Hi, Does anyone know a library to compare addresses in Java ? Something that would give equality on addresses, written in different ways.

In a lot of scenarios, the only way we can stop people from cheating the system and getting a promotion they don't deserve is to check street address strings against each other. I was looking at using levenshtein...

I am wondering if there is some sort of "standard" for storing US addresses in a database? It seems this is a common task, and there should be some sort of a standard. What I am looking for is a specific schema of how the database tables should work and interact, already in third normal form, including data types (MySQL). A good UML do...
