Industry voice: The mandate for the use of the identifiers will increase their use and open the door for new initiatives, writes Nick Chapallaz, managing director of GeoPlace
A mandate can be about opportunities as much as obligations, as the public sector can find in the use of Unique Property Reference Numbers (UPRNs) and Unique Street Reference Numbers (USRNs) as its core addressing identifiers.
It will require an effort by any organisations that are not already using them, but there is a wide body of evidence that they provide a great asset for public authorities for making greater use of their location data to obtain insights and developing better targeted services. And this can apply beyond the public sector as other bodies come to understand the potential.
