Esri ArcGIS Pro Foundation Certification Practice Test

Can a feature with a street address also have a Name attribute related to a place-name locator?

1. Yes, it is always included

2. No, it cannot

3. Yes, but only for certain addresses

4. No, only numeric attributes are used

The correct answer is: No, it cannot

In this context, the correct response indicates that a feature with a street address is not able to have a Name attribute associated with a place-name locator. Features with street addresses are typically tied to specific locations and defined primarily by their numeric address. In most situations, the attributes used in the addressing system are not designed to include qualitative place names which may vary in usage and context. The focus of the attributes on numerical identifiers provides consistency in locating a physical address within a mapped system. Rather than relying on subjective or variable name attributes, the system maintains clarity and precision by sticking to standard address formats. This approach simplifies data handling and ensures that geocoding and mapping processes remain uniform and reliable when dealing with location data. The other options suggest scenarios where a Name attribute could exist alongside a street address, which does not align with the specific conventions of addressing in GIS systems.
