Exegesis Spatial Data Management (an Idox company)

exeGesIS worked closely with Natural Resources Wales prior to the opening of the Wales Coast Path to provide a digital copy of the path for reference and release to the public in a variety of formats. The task required splitting and labelling approximately 1,500 km of path network supplied by NRW.

exeGesIS was commissioned by The Highland Council to migrate their existing Historic Environment Record (HER) systems into our HBSMR application platform. With an area the size of a small country, a key part of this work was to publish the HER online, to make it more accessible to Highland residents and heritage professionals.

We developed the Marine Planning Portal web site as a way of publishing marine data and facilitating stakeholder engagement required for marine planning. Users were able to comment on the published data sets or on specific map features, allowing comments to be downloaded for further analysis and processing.

The Angling Diary helps keen anglers keep track of their season, while also providing data to the Scottish Fisheries Co-ordination Centre and Rivers Trusts. The data can be searched and analysed in various ways, with fully interactive mapping.
 

Over a series of projects exeGesIS created a spatial inventory of wood pasture and parkland in England. Data were assessed against historic maps and aerial photography, as well as modern data sources. Ground truthing was undertaken in two regions. The resulting inventory mapped 156,838 ha of wood-pasture and parkland.

We developed a condition monitoring methodology to gain an insight into and monitor the condition of non-statutory woodlands. The survey methodology was tested on 100 sample sites. The main outputs were a woodland condition assessment manual, survey database, regression analysis, project report and baseline condition data.

Revealing Cheshire’s Past aims to enhance community awareness of Cheshire’s past by increasing access to the information in the Cheshire Historic Environment Record (HER). The project includes community exhibitions, a series of thematic factsheets and a website developed by exeGesIS to present the HER.

exeGesIS were contracted to undertake a feasibility study on the development of a tool to assess functional ecological connectivity. This involved an assessment of user needs, a review of the available methods and approaches, a stakeholder workshop to identify the preferred options and the development of a functional specification.

We developed the NBN Record Cleaner, a generic standalone open source tool for validating and verifying biodiversity data.

 

exeGesIS designed and developed CMSi for a consortium of Dutch organisations and the CMS Consortium. This tool is now used across the Netherlands for managing nature conservation protected areas.
