Scope
This standard covers street addresses. A street address specifics a location by reference to a specified point of postal delivery. Postal addresses specify points of postal delivery that have no definite relation to the location of the recipient, such as post office boxes, rural route boxes, etc. This definition excludes addressees, occupants, persons, or businesses. An addressee may have multiple addresses, and an address may have many occupants. For data processing purposes, address and addressee should be treated as separate entities, and defined by separate standards. The definition also excludes coordinate values. Coordinate values are an alternative way to specify location: coordinates specify locations by reference to a grid, spheroid, or geoid. Coordinates require different data items and data processing operations and, therefore, different standards. Within the context of this standard, coordinates are treated as attributes of street addresses, and, in the case of certain postal addresses, as inapplicable. The standard applies only to addresses within the United States. Finally, the standard excludes electronic addresses, such as e-mail addresses.
