1 Monument locations are displayed within the
GIS directly from the database. The extents of
monuments are derived from historic and modern
2 Monuments are scored within the project
database using the Monument Importance
Value system. This consists of the aggregated
mapping sources and aerial photography scores of eight separate categories; Group
guided by HER descriptions and grey Value (association), Survival, Potential,
literature. This has allowed Documentation (archaeological),
erroneous points to be Documentation (historical),
identified, addressed Group Value (clustering)
and corrected. Diversity (features),
and Amenity Value.
Workflow
Model
A Flexible Database
T he system is applied to a diverse range of projects
and therefore needs to be flexible and robust.
Projects often have a very short lead in time but may
continue for several years.
