| Tools for this tag |
In Austria, every address has a unique numeric code, usually abbreviated "ADRCD", assigned through the official address register. This tag provides a means to link an address in OpenStreetMap to a specific address in the address register.
Do NOT use this tag for regular address tagging!
Intended usage is to provide information for quality assurance in case of exceptions. For instance, if an address has a postcode which is different from the postcode area it is in, this tag makes it easier to match and check the anomaly.
Using the tag in other cases won't hurt, but causes unnecessary work and possible inconsistencies for no benefit.
How to map
In case address attributes (including location) deviate significantly from expected values and a QA procedure reports a false positive, provide the ADRCD and a meaningful note. This will not suppress the error but make it easier for a mapper or tool to match the address to its source in the address register.
- Add
ref:AT:adrcd=*on a node, way or relation carryingaddr=*tags - Always provide a
note=*for theaddr=*to identify the nature of the anomaly
When not to to use
- If a QA tool reports a false positive and the reason is a limitation of the tool. E.g. OSM Inspector is not able to match an address to a place node if they are more than 1 km apart.
- If the false positive is due to fuzziness. E.g.
addr:street=Mayerstraßedoes not matchname=Mayer-Straße, this needs to be resolved in the tagging or through fuzzy matching.
