+Manual Methods
+
+Addresses are a significant source of information that is used for a variety of purposes such as administrative, emergency response and marketing research, GIS and routing and navigation. The data is gathered by thousands local jurisdictions in hundreds of database and record formats and at a variety of levels of detail. These diverse data sets pose major issues for authorities when they attempt to integrate them into master addresses repositories. Address validation and cleaning tools are essential to ensure accuracy, cutting costs, and delivering the best level of service to their constituents.
+
+Iterative testing and observation of the quality of an address requires the observation of simple elements and patterns outlined by elaborate address classifications and elements. The addressing system also requires the observation and verification of spatial domains.
+
+Controlling the quality of address begins by monitoring each address element to determine its data type. Such observations are often done by hand however, automated methods are also accessible. Any anomalies resulting from this observation can be identified for further investigation and corrected as part of the overall address data cleaning process.
+
+In certain areas addresses are presented in ranges that represent a complete named street. Complete Street Name Ranges include an identifier number that represents the low end, a second number that indicates the highest end and a text component that is a hyphen if present, that denotes the number is separated by the character or  [Jujojula](https://%EC%A3%BC%EC%86%8C%EC%A3%BC%EB%9D%BC.com/) characters. Address ranges are available in Master Street Address Guides which are used by E-911 dispatching.
+
+Identifying address ranges that overlap is helpful to prevent duplication of efforts to collect and validate the same addresses. It could be that the overlapping addresses are due to similar naming conventions, or other factors. Recognizing these overlaps early during the collection process allows corrections to be made before data aggregation and validation.
+
+Address axes in an address scheme are used to indicate the boundaries of adjacent zones, for instance the quadrants (northwest northeast, southeast, and southwest). Address numbers increase moving away from the axis, so the measure checks for gaps that cross the centerline between adjacent Address Number Ranges.
