**In June 2014, LINZ moved the information from the Authoritative Streets and Places database (ASP) into Landonline and the ASP database is no longer maintained. ** ****************************************** This table is used by the application to parse the road name field and warn the editor if it does not contain a valid street type.
This table is part of the Authoritative Streets and Places (ASP) Database. For more information about the database including the data model see [here](http://www.linz.govt.nz/property-addressing/address-road-places-data).
**Notes:**
- This table contains a static unique identifier 'id' column that is not part of the original published ASP [database](http://www.linz.govt.nz/property-addressing/address-road-places-data). This column has been added to support incremental changesets on LDS. There is a direct relationship between this column and the original primary key on the 'std_abb' column.

The ASP database was designed to support the electoral system, its primary purpose to provide an authoritative listing of Streets and Places in New Zealand, and to be able to report these by Local Authority, General or Maori Electorate, or No-Licence District.
Under the Electoral Act, LINZ must hold an authoritative record of all road names in New Zealand; and the Local Government Act charges local authorities with the responsibility of assigning road names and street address.
