Exegesis Spatial Data Management

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.
 

The purpose of the habitat and land-use toolkit was to maintain and update a GIS habitat layer and associated attributes in a relational database. The tool manages the link between the GIS and database, ensuring that any changes to the features or the attributes are reflected in all data.

Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England (SHINE) is an on-line system for Entry and Higher Level Stewardship agri-environment schemes. SHINE manages consultations with Historic Environment Records (HERs) to deliver asset inventories and Farm Environment Plan HER Responses during the HLS application process.

Christchurch Borough Council contracted exeGesIS to undertake a survey of the council's cemeteries. This required an assessment of around 4,000 graves across Christchurch, with each one accurately plotted on a map, photographed and condition assessed, along with a detailed risk assessment.

Buckinghamshire County Archaeological Service commissioned the first HER website built with HBSMRWeb back in 2005. The site featured interactive mapping and used the HBSMR Themes module to create and publish educational content. The site was updated in 2010.
 

exeGesIS developed and provides support for Marine Recorder, a system for storing, managing and querying marine data. The system is used by some 40 organisations representing 130 individual users. We also provide training in the use of the software.
