Awesome article!
Does a street address correspond to a polygon or to a center of mass (a point)? As someone who first heard the term geocoding about two weeks ago, this strikes me as a kind of fundamental question behind this article from Goldberg, Wilson, and Knoblock.
The question has ramifications for all phases of research, from defining problems and questions, to collecting and analyzing data, and displaying results as information or knowledge. It will never converge in a single correct answer; the answer to this question has many facets. The good news about the multi-faceted question is that the technology of geocoding is increasing the attainability and usefulness of spatial data. And the tech seems to be in the phase of the curve where it is increasing faster than anyone can really track it. So with that happening, maybe we'll be able to have geocoded data as points, lines, and polygons and be able to use the most appropriate source to get the best answers to our geospatial questions of the future.
