In general the geocode is a human-readable and short identifier. Typical geocodes and entities represented by it: Country code and subdivision code. Polygon ...
The related term geocoding refers to the process of taking non-coordinate-based geographical identifiers, such as a street address, and finding associated geographic coordinates (or vice versa for reverse geocoding). Such techniques can be used together with geotagging to provide alternative search techniques. [citation needed]
This structure was designed to enable composite line-polygon structures (e.g., the census block), address geocoding, and transport network analysis. It also had the benefit of increased storage efficiency and reduced error, because the shared border of each pair of adjacent polygons was only digitized once.
The Open Location Code (OLC) is a geocode based on a system of regular grids for identifying an area anywhere on the Earth. [1] It was developed at Google's Zürich engineering office, [2] and released late October 2014. [3] Location codes created by the OLC system are referred to as "plus codes".
