The NENA Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Canadian Civic Location Data Exchange Format (CLDXF-CA) Standard provides, for the first time in Canadian 9-1-1 history, a common, unified and standardized civic addressing data structure accommodating all provinces and territories for the purpose of exchanging Canadian civic location information locally, nationally, and internationally. The Standard defines the detailed data elements needed for address data exchange and formally registers the Canadian profile of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Presence Information Data Format-Location Object (PIDF-LO) civic location data.
Thank you to the CLDXF-CA Working Group members for committing their time and expertise to establishing this standard.
