Data Type Profile: AU G-NAF Identifier

This identifier profile defines a Geocoded National Address File (G-NAF) identifier in an Australian context. The PSMA G-NAF is Australia’s authoritative, geocoded address file. A G-NAF identifier (sometimes referred to as G-NAF ID, or G-NAF PID, or GNAF ID, or address_detail_pid) identifies an address in the PSMA G-NAF.

Usage:

• Use this DataType Constraint: Australian Address
