This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project proposes to create a collaborative geocoder allowing end-users to find a geographic location using a street address, add and correct road data to increase coverage and decrease errors, and share those improvements with others. The project includes development of a data-source reputation-system that manages multiple road segment data contributors. It will gather road data from consumers and others in the location-based services value-chain, augment an existing public road database, and provide road data back to the stakeholders in a more complete, more accurate and less expensive form.If successful, this project will reduce the cost of geocoding and improve accuracy and coverage. Geocoding is a pervasive activity, contributing to emergency response effectiveness, epidemiological studies and transportation planning, as well as consumer activities and travel planning. Impacts to these sectors will depend on the accuracy and coverage achieved and market penetration. Consumer travel could be rendered more efficient, emergency responsiveness more effective, epidemiological studies more accurate. Overall, reduced costs should improve productivity in these sectors as well.

这个小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目建议创建一个协作地理编码器，允许最终用户使用街道地址找到地理位置，添加和更正道路数据以增加覆盖范围并减少错误，并与其他人共享这些改进。该项目包括开发一个管理多个路段数据贡献者的数据源信誉系统。它将收集消费者和基于位置的服务价值链中其他人的道路数据，扩充现有的公共道路数据库，并以更完整、更准确和更便宜的形式向利益相关者提供道路数据。如果成功，该项目将降低地理编码的成本，并提高准确性和覆盖率。地理编码是一项无处不在的活动，有助于提高应急效率、流行病学研究和交通规划，以及消费者活动和旅行规划。对这些部门的影响将取决于所实现的准确性和覆盖面以及市场渗透率。消费者的旅行可以变得更有效率，应急反应更有效，流行病学研究更准确。总体而言，降低成本应该也会提高这些行业的生产率。
