Currency, completeness and precision

Currency

Updates are continuously made to the central spatial address data hub, which is managed by GeoPlace. These are used to produce the AddressBase Core product, which is supplied on a weekly basis. An extract is taken for the creation of AddressBase, AddressBase Plus and AddressBase Premium on a 6-weekly basis.

Completeness

Quality control procedures are undertaken at all stages of production to ensure that the data is as accurate and complete as possible and conforms to the specification. These quality control checks include automated data testing against the product specification and visual checks by operators.

Precision

Coordinates for all addressable objects with each AddressBase product are published with geometry given to a precision of up to 2 decimal places for British National Grid coordinates, and up to 7 decimal places for ETRS89 coordinates.
