Dear all
A big thanks to everyone who has completed the attached survey (around 35ish HERs so far), and a last opportunity for anyone who was meaning to do so but hasn't got round to it!
Many thanks
Sarah

> I have been asked by the ALGAO HER committee to look into the implementation of data standards in HERs/SMRs, particularly the use of the Event - Monument - Archive model. This work will inform a project looking at the implications of statutory HERs, and your input is important to further our understanding of the present situation and to help update this aspect of the SMR resource assessment exercise undertaken by Baker, Chitty and Edwards in 2004.
>
> The recording of Events, Monuments and Archives, and a system that is able to handle a core MIDAS data standard are seen as important components of the HER Benchmark standard (benchmarks 2.2 and 3.2), which in turn is being developed to meet the requirements of the new Heritage Protection system. It is not expected that every HER/SMR will be fully compliant at present, and this exercise is simply an attempt to get a better understanding on the current status.
>
> Anyone using the HBSMR software will be compliant with the E-M-A model in terms of data structure, but I am also interested to what extent HBSMR users are recording events in this way e.g. in the indexing of PPG 16 led fieldwork and/or recasting old SMR records into the E-M-A format.
>
> To this end I have compiled the attached questionnaire, and I would greatly appreciate your responses. If you have any queries or would like to discuss this further, please don't hesitate to contact me by telephone or email. The information is being collated in late November, so please can I have replies by 10th November at the latest.
