18. The system of claim 16 , wherein at least one of said one or more processors is further configured to perform the step of associating a unique consignee token related to a single consignee location with said preferred address.
16. A computer system for scoring and maintaining address data for any of a plurality of records in an address database, comprising: memory; and one or more processors, wherein: said memory stores a package-level detail database of active shipment records, each active shipment record comprising an active tracking number, an active ship-to address, and an active delivery pattern code; said memory stores an electronic archive of delivery records, each delivery record comprising a past tracking number, a past ship-to address, a past delivery pattern code, and a stop identifier; and at least one of said one or more processors is configured to perform the steps of: gathering a queue of address data from said detail database and said archive for a period of days; assigning a score to said address data in said queue; gathering a consignee staging queue from data in said queue related to a select consignee location; assigning a mining key to a current parcel selected from said consignee staging queue, said mining key comprising a parcel tracking number and a current delivery pattern code; comparing said mining key to said package-level detail database and said archive by: (a) retrieving from said archive those select delivery records having a past delivery pattern code that matches said current delivery pattern code, each of said select delivery records having a select past ship-to address; (b) retrieving from said package-level detail database those select active shipment records having an active ship-to address that matches any said select past ship-to address in said select delivery records; prioritizing a set of mined data comprising said select delivery records and said select active shipment records, said set of mined data prioritized in order of the records most closely associated with said mining key, wherein a preferred address related to said mining key occurs first, and said set of mined data further comprises: a plurality of ship-to address records having a representative symbol in place of one or more sequence values; clusters of said ship-to address records having the same stop identifier; clusters of said ship-to address records having the same delivery pattern code; a delivery pattern similarity matrix built upon a counting the coincidence of each delivery pattern code and each ship-to address within said set of mined data; a sum of the overlapping delivery pattern occurrences within said delivery pattern similarity matrix for each pair of ship-to addresses; a stop identifier similarity matrix built upon a counting the coincidence of each stop identifier and each ship-to address within said set of mined data; a sum of the overlapping stop occurrences within said stop identifier similarity matrix for each pair of ship-to addresses; and said set of mined data sorted in order the highest number of overlapping delivery pattern occurrences and the highest number of overlapping stop occurrences; assigning said preferred address to said current parcels; and updating said address database.
