This dictionary includes terms from GIS operations such as analysis, data management, and geocomputation; from rapidly evolving uses of GIS for modeling, GIScience, and Web-based GIS; and from the GIS foundation fields of cartography, spatial statistics, computer science, surveying, geodesy, and remote sensing. This online GIS Dictionary also includes ESRI software-specific terminology.

-
[address matching] A set of guidelines that define the format of addresses and methods of matching that can be used for a specific application.
-
[geocoding] In ArcView 3.x, specifies the address fields contained in the reference theme and address event table that will be used for geocoding. Each supported address style requires specific address fields. Geocoding tabular data based on an address style that requires few address fields may result in faster geocoding, but feature locations may not be as accurate as those produced using an address style with more address fields. In ArcGIS, address styles are called geocoding styles.
