Iceland - in numbers -
• Land area: ~ 103.000 sq. km. • Population: ~ 305.000• Capital: Reykjavík• Majority of the population
living within 60 km of the capital (~75%)
• 113.207 Addresses in the Real property DB (22.05.07)

7The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- law & regulations -
• Planning & building act– Municipalities are the only authority that can
create new addresses– Addresses are not specifically considered in
the act and little regulation are existing on how addresses and what information should be registered
• Standards– At present there is no standard in Iceland on
how address should be registered
8The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- stakeholders -
• Municipalities• The Land Registry of Iceland• The National Register• Emergency services - 112• Civil defence• Postal services• State internal revenues (Tax authorities)• Statistics Iceland• Road administration• Private sector (Loftmyndir/Map24, Samsýn)• ...
9The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- repositories -
• Several DB maintained with address info– Within the real property DB of LRI (text only)– Within the public register DB (text only)– Within the firm register DB (text only)– At the emergency service 112 (text+point)– By the postal office authorities (text + description)– At two private companies (text+point)
• None of them is the official and they overlap considerably
10The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system-responsibilities -
• Primary– Municipalities are responsible for creating addresses,
registering in the RPDB and “þinglýsingu” at local land registry office
• Secondary– National register, somewhat related to the RPDB but
lives independant life– Postal offices, where you can find addresses outside
the formal system (depending on how you define the term address)
11The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- entities & roles -
• Is an address a point or a place on a line?– All addresses are treated as points in Iceland– Addresses are considered like place names– As we don’t have an street master it is
possible that addresses within the same street have differently spelled names (eg. Laugarvegur 6 & Laugavegur 8)
12The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- entities & roles -
• Address identifier– Unique, 7 digit ID assigned by LRI
• Municipality name– Approved by the Ministry of social affairs
• Municipality code– Allocated by the National registry
• Municipality section code– Informal ID allocated by the LRI
13The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Current address system- entities & roles -
• Post codes– Created and maintained by the Postal Service– Have not been formally delimitated
• Street name & house number– Decided by local municipality in urban plan
• Parcel name – Decided by local municipality
• Parcel ID – Issued by LRI
14The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Drawbacks of present setup• Unconformity between different address systems
– How addresses are spelled or abbreviated– The registered declension (nomative or dative?)– Handling of numbers and characters– Handling of anomalies – No defined workflow set - inconsistency– Property address vs. postal address
• Overlapping repositories without defined boundaries
• Much redundant work within the public sector• Spatial location often unknown
15The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Work in process - geocoding addresses -
• LRI is presently working with a private firm to geocode all addresses registered in the RPDB– 75% of all real properties have today been geo-coded– 97% of all homes, summerhouses and workspaces
• From with 1st June 2007 will LRI be alone responsible for this address repository
• This geoDB will server multiple roles for LRI– Point cadastre (a first step for real cadastre)– Mass appraisal (connecting sale contracts to location)
16The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Work in process - engineering central address repository -
• Main stakeholders have recently created a workgroup to achieve above goal– First task is to define the core registration
entities of the system by identifying the shared commons
– Other address system (residence, postal, real properties) will extend to this core
– The common address repository will be maintained together by the LRI (management) and local municipalities (updating)
17The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Work in process - engineering central address repository -
• Spatial location will be integral attribute of the new system (not maintained separately)
• The system is considered to be multipurpose, thus capable to serve all stakeholders
• New addresses should be created simultaneously as building permit is issued
• The concept of sub-addresses introduced to aid for registration of entrances of large buildings
18The Land Registry of Iceland-GeoInformation Department
Work in process - engineering central address repository -
• Pricing is to be minimal (in accordance to new EU directive) to enhance uses of the repository
• The conceptual design for the new system should be in place this autumn
• The system it self is scheduled in early 2008
• Should be in full operation in 2009

ConclusionQ1. What is the status of present address registration in Iceland?
Several different address repositories Lack of coordination between stakeholders Redundancy of work and unconformity of data Anomalies are common and difficult to manage
between systems Spatial dimension only newly introduced
Q2. What is the future vision?
Common core address repository for all major stakeholders in Iceland
Spatial location will onwards be considered integral part of an address
