Address register in the perspective of NSDI
Meha, Murat et al.
National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) very much relies on the quality of address information. Location addresses are perhaps the most commonly used keys for spatial information. The potential of this simple data element is enormous, because most of the private and public databases and base registers have reference to address information. Just as in other countries, the lack of unified addresses in Republic of Kosovo is representing a serious obstacle for society and economic development. The situation with road names and house numbers is not unified in all Municipalities. The need for establishing a unified Address Register is of high importance for all users in the country such as the civil register, public services, transportation, car navigation, police, security forces, fire fighters etc. This article explains the latest developments in Kosovo, in the field of address register in the perspective of NSDI. The European Commission (EC) is funding the project for supporting Kosovo Cadastral Agency in developing and establishing a unified Address Register System in Kosovo, since KCA is responsible authority for Kosovo Cadastre Land Information System (KCLIS), which has been conceived of as an integrated multi-purpose system that is composed of a number of key conceptual modules and is as a base system for NSDI in Kosovo. The objective of the project is that by the end of 2013, the Address Register System should be rolled out to all municipalities in Kosovo, the Address Register and the road database should be developed, implemented and filled with data, and routines for distribution and exchange of data with the cadastre should be in place and functioning.
