The Heritage Gateway is an English Heritage website that allows users to search almost 60 resources from across the country. Exegesis has had a long involvement with the project and has developed solutions to allow publication of data held in HBSMR and to enable map-based searching.

Exegesis was selected to work with Exmoor NPA staff to develop the 'Exmoor's Past' website as part of the Exmoor National Park Historic Environment Record (ENPHER) development project. This increased the searchability and range of publically available data, also presenting the information in an imaginative, attractive, user-friendly way.

This innovative project created a network of volunteer Heritage Stewards who carry out surveys of the survival and condition of Lincolnshire's heritage. These volunteers are trained to survey all types of heritage assets and feed the information into an 'at risk' database. Exegesis developed the web site for the project.

exeGesIS SDM created a set of MapBasic tools to analyse the distribution of fisheries habitats and fishing activity relative to Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and SAC Features.

 

exeGesIS and Natural Resources Wales (NRW) undertook a 1,200 km survey of the Wales Coast Path prior to its opening. This was used to establish a baseline for the condition of the path and provide a resource for those responsible for its management. exeGesIS worked with NRW to establish the methodology for the survey.

We developed two mobile applications that demonstrated how rights of way data from Norfolk County Council and Zeeland can be consumed, shared and updated by mobile users. The applications allow the mobile user to see data and information in their local area, edit that information and report issues back to the host databases.

Bedford Borough Council commissioned the scanning of the paper files contained within their Historic Environment Record (HER), in order to reduce physical storage requirements and make the data available online. exeGesIS contributed towards this project by associating the scanned images with the relevant records in HBSMR.

As part of their annual maintenance scheme Powys County Council requires a condition survey carried out on a 5% sample of the Rights of Way network, in line with established BVPI (best value performance indicator) standards.
 

We created a national web-based system for crowd-sourcing and managing high-quality walking routes for the Ramblers. Routes are developed and checked by volunteer users, with a library of several thousand walking routes already created. These walks are published through the Ramblers website.

Exegesis investigated and mobilised the available data on 120 species covered by the Habitats Directive. These data were sought from third-party data holders, determining the data that exists and then working towards mobilising it on the NBN Gateway so that it could be used during preparation of the third Article 17 report.
