Geocoding is taking a list of addresses (points) and representing them on a map...

• Any list of valid addresses can be geocoded.
• It is the first step in figuring out how those “things” spatially fit into the world around us, especially in relationship to other “things.”
• It associates attribute or database information with geographic features so that they can be be analyzed and manipulated along with the geographic features.
