Addressing is the specific identification of a fixed location (for example, a plot of land, building, part of a building, way of access or other construction) which is represented by a structured arrangement of place names. It may be further detailed with the inclusion of other valuable attributes including geocodes.

The NSW Address Location Service web service allows the user to enter an address and pinpoint the location of that address. The NSW Address Location Service is derived from the Geocoded Urban and Rural Address System (GURAS) database. This web service allows users to easily integrate NSW addressing information into spatial platforms and applications. The addressing web service provides users with a unique and unambiguous identification of an address site and its location within NSW. The ability to identify the location of an address supports a wide range of business functions including: the delivery of products and services, public safety, communication and socio-economic and demographic analysis. The GURAS database is the authoritative property addressing system for NSW.

Positioning is NSW’s authoritative, reliable, high-accuracy spatial referencing system. The Positioning theme includes the coordinates and their uncertainty of all location-based data promulgated from, or related to, the Geocentric Datum of Australia (GDA94) and the Australian Height Datum (AHD71).

In due course, and allowing time for user feedback and testing, it is intended that the original service name will adopt the new multiCRS functionality.

Imagery is the product created from the use of airborne, space borne or terrestrial sensors. These technologies image the surface of the Earth to allow for the visualisation of land surface features. Imagery includes data sourced from satellite, aircraft and vehicle mounted sensors. These technologies have a range of capabilities that includes but is not limited to, the ability to record multispectral and hyperspectral data and produce products such as orthorectified mosaics and stereo-viewable imagery.
