This update supports the Address (Installation Place) changes in Mplify 150.
This standard is intended to assist implementation of the Address Validation functionality defined for the LSO Cantata and LSO Sonata Interface Reference Point (IRPs), for which requirements and use cases are defined in Mplify 150 Installation Place and Service Site Management Business Requirements and Use Cases.
The purpose of Address Validation API is to ensure that the Buyer and the Seller understand each other in terms of address representation. It is often the case that the same address may be represented in various ways. There are also cases where the Fielded or Formatted Address Representation might be ambiguous or there is no Fielded or Formatted Address Representation at all.
An additional goal of the Address Validation is to obtain the Seller’s GeographicAddress identifier so that the Buyer may refer to it by reference hence speeding up the later conversation.
