I work with these guys all the time and am in fact running two projects
with them - a textile mills survey and a UAD - with EH funding, both of
which include slotting the results back into the HER. We run HBSMR and
ArcGIS here, so the experience of doing this is likely to be useful but
no doubt a wider consultation would be even better.

hi guys
this might mainly apply to us northerners, but I am assuming a number of
you may have received an email from OAN about GIS capabilities and data
exchange?
For those who haven't, their IT person has emailed a number of HER's to
look into options for data delivery of HER data but also methods for
delivery back to HER's in ways which help identify updated/new records
for re-integration with the HER.
Before I replied I thought I would suggest something for the list to
ponder.
I can reply and give various answers, but the questions OAN are asking
are similar to ones that have been mooted at HBSMR and (I think) HER
Forum meetings, about data formats (and I am assuming not just GIS data
here).
It seems what they are looking into could link into various existing
proposals/projects such as ASPIRE and OASIS - in particular the
discussions re OASIS which were held at the last HBSMR (?) meeting about
exactly this sort of thing - but also the new IFA data Management
Section may be interested too?
It would seem that here is a contractor who may be a useful Pilot to
work some of these issues through with and wonder if there is anyone
involved with those projects/organisation who I could put forward as a
contact to OAN to look into this?
I'll even volunteer myself to be involved in a pilot (what the hell,
none of my line managers are in today....)
I can almost here everyone involved sitting on their hands as I type
this, so they don't volunteer for more work, but the alternative is for
the 30 odd people contacted to all give slightly different requirements
and drive the poor lass at OAN slowly daft.
This could be a good opportunity to look at some of these issues so I am
hoping there is someone on here able to reply?
