Hello HERO's The HER is down so am staring out the window thinking great thoughts - honestly. Anyway, one thing I have been pondering is Validation of HER records and what is meant by that. So in HBSMR (sssss) I know there was Validation fields, but I wonder where the idea came from and what people take it to mean? Can't find it mentioned in IFP (in a quick trawl), its briefly mentioned in the HER Audit spec (2011 v3.1), but not really defined, same in the benchmarks For some things it's easy - Sources/Events- as they don't change, so once you have created/finalised them they are unlikely to be updated. But I am pondering if we should have levels of Validation (for Heritage features/Monuments) to reflect the fact that the record might have been checked to make sure it's been filled in right, but may not have been updated to extensively trawl new Sources added since the last enhancement? Ideally this should happen as you go, but in practice for records that may need a lot of work, I sometimes just link to a new Source, and don't extract all the info. If you all reply to wish my HER is speedily restored, I'll understand, but any thoughts on this are welcome tar Best wishes Nick Boldrini Historic Environment Record Officer Ext 267008 ________________________________ Help protect our environment by only printing this email if absolutely necessary.
