%X Information about a location can be imprecise and context dependent. This is especially true for road networks, where some streets are long or two-way, and just the name of a street may represent low-value information for certain applications. To improve precision, geocoding commonly includes the number of a building on a street, the highway location, often indicated in kilometers, or the postal code in a town or city. One can also improve the description of a location using spatial attributes, because they are familiar concepts for humans. This article outlines a model to precisely georeference locations, using geocoding and routing services and considering the natural attributes used by humans regarding locations.
