yc c on 31 May 10Placecast MatchAPI is a Rosetta Stone for location data, translating addresses from different location data sources and resolving them to the one correct place. The Placecast MatchAPI resolves the two most challenging problems of working with large location-based data sets. First, it disambiguates addresses by identifying all of the different ways to express the address of a location and verifying that those differing expressions refer to the same place. Second, it maps all the relevant IDs from your different content providers to that same place so that it is always referred to correctly by any other system.
