Adding values to the Street name Pre/Post Types

[tomneer]

Hi Tom,

If you don’t mind, I would like to ask you a question in regards to the Street Name Post types available for the RaodCenterLine feature. Looking at the provided documentation - http://technet.nena.org/nrs/registry/StreetNamePreTypesAndStreetNamePostTyp, I can see that we- The City of Calgary, have a couple of names that are not in this list:

• Parade
• Link
• Villas – this could be a variation of Villa, which is already in the table. Is there a way that the reference material and the provided list could be updated with the missing values? If your answer is ‘YES’, what do we need to do to have the above mentioned types added to the list? If the answer is ‘No’, how do we deal with the roads that have these values to be able to add them in the GDB? Thank you very much. Best regards, Cristina

If your organization utilizes Street Name Pre and Post Types that are not listed in http://technet.nena.org/nrs/registry/StreetNamePreTypesAndStreetNamePostTypes.xml, at the bottom of the page there is a hyperlink to submit new entries for consideration.

NENA is an ANSI-accredited Standards Developer, so there are procedures that must be followed that can extend acceptance times. With that said, the GIS Data Model Template was designed to allow organization to modify it easily for internal use. Please note that adding values outside of the NENA registry may be rejected by the Spatial Interface or other GIS Data Providers.

To add new values, you can just add them by editing the domain in your GIS database. Optionally, you can modify the esri_geodatabase/NENA_NG911_Scripts/schema/schema_fgdb_v2.py in your local copy. Search the file for the domain_type "StreetNameType" (starting on line 512) and type your values into the values dictionary. Conversely, you can also remove Street Name Types that your organization does not use to make it not so long. Not many organizations have a Street Name Type of "Dawson County Road".
