Many organizations maintain large databases of events by address, such as crime reports and tax and parcel records.
Addresses are, in fact, the most common form of storing geographic data.
With geocoding, you can display the tabular data containing addresses as points on a map and find their locations on a map easily. Address geocoding in ArcView is a process that creates a theme based on street address data that can be displayed with other themes in a view. During geocoding, ArcView reads these addresses and locates them on a streets theme. This involves the process of address matching. ArcView will create a geocoded theme based on an ArcView shapefile to store the attributes of all records.
