Synopsis
An address is much more than a representation of a prop
erty: when included as part of a nation's infrastructure\, an address help
s to provide social and legal identity. By providing a fundamental knowled
ge base to inform decision making and action\, addresses help to develop\,
implement and support other critical national policies such as:
Go
vernance
Urban development and management
Migration and social integ
ration
Security
Economy and commerce
Environmental sustainability
\, risk and disaster management
Addressing the world: an address for ev
eryone co-ordinated by the Universal Postal Union documents in detail the
problems that poor address infrastructure and address interoperability pos
e. As part of the solution this white paper neatly summarises the state of
the art in addressing and advocates approaches to improve addressing aime
d at nation states. Key to this is the assumption that an address requires
a road network\, a street name and a house number. This national address
infrastructure can be a significant barrier to implementation and can star
kly highlight the division between urban and rural communities. However\,
technology is disrupting this status-quo and the 21st Century will see sig
nificant change in address infrastructure.
This presentation examin
es the assumption that credible addresses require an underlying address in
frastructure. By removing the need for address infrastucture (and conflati
on of national address systems) it is possible to define the characteristi
cs of a global address framework. Inevitably any global address framework
will take advantage of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioni
ng (such as GPS). However\, the characteristics of how this is implemented
will have significant implications in their re-use scenarios. We will dis
cuss the key characteristics of a global address framework in terms of imp
act.

About the speake
r
Ant is as an interdisciplinarian working at the interfaces of
geo-science\, heritage\, smart-cities\, remote sensing\, plant and soil sc
ience\, computing and knowledge engineering. He has undertaken research in
a number of contrasting fields (humanities\, social science and science)
and is committed to approaches that maximize academic\, industry\, policy
and public impact. Project work include:
large scale data integrati
on in the utility sector (the award winning UK Water Industry Research pro
jects Mapping the Underworld and VISTA)\,
heritage remote sensing (land
scape programmes in India and Syria and hyperspectral imaging in the UK) a
nd
digital transformation programmes (addressing frameworks at United U
tilities and land administration domain modelling at Registers of Scotland
).
He is a passionate advocate of Open Science and sees this as a way t
o increase the impact of science in society. Since 2015 Ant has provided G
IScience\, Knowledge Engineering and Data Analytics consultancy services.
He is currently undertaking a conceptual redesign of Scotland's Land Regis
ter. Ant is still research active: he was the lead author on an urban ener
gy modelling paper published in 2018 and is a co-author on a recently subm
itted subsurface utility detection paper. He is a father. He juggles.
