English Heritage has today published a report commissioned through external consultants Jura into the user requirements for access to the new integrated List of Heritage Assets (referred to in the report by its former title of the register). The report highlights the need to provide access to the register both independently and alongside other resources as part of the Heritage Gateway www.heritagegateway.org.uk It suggests a variety of text and map based searching options to meet the requirements of a range of users.
English Heritage reported “We are grateful to all those members of IHBC who contributed to this research either by attending a focus group or completing the online questionnaire. The user requirements highlighted by this research will inform a specification being developed by English Heritage for the delivery of the new List via the internet. Internet delivery of the List information is not dependent upon the HPR legislation as it will involve updating and integrating our systems, and the dissemination of the data they contain.”
