Inspire revision 4711 Gyldig

An address component which represents the identification of a subdivision of addresses and postal delivery points in a country, region or city for postal purposes. -- Description -- NOTE 1 The postal descriptor is specified by means of a post code and/or names of the associated post office, town or area. NOTE 2 In some countries post codes are seen as a proper geographic subdivision of the country, in other countries the post code is regarded only as an attribute that characterizes a (usually small) number of adjacent postal delivery points and addresses. NOTE 3 The postal descriptors are created and developed on the basis of postal requirements (e.g. efficient sorting, logistics, transport and distribution). Consequently, there is not often a tight relationship between the postal areas and administrative units in the same area. NOTE 4 The structure schema and formats of national postal descriptor systems are different. Sometimes (for example in the UK) the post code itself is the only information required for a valid address; in other situations both the post code and the associated name of post office or town is required. Sometimes there is a simple relationship between the code and the name; in other situations a set of postcodes are associated with a single post office or town. NOTE 5 In some countries like e.g. The Republic of Ireland, no post code system currently exists, therefore the postal descriptor is only represented by the name of the post town. EXAMPLE 1 In the UK the post code "EC4M 7DR" is sufficient, as a postal descriptor, while the related town name "London" is informative, but not necessary in the postal address. EXAMPLE 2 In Sweden all postcodes starting with "80" is related to the postal name "Gävle". Therefore in the postal descriptor "802 74 Gävle", the postcode "802 74" bears all postal necessary information, while the town name "Gävle" is extra information. EXAMPLE 3 In Denmark, outside the centre of Copenhagen, each postcode has a 1:1 relationship to one post name only: Postcode "6372" relates to the village "Bylderup-Bov". EXAMPLE 4 In Germany the lowest level of the Postal descriptor (the 5 digit Postleitzahl) often does not fall within an administrative unit (e.g. municipality). The Postleitzahl is handled completely independent from the hierarchal systematic of the addresses. In addition, some "Postleitzahlen" represent not a delivery area, but institutions with a big amount of post.

Name Type English Description
inspireId Identifier (datatype) External object identifier of the address component. -- Description -- NOTE 1 An external object identifier is a unique object identifier published by the responsible body, which may be used by external applications to reference the spatial object. The identifier is an identifier of the spatial object, not an identifier of the real-world phenomenon. NOTE 2 The primary purpose of this identifier is to enable links between various sources and the address components. EXAMPLE An address component spatial object from Denmark could carry this identifier: Namespace: DK_ADR Local identifier: 0A3F507B2AB032B8E0440003BA298018 Version identifier: 12-02-2008T10:05:01+01:00
- localId CharacterString A local identifier, assigned by the data provider. The local identifier is unique within the namespace, that is no other spatial object carries the same unique identifier. -- Description -- NOTE It is the responsibility of the data provider to guarantee uniqueness of the local identifier within the namespace.
- namespace CharacterString Namespace uniquely identifying the data source of the spatial object. -- Description -- NOTE The namespace value will be owned by the data provider of the spatial object and will be registered in the INSPIRE External Object Identifier Namespaces Register.
- versionId CharacterString The identifier of the particular version of the spatial object, with a maximum length of 25 characters. If the specification of a spatial object type with an external object identifier includes life-cycle information, the version identifier is used to distinguish between the different versions of a spatial object. Within the set of all versions of a spatial object, the version identifier is unique. -- Description -- NOTE The maximum length has been selected to allow for time stamps based on ISO 8601, for example, "2007-02-12T12:12:12+05:30" as the version identifier. NOTE 2 The property is void, if the spatial data set does not distinguish between different versions of the spatial object. It is missing, if the spatial object type does not support any life-cycle information.
alternativeIdentifier CharacterString External, thematic identifier of the address component spatial object, which enables interoperability with existing legacy systems or applications. -- Description -- NOTE Compared with a proper identifier of the address component, the alternative identifier is not necessarily persistent in the lifetime of the component spatial object. Likewise it is usually not globally unique and in general does include information on the version of the spatial object. EXAMPLE 1 National or regional sector-specific identifiers (like e.g. a number- or letter code) for administrative units, address areas (localities, villages, sub-divisions) or thoroughfare names, which are used by a number of existing legacy systems. EXAMPLE 2 In Denmark the four character municipal "road name code" (0001-9899) is only unique within the present municipality, thus if two municipalities merge, it is necessary to assign new road name codes.
beginLifespanVersion DateTime Date and time at which this version of the spatial object was inserted or changed in the spatial data set. -- Description -- NOTE This date is recorded to enable the generation of change only update files.
endLifespanVersion DateTime Date and time at which this version of the spatial object was superseded or retired in the spatial data set. -- Description -- NOTE This date is recorded primarily for those systems which "close" an entry in the spatial data set in the event of an attribute change.
status StatusValue (kodeliste) Validity of the address component within the life-cycle (version) of the address component spatial object. -- Description -- NOTE This status relates to the address component and is not a property of the object to which the address is assigned (the addressable object).
validFrom DateTime Date and time of which this version of the address component was or will be valid in the real world. -- Description -- NOTE This date and time can be set in the future for situations where an address component or a version of an address component has been decided by the appropriate authority to take effect for a future date.
validTo DateTime Date and time at which the address component ceased or will cease to exist in the real world.
postName GeographicalName One or more names created and maintained for postal purposes to identify a subdivision of addresses and postal delivery points. -- Description -- NOTE 1 Often the post name (or names) is a supplementary identification of the post office to which the associated post code belongs. For example it may be the name of the town in which the office is situated. In other situations the post name could be an independent descriptor without any post code or it could be a postal subdivision connected to a parent postal descriptor (post code and post name). NOTE 2 In some countries like e.g. Spain and The Netherlands, no post names exit therefore the postal descriptor is only represented by the post code. NOTE 3 Even though the post name is the same as the name of an administrative unit or an address area, the area covered are not necessarilythe same.
postCode CharacterString A code created and maintained for postal purposes to identify a subdivision of addresses and postal delivery points. -- Description -- NOTE 1 The structure, schema and formats of post codes are different in different countries. Often the components of the post code are hierarchical, e.g. when the first character(s) identifies the region covered by the post code and the next characters define the subdivision. NOTE 2 In some countries, e.g., The Republic of Ireland, no post codes exists therefore the postal descriptor is only represented by the post name (e.g. town name). EXAMPLE In the UK postcodes starting with W covers the Western (W1) and Paddington (W2-14) districts of the London postal district. In Sweden all postcodes starting with "80" is related to the postal name "Gävle".
