In preparing for the address entry system, it would be useful to have a lot of different address types, so we know we will be able to handle all of them. If they can be listed like this, it will make complete sense for everyone: (including me :) )
999 San Nicolas Dos - House Number + Barangay (note: "Dos" is frequently replaced by "2" or "II") Magalang, Pampanga 2011 - Town, Province + postal code 99 Gen. Segundo St. - House Number + Street name Heroes Hill - Area or Subdivision Quezon City - City Rizal Street 999 - Street name + house number Barangay Lourdes - Barangay Angeles City 2009 - City + postal code Ground Floor, Manzen Bldg - Floor + Building name Santo Rosario St - Street Angeles, 2009 - City (note lack of word city) + postal code (this one i particularly annoying, as I could walk up and down the entire Sto Rosario St without ever figuring out which building it is, as building names rarely are advertised very visibly. Our db and system should ideally be able to translate this into a house number) Lot 99 Blk. 1 Road Lot 6 Phase 1 - lot number + block number + ????? + phase number Pacific Heights Subd. - subdivision Brgy. Tamayo, Calaca - barangay + area within barangay (?) Batangas City - city Lot 3 Blk 11 - lot number + block number Lipa Country Estate Bulacnin - Subdivision + I assume Bulacnin is either an area or a barangay (?) Lipa City - city Lot 18 Blk 18 Phase 3B - lot number + block number + phase number (and letter!) The Ridge Brgy. San Gregorio - subdivision name and barangay (note lack of comma) Laurel, Batangas - town, province If we can compile a list of all kinds of normal and weird addresses and their meaning, that would be great! Then we can make it as easy as possible to first of all enter them, but secondly, automatically detect them and match with an existing address in the database.
