MATTHEW VELLA MALTA'S government entities are trying to sort out an address data "situation" in which a lack of coordination between depart- ments or authorities processing citizen data do not have unified addresses. Entities in Malta have been creating and maintaining in- congruent address data in their legacy systems for many years, with data sharing between pub- lic administration departments almost inexistent. This scenario leads to the gen- eral public being requested to provide address details every time they are making use of a service. Now Malta's Address Manage- ment Unit, a subdivision of the Electoral Office, wants a solu- tion that can restore "efficiency, consistency and confidence" to the lacklustre address systems employed by the government. The Electoal Office is seeking a system that will also incorpo- rate centralised and shareable data on addresses, with geospa- tial components, to provide one official source of address infor- mation. "The 'golden thread' of this solution is the linking of data between different enti- ties through the use of a unique resource identifier (URI)," the Electoral Office said in a call to industry to provide it with the required software solution. "The primary objectives of this solution are to eliminate the cur- rent inconsistencies in address data and to provide efficient address point data including its respective geospatial data. "The solution needs to cater for the categorisation of vari- ous address types such as places of worship, cemeteries and bus shelters. Furthermore, the solu- tion needs to use current tech- nologies and be robust enough to handle large quantities of da- ta, service requests and meet the necessary security and business continuity requirements." mvella@mediatoday.com.mt Electoral office seeks to connect addresses with geographical location
