Hi all, Welcome to day 2 of the conference and thanks for the contributions yesterday. Today we are focussing on the question - Is this a good idea? Below is a post on behalf of Graham Tait, to get the ball rolling. _______________________________________________ Hi all, This project takes the idea from English Heritage that Local Authority HERs are to be the first point of call for (and primary trusted source for) terrestrial monuments and events data. Such a scenario supposes that English Heritage intend to stop maintaining a national record of these records (but may maintain a national maritime record). The records in AMIE would be supplied to local HERs, where they can be reconciled with existing data. Data supply would mean a one-off transfer of data rather than ongoing data exchange. If this happens, here's some strengths / opportunities that I can think of: 1. All the data is in one place 2. No duplication of effort 3. Promotes status of HERs 4. Improved data quality 5. Data is better integrated in the planning process 6. Better opportunity for local knowledge Here are some weaknesses / threats that I can think of: 1. Resources needed to reconcile data 2. Possible variability in accessibility of data 3. Ability to search some national datasets Can anyone think of any others (either positive or negative)?
