在本文中，人们关注的是越来越多的方法可用于人口和社会经济数据的地理参考。此类数据的大多数常规用户倾向于将地理参考视为一个透明的过程，不会质疑地理参考方法可能对实质性应用产生的影响。在本文中，四个层次的地理分辨率在英格兰和威尔士被认为是最详细的人口普查地理和个人财产的位置之间，并探讨了通过现有的数据产品相结合的混合地理参考的潜力。以南威尔士卡迪夫的一个研究区为例，探讨了主要数据产品之间的相互关系，并参考了基本住户数和发病率数据。在这些实验的基础上，重新考虑使用混合地理参考系统，突出潜在的应用程序以及数据标准，保密性和可比性的问题。
In this paper the concern is with the increasing number of methods which are available for the georeferencing of population and socioeconomic data. The majority of routine users of such data will tend to treat georeferencing of a transparent process, and will not question the impacts which georeferencing methods may have on substantive applications. In this paper four levels of geographical resolution in England and Wales are considered, between the most detailed census geography and individual property locations, and the potential for the creation of hybrid georeferences by the combination of existing data products is explored. With examples from a study area in Cardiff, South Wales, the interrelationship of the major data products is explored, with reference to basic household counts and incidence data. On the basis of these experiments, the use of hybrid georeferencing systems is reconsidered, highlighting potential applications as well as problems of data standards, confidentiality, and comparability.
