What is Geocoding?
When talking about location intelligence, and especially location-enabling data, it's necessary to introduce the important step of geocoding. This is the process of taking address or other location information from a data record and assigning the record a geographic latitude and longitude. Once geocoding is completed, many new avenues of location analysis and visualization are possible for your data.
