Standardization properties

The

Standardization

tab properties specify the language and formatting options that the mapping applies to the output data.

The following image shows the

Standardization

tab properties:

You can set the following properties:

Language

Indicates how the verifier selects the language in which to return an output address. You can set the property to return address data in the default language for the address country, or you can opt to preserve the input language in the output address data where it is possible to do so. Additionally, the

Language

property options include a list of ISO 639-3 codes that identify a range of languages around the world. You can select one or more language codes from the list.

Before you select a non-default option on the property, ensure that the Secure Agent that runs address verification mappings has access to reference data files for the country that you specify.

You can select one of the following options:

Country standard: Default value. Returns all available address data in the default language that the reference data files specify for the country.
Preserve input: Returns the address data in the language that the input data uses. Preserves the language if the reference data contains the address in the input language.
Select a country from a list of ISO language codes: Returns all available address data in the language that you select.; You can select multiple languages. Select the languages in order of preference. If the verifier cannot return the address data in a language that you specify, it tries the next language.

Script

Indicates the character set to use for the output data when the country supports more than one character set.

Country standard: Default value. Returns the address in the principal character set in which the reference data stores the address.
Country alternate: Returns the address in an alternative character set that the reference data stores for the address, if the character set is present. Otherwise uses the principal script.
Latin: Returns the address in a Latin script.
Preserve input: Returns the address in the character set that the input data uses.

Transliteration type

Indicates whether the transliteration process uses the default transliteration type for the address or an alternative transliteration type. Applies when you select Latin or Preserved input in Script property.

Limit Latin characters

Determines the extent to which the verifier restricts the use of characters from Latin character sets in an output address. Applies when you select Latin or Preserved input in Script property.

You can select one of the following options:

NoLimit: Returns the transliterated output in full. NoLimit is the default value.
Latin1: Limits the Latin characters to the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) character set. For example, replaces the following characters with Latin-1 characters:

Input
Output (Latin-1)

ä
ä

á
á

à
à

ả
a

ā
a
ASCIISimplified: Changes non-ASCII Latin characters to characters in the ASCII character set. Uses basic conversion, for example ö to o.
ASCIIExpanding: Changes non-ASCII Latin characters to characters in the ASCII character set. Uses extended conversion, for example ö to oe.

Input	Output (Latin-1)
ä	ä
á	á
à	à
ả	a
ā	a

Verify that your reference data files support the characters that the

Script

options specify. For example, a database that supports ASCII characters only will not store all Latin characters.

Descriptor Standardization

Specifies whether to abbreviate street and directional descriptors when abbreviations are available in the reference data.

You can select one of the following options:

Database. Default value. Returns the standard element descriptors from the reference data.

Long version. Returns the expanded form of the element descriptors. For example, a mapping returns STREET for the input element ST.

Preserve input. Copies the element descriptors from the input to the output.

Short version. Returns the abbreviated form of the element descriptors. For example, a mapping returns AVE for the input element AVENUE.

Casing

Specifies the character case for the output address data.

You can configure one of the following options:

Country standard. Default value. Returns the output in the standard casing style that the reference data uses for the country rules.

Lower. Returns the output in lowercase letters.

Mixed. Returns the output in mixed case according to country-specific casing guidelines.

Upper. Returns the output in uppercase letters.

Alias handling

Identifies the policy that address verification applies to recognized alternative names for address elements in an input address.

You can select one of the following options:

Full. Retains the alias for the address element. The default value is Full.

PreserveOfficial. Returns the address element name that the postal authority prefers. The name may be the official name or the alias, depending on the local usage.

PostalAdmin. Returns the official name of the address element.

Abbreviation. Returns the address element in its abbreviated form.
