Provides the data to be maintained in a gazetteer of streets, consistent with Part 0 of this standard. This enables different users of street information to use the same data with consistency of content, accuracy, currency and format.

This part of BS7666 specifies the data to be maintained in a gazetteer of streets, consistent with Part0 of this standard. This enables different users of street information to use the same data with consistency of content, accuracy, currency and format. Different ways of referencing a street are defined so that data can be accessed by street name, description, route number, unique reference number or external cross-reference. This part of BS7666 also specifies the means of representing the geometry of the street in terms of coordinates. Three ways are allowed for this with successive levels of detail: by identifying the end points of a street, and representing the street as a single line segment; by breaking the street at its intermediate junctions to create a set of constituent line segments, termed elementary street units; by describing the course of each elementary street unit. Each of these options is defined by a level of conformance to the standard. This part of BS7666 is intended for use by those compiling street gazetteers for purposes of highways and streetworks management, property addressing and navigation. It does not provide a database design or a transfer forma0074. This part of BS7666 also specifies how additional information on Public Rights of Way may be recorded. This only applies to England and Wales.
