US Patent 8996523 Forming quality street addresses from multiple providers

Feature information, such as street address data, is provided by multiple sources of varying levels of trust. The street address data provided by these sources may include various representations of an address for a map feature. Thus, overlapping street address data for the map feature exists. In one embodiment, a feature selection server merges the street address data for the map feature to create a representative street address for the address data provided from multiple sources.
