MetaCarta Geographic Data Modules make up the core of MetaCarta products. A GDM is a knowledge base used to identify and disambiguate geographic references, assign latitude/longitude coordinates, and confidence scores and relevance ranking. Each MetaCarta GDM contains linguistic statistics, gazetteer data, and natural language processing (NLP) logic. 

The MetaCarta U.S. Street Address GDM is used to identify and locate United States street addresses. In addition to millions of actual street addresses, the MetaCarta U.S. Street Address GDM can interpolate between known addresses to determine the location of still more possible addresses.

The MetaCarta U.S. Street Address GDM layers on top of the MetaCarta Base GDM and adds:

• U.S. Street Geocoding for more that 100 million mail delivery points
• Global coverage from various sources including GDT
• Location information patterned references including a wide range of U.S. street address variations
