Universal Common Parcel Indexing:
The Missing Link in Real Estate Data
The Missing Link in Real Estate Data
Introducing the Open Parcel Number (OPN) - a practical standard that gives every land parcel a unique, universal identifier, just like people who have SSNs and vehicles that have VINs; they transcend boundaries. O
PROBLEM
No Universal ID
The ground you stand on has no universally recognized identifier, unlike people (SSN) or vehicles (VIN).
Poor Interoperability
Every link between records and Map / Joining tables together is a proprietary, manual one-off project.
Multiple Version Dates
Users are notified of lot splits, joins, adjustment or ownership changes at multiple different times according to their service, sometimes up to a year apart.
SOLUTION: UCPI©
Assigns Globally Unique IDs
Assigns, globally unique, persistent Parcel IDs to digital twin JSONs of latest shp. file. UCPI added fields include OPN, APN, OWNER, CHANGE DATE
Enables Instant Interoperability
Point-in Parcel Lat Longs from any two land record files sent to the OPN HUB find and assign their pertinent OPN to each, enabling on-the-fly WHEN NEEDED OPN to OPN Joins.
Enhanced Change Management
All map updates generate CHANGE MAPs of every lot split, join and adjustment and supporting LEGACY OPN TABLE nationally, eternally archiving ever lot line change by CURRENT and LEGACY [retired] OPN, change Type and Date.
OPN USA Consortium
Current UCPI sponsor, OPN USA, Inc., upon target revenue, is to transforms into Open Platform Private/Public Subscriber/Owner OPN USA Consortium, soon to be joined by an OPN Consortium composed and every Nation on Earth. OGC sees UCPI enabling indexing of Real Estate Sales worldwide, listed on stock exchanges everywhere, like any other commodity, arguably a deterrent to war. Mad yes, but not mad enough to bomb my own assets.
SOLUTION
Locate Parcel Centroid
Each parcel's center point is identified with precise latitude-longitude coordinates.
Generate Open Location Code
The coordinates are converted to an Open Location Code Plus Code format.
Add Property ID Extension
A Property ID extension accounts for multiple owners of the same parcel.
Match and Update
Point-in-Parcel values in any Source File find matching parcels and append OPN fields.
WHY OPN USA?
Only Deployed Solution
UCPI© is the only OPEN system deployed already assigning OPNs to any land related data transactions
