CDVS Workshop: Introduction to Address Geocoding

Projects involving location data often require geocoding: converting addresses into mappable points for visualization and analysis. This workshop will introduce the geocoding process, discuss the advantages and limitations of several geocoding tools, and review best practices for improving the quality of results. We'll also cover approaches for more challenging cases, including historical data, international addresses, data with specific security needs, and high-volume processing. Participants will have time to practice during hands-on exercise. No prior experience with GIS software is required. This event is open to non-Duke participants.
