Question 1

An address locator style is used in geocoding for which of the following?&#10;A) It establishes the criteria for how the geocoding is going to be performed.&#10;B) It establishes the allowed error parameters for the geocoding process.

Accepted Answer

An address locator style defines the rules and standards for how addresses are matched during the geocoding process, including the format and structure of the address components.

Question 2

Address Locators can be shared using ArcGIS Online by creating which of the following?&#10;A) Locator Package&#10;B) Geocoding Package&#10;C) Batch Package&#10;D) Address Package

Accepted Answer

Locator Packages (.lpk) can be created in ArcGIS to share address locators. These packages can then be shared through ArcGIS Online, allowing others to use the locator for geocoding addresses.

Question 3

Matching multiple addresses at once describes:&#10;A) Address Locators&#10;B) Batch geocoding&#10;C) Reference Data&#10;D) Centerlining

Accepted Answer

Batch geocoding is the process of matching multiple addresses at once.

Question 4

TIGER/Line files are created and maintained by:&#10;A) USGS&#10;B) U.S. Department of Transportation&#10;C) NavTeq&#10;D) U.S. Census Bureau

Accepted Answer

TIGER/Line files, which stand for Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system, are created and maintained by the U.S. Census Bureau. These files are used for mapping and geographic analysis, supporting various census and survey programs.

Question 5

In ArcGIS, a road like Mahoning Avenue would be stored in a feature class as:&#10;A) A single record in the attribute table&#10;B) Multiple records, each making up a line segment of Mahoning Avenue&#10;C) The entire feature class would contain one line feature saved as &#34;FENAME = 'Mahoning.'&#34;&#10;D) Several records, each signifying a Mahoning Avenue junction.

Accepted Answer

In ArcGIS, a road such as Mahoning Avenue is typically stored as multiple records in the attribute table, with each record representing a line segment of the road. This allows for detailed mapping and analysis of the road, including its various segments and intersections.

Question 6

Which of the following attributes is not included in a regular TIGER file?&#10;A) Address ranges for each side of the street&#10;B) Street names&#10;C) Street zip codes&#10;D) Number of houses per street

Accepted Answer

TIGER files, which stand for Topologically Integrated Geographic Encoding and Referencing system, include various types of data such as address ranges for each side of the street, street names, and zip codes. However, they do not include information on the number of houses per street.

Question 7

The base street layer used as a source for geocoding is:&#10;A) Network layer&#10;B) Geo layer&#10;C) Reference layer

Accepted Answer

The base street layer used as a source for geocoding is typically referred to as a reference layer. This layer contains the geographic locations and names of streets, which are used to match and locate addresses.

Question 8

Linear interpolation is used in geocoding by:&#10;A) Lining up the plotted point with the dimensions of the parcel of the address.&#10;B) Placing the plotted point a defined interpolated distance away from the parcel boundaries of the address.&#10;C) Providing an estimate of where the point should be plotted along a line segment.&#10;D) Adjusting the position of the point after it has been plotted to better line up with the real-world location of the address.

Accepted Answer

Linear interpolation in geocoding estimates the position of a point along a line segment based on the known locations at either end of the segment, providing an approximate location for an address within that segment.
