Placekey is an initiative that provides a free, universal standard identifier for any physical place. It solves the problem of joining disparate datasets by creating a common key that can be used across organizations, enabling easier sharing and combination of geospatial data. Placekey assigns a unique identifier to physical locations, incorporating both the location ("where") and details ("what") of points of interest (POIs). It was launched with the help of founding partners, including SafeGraph, Esri, and Carto.
