A pseudo interpretation of the structure of the Address_Data_UK Dictionary for addresses

{ "Country":{ "Bourough 1, City 1" :{ "SubArea 1 B1C1": [ "Adress 1", "Adress 2", "Adress 3" ], "SubArea 2 B1C1": [ "Adress 4", "Adress 5", "Adress 6" ] }, "Bourough 2, City 1" :{ "SubArea 1 B2C1": [ "Adress 7", "Adress 8", "Adress 9" ], "SubArea 2 B2C1": [ "Adress 10", "Adress 11", "Adress 12" ] }, "Bourough 1, City 2" :{ "SubArea 1 B1C2": [ "Adress 13", "Adress 14", "Adress 15" ], "SubArea 2 B1C2": [ "Adress 16", "Adress 17", "Adress 18" ] } } }

A similar structure for Swedish Dictionary for addresses Address_Data_SE

{ 'Sweden':{ 'Kommun 1, Landsting 1' :{ 'Kommundel 1 K1L1': [ 'Adress 1', 'Adress 2', 'Adress 3' ], 'Kommundel 2 K1L1': [ 'Adress 4', 'Adress 5', 'Adress 6' ] }, 'Kommun 2, Landsting 1' :{ 'Kommundel 1 K2L1': [ 'Adress 7', 'Adress 8', 'Adress 9' ], 'Kommundel 2 K2L1': [ 'Adress 10', 'Adress 11', 'Adress 12' ] }, 'Kommun 1, Landsting 2' :{ 'Kommundel 1 K1L2': [ 'Adress 13', 'Adress 14', 'Adress 15' ], 'Kommundel 2 K1L2': [ 'Adress 16', 'Adress 17', 'Adress 18' ] } } }

Sweden Address, Postal Code issues

There are 290 municipalities (kommuner) and 21 regions (regioner) in Sweden.

Sharing my summary of the issues regarding the way "Kommuner" , "Län" , "Landsting ", "Regioner" and "Postkoder" is handled in Sweden - or rather lack of Open Data, Open APIs that are really useful for all developer ecosystems. I am in the process right now of merging and preparing data sets, structure and APIs for some applications. Please comment and share your oppinions and proposals for next step. We need as a community to fix this together. I have posted this problem description, its potential solution and how I "solved" it just now at iDare integration Community as well for others to comment.

Slow and expensive Postal Code service by the agency

Weekly delivery - 52 deliveries / year - 64 900 SEK Monthly delivery - 12 deliveries / year - 29 900 SEK Quarterly delivery - 4 deliveries / year - 13 900 SEK Annual delivery - 1 delivery / year - 4 900 SEK Purchase of single file - 4 900 SEK

There has been several efforts to create "similar" services but they have not managed to keep their services cost effective. All companies make their own solution and handles this very differently.

My solution in Python fixing Swedish kommuner and regioner data

The above solution takes 2 Excel spreadsheet from the Agency and fixes them, merges them in the new updated vocabulary of naming kommuner and regioner.

New_merged_fixed_kommuner_regioner_Sweden

Next step is to fix - Address level details per subarea in the kommuner - all of the logistics is using postal codes and coordinates.

The postal codes is not easily mapped to areas - same street can have different post code numbering.

There are actual streets that exists even in different "Kommuner", "Regioner" by spanning the area borders

Postal codes

At present, there are approximately 17,000 postcodes in Sweden. The Swedish postal code system is managed by Postnord on behalf of the Swedish Post and Telecom Agency.

The Swedish postal code system is based on a five-digit number combination divided into two groups with three and two digits, respectively. The principle of numbering is that the lower a zip code is, the further south the town lies. Excluded from the principle are postcodes beginning with the number 1, which represents the Stockholm area. The postal resorts are divided into two, three and five positions depending on the size of the town. Larger locations are two-position varieties, really small five-position varieties and other three-position varieties.

Previously, the recommendation was to write two spaces between postal code and city, and that the postal city should be written in capital letters. This is due to limitations in the mechanical sorting. These recommendations are now removed.

123 45 - 5 digits in a Swedish postalcode Sometimes with a space between 3rd and 4th digit. This is getting gradually simplified to not have spaces

2-digit postcode system

12x xx - the first 2 digits are a "postort"

xx3 xx - the 3rd digit is "the form for delivery"

xxx 45 - the 4th and 5th digit is the "geografic area"

3-digit postcode system

123 xx - the first 3 digits are "geographical area" for a "postort" ( this used to be the post terminal )

xxx 4x - the 4th digit is "the form for delivery"

xxx x5 - the 5th digit is the "geografic area"

There are some exceptions ... all is not covered here

Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö has received more and separated companyaddresses from other addresses

10x xx - Ex Stockholm "Box- och företagsadresser"

11x xx - Ex Stockholm "Gatuadresser"

5-digit postcode system

not that common - used at smaller areas very far and distant
