Input Geocoding Transaction File Data Set Name: WS.ES202.CENCO.GEO.scmmddyy Service Center DSN: YBUssX.A145.CENCO.GEO.scmmddyy, ('ss' = State FIPS code; 'sc' = State Postal abbreviation; 'mmddyy' = Date of IGT transmission) Type of File: Sequential File Layout: ES2IGT The Input Geocoding Transaction (or IGT) File is produced by the BLS National Office by running a state's EQUI data through geocoding software to determine the geographic location of the establishment. The output IGT is made available to the state in a machine-readable format (EUS Direct, CD, etc.), for processing by EXPO Job 35D. In addition to defining longitude, latitude and other geocoding values, this file also represents a standardized notation for the physical address with consistent abbreviations, spacing of words, etc. This represents the standard interface method for applying geocode fields to micro data. As geocoding becomes more globally available, more applications and other systems will likely draw upon these values for further analysis. | ||||||
