Washington Conference
October 1884International Meridian Conference
http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/scans-meridian.html
http://www.geo.ya.com/valeranet/delegados.htm
Resolutions 1 ... 4
The following resolutions were adopted by the conference:
1.That it is the opinion of this Congress that it is desirable to adopt a single prime
meridian for all nations, in place of the multiplicity of initial meridians which now
exist.
2.That the Conference proposes to the Governments here represented the adoption
of the meridian passing through the centre of the transit instrument at the
Observatory of Greenwich as the initial meridian for longitude.
3.That from this meridian longitude shall be counted in two directions up to 180
degrees, east longitude being plus and west longitude minus.
4.That the Conference proposes the adoption of a universal day for all purposes for
which it may be found convenient, and which shall not interfere with the use of local
or standard time where desirable.
Resolutions 5 ... 7
1.That this universal day is to be a mean solar day; is to begin for all the world at the
moment of mean midnight of the initial meridian, coinciding with the beginning of
the civil day and date of that meridian; and is to be counted from zero up to twenty-
four hours.
2.That the Conference expresses the hope that as soon as may be practicable the
astronomical and nautical days will be arranged everywhere to begin at midnight.
3.That the Conference expresses the hope that the technical studies designed to
regulate and extend the application of the decimal system to the division of
angular space and of time shall be resumed, so as to permit the extension of
this application to all cases in which it presents real advantages.

what is geocoding?
googled....... Geocoding is the process of resolving geographic place names, addresses or other data to geographic coordinates or geocodes,

. ..The most common data to be geocoded are postal addresses. In fact, there are very few geocoding services
which geocode anything other than postal address data. The simple reason for this is that postal address data are among
the most prevalent forms of information [Eichelberger, 1993],...

UPU puts addressing on UN agenda
UPU director general Edouard Dayan .....“Addresses are taken for granted in industrialised countries, but billions of people in developing
countries don’t have them, ...“People without addresses cannot easily vote or enjoy a full legal identity, nor can they easily open a bank account or qualify for credit or loans,” he added.The head of the UN agency for postal services reminded his colleagues that addresses are important for delivering health and emergency services, developing rural and urban policies, and providing access to basic public services such as electricity or water.
Dayan continued: “How can you apply for a decent job without a personal address? How can businesses sell and customers buy online if there is no physical address for delivering the goods? How can people get a passport or an ID?”
The UPU wants to raise awareness of addressing systems and give an address to everyone in the world. ......

Goldberg 2PERSISTENT GEOCODING DIFFICULTIES....
... In developing countries with little GIS data infrastructure, the main roadblock to accurate geocoding is the simple non-existence of reference datasets or GIS data infrastructure [Croner, 2003, United Nations Economic Commission, 2005]. The
development of basic GIS reference datasets is hindered by the existence of slum-like areas that change frequently, contain geographic features that are not street addressable, and where many areas lack a consistent addressing scheme ...costly endeavors being undertaken in areas with few economic resources to dedicate to the task [United Nations Economic Commission, 2005].
http://www.urisa.org/goldberg
... Why can’t we use postcodes to accomplish the same job? The answer is that every nation has a different postcode structure, so one would have to create a “bridge code” to transcend all these different structures. However, there are some other reasons, including a great deal of money that each nation has already invested in their own mail processing systems and the lack of a unversal system that keeps addresses correct and up-to-date. A number of nations have non-sequential addressing systems where houses on a street are randomly numbered, not one after another. In some nations, there is a great distance between residences so a system that transcends these challenges is vitally important. ...

Kimmerling 1999
1.Areal cells constitute a complete tiling of the globe, exhaustively covering the globe without overlapping. (3,7)
2.Areal cells have equal areas. This minimizes the confounding effects of area variation in analysis, and provides equal probabilities for sampling designs. (2)
3.Areal cells have the same topology (same number of edges and vertices). (9, 14)4.Areal cells have the same shape. ideally a regular spherical polygon with edges that are great circles.
(4)5.Areal cells are compact. (10)6.Edges of cells are straight in a projection. (8)7.The midpoint of an arc connecting two adjacent cells coincides with the midpoint of the edge between
the two cells.8.The points and areal cells of the various resolution grids which constitute the grid system form a
hierarchy which displays a high degree of regularity. (5,6)9.A single areal cell contains only one grid reference point.(1)10.Grid reference points are maximally central within areal cells. (11)11.Grid reference points are equidistant from their neighbors. (12)12.Grid reference points and areal cells display regularities and other properties which allow them to be
addressed in an efficient manner.13.The grid system has a simple relationship to latitude and longitude.14.The grid system contains grids of any arbitrary defined spatial resolution. (5,6)

The smallest numbered Geotude is 10000 at lat=-90°, lng=-180°. Geotude number are incremented by 1, when we move from left (West) to right (East). Geotude number are incremented by 500, when we move from top (North) to bottom (South). Hence, the largest numbered Geotude is 99859 at lat=+89°, lng=+179°.
