Cultural Heritage and the wider Historic Environment Annex III: Buildings - really? Upstanding archaeology Cropmark sites and landscapes Non-addressable features Lost industrial heritage
Protected Sites and the wider Historic Environment Annex I A Protected Site is defined as an “Area designated or managed within a framework of international, Community and Member States' legislation to achieve specific conservation objectives” [Directive 2007/2/EC]. “..a Protected Site is an area of land and/or sea especially dedicated to the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, and of natural and associated cultural resources, and managed through legal or othereffective means.” [International Union for the Conservation of Nature] In Scotland RCAHMS published WMS for it’s Canmore data in alignment with the Protected Sites theme The HERs have adopted the same approach McKeague, P., Corns, A.

Developing interoperability across boundaries Frontiers of the Roman Empire There is a need for a consistent approach to documenting spatial data for both Monuments and Events across local, regional, national and international boundaries
Metadata: one size does not fit all Metadata needs to be specific to the type of data recorded 3D surveys Geophysical survey Airborne Laser Scanning Spatial Discovery metadata: Describes the nature and content of the dataset Exploration metadata: The information required to ensure the data is appropriate for purpose Exploitation metadata: The information required to access, transfer and apply the data Shaw, R., Corns, A. and McAuley, J., 2009 Archiving Archaeological Spatial Data: Standards and Metadata in the online proceedings of Making History Interactive, CAA 2009, 22-26 March 2009, Wiliamsburg, Virginia, USA http://www.caa2009.org/articles/Shaw_Contribution187_c%20(1).pdf
Towards consistency OASIS already provides a template for gathering consistent metadata for some ‘Event’ types and allows for upload and transfer of spatial extents.
