Is this a short term (sic) problem which could be solved when EH take over responsibility for maritime archaeology, and then all "war graves and protected sites" would become SAMs?

hi everyone
During this project a number of issues were raised that are worth
considering as I promised I will be e-mailing around a number of issues that
are worth considering .... Both during this e-mail open forum and while you
are looking through the peer review packs.
You will note in the Protection Grade / Status list is a term
War Graves and
Protected places
Now these terms are based on Maritime status based on 1986 "protection of
military remains act"
There is a real problem here
As a lookup term or on a printout from a system Protected Places etc means
very little (it is not very clear)
Now this begs a fundamental question in terms of how we develop our
terminology
Do we opt for accepted terms that may be difficult to understand for users
of our systems - which risks mistakes in the indexing of a records or do we
depart from the legal terminology so we can ensure that we do not have
instances of mis-understanding?
what do you think
Jason?
