Statement

Main sources of data for GeoDirectory are: OSI/Large Scale Map Database, OSI/Aerial Photography (Ortho-Photography), An Post ground validation, Feedback from internal usage - Automated mail sorting, CRM systems, OSI Ground Surveyors.

OSi Large Scale Map Database contains the geographical location of Urban, Sub-urban and Rural buildings.

Urban areas which cover all the major towns and cities in Ireland at a scale of 1:1000 are updated annually.

Sub-urban areas at a scale of 2,500 are also updated annually. Rural areas at a scale of 2,500 are updated on a 3 year

cycle and Rural areas at a scale of 5,000 are updated on a 5 year cycle.

Using a semi-automatic data collection process, all buildings are identified and stored in GeoDirectory, using OSI'S

Geographical Information System (GIS) address software.

Geographical Information System (GIS) address software.

Using a Clar (list of all the addresses on a postal route), and the OSi Large Scale Maps, all Postal Delivery Persons in An Post now maintain GeoDirectory. With the Delivery Person passing each building daily, the data such as change of building use, change of businesses, building no, building names etc. is conformed or amended if necessary and additional details may be added. New buildings are added by recording the address on blank forms and marking the position of the building on the map. The details are then fed back onto the database to the form the basis of the GeoDirectoy data products.

Administrative Boundary attributes (County, ED and Townland) are automatically added to the database using the OSi administrative boundary database and Geographical Information System (GIS) software.

GeoDirectory now includes the Small Area Boundary set. This set is a sub-ED level geography, which will have a homogenous design to enable proper and reliable comparable statistical potential.
