Subject: Re: [regrep] UK Government Registry Requirements
Paul,
I'm certain the way forward here is a blend of the
UPU work, CIQ and
then using CAM as the processing
engine.
The Royal Mail rep' to the UPU has ensured that the
UPU has the
right semantics and rules for UK postal
addresses. I agree some
of it is surprisingly gnarly. When they
changed to the post code
system back twenty+ years ago it was a great step
forward in
automation - but I was amazed to find out how many
times the
seamingly obvious system is actually broken by
local rules.
What we are looking at is taking those formal UPU
rules and
encoding them in CAM, and then using the content
reference
system to equate to the CIQ dictionary and UPU
dictionary.
Once we have that - we can also look at storing
the
individual element noun semantics in the registry.
I believe we have the technology means to do this
now -
all we need is resource and time to actually put it
in
place.
Thanks, DW
