TMFC014 Location Management v1.0.1

The Location Management Component, part of the Open Digital Architecture (ODA), is used as a convenience class that allows easy reference to geographic places important to other entities, where a geographic place is an entity that can answer the question “where?” Also covers the operations to manage (create, read, delete) sites that can be associated with a customer, account, service delivery or other entities. And finally give the capabilities to retrieve /list /validate the Geographic Addresses that are named as structured textual ways of describing how to find a Property in an urban area (country properties are often defined differently).

It allows looking for worldwide addresses. It can also be used to validate geographic data, to be sure that it corresponds to a real geographic address. Finally, it can be used to look for an address by: searching an area as a start (city, town …), then zooming on the streets of this area, and finally listing all the street segments (numbers) in a street.
