Thanks for this - it's basically just the information we were given,
which still leaves me wondering what I meant in my notes to myself.
What I _think_ I may have meant is that the Information Asset Registers
could be developed in detail so as to be really useful to researchers.
For example, a local authority may have information such as the date in
which a historic house was demolished - held by any one of a dozen of
departments.
In short, I was thinking, maybe, that IARs could be a peg to hang cross
database searching on.
Cheers,
Pat
