoding systems to be used in the geographic information systems.
