Input data consists of descriptive, textual information that is converted to numeric, spatial data (latitude/longitude) by the process of geocoding. This data is either relative or absolute. Relative input data relates to a location in relation to another specific reference location. Relative geocoding results can be challenging for some algorithms to process, as it relies on the existence of other data points.
Absolute input data, on the other hand, describes a known location independent of a reference location. This type of geocoding results in a precise, accurate output. It is the most accurate form of geocoding.
