When developing a database from such a standard, it is normal practice to prepare a data dictionary. This is a document which sets out all of the data fields that make up a computer record and specifies what information may be recorded in each field, including the reference data lists to be used and any other rules (for example the use of abbreviations). Data dictionaries have been developed for HERs. In 1993 ''Recording England's Past: A Data Standard for the Extended National Archaeological Record'' (''RCHME'' and ACAO) was published and in 1997, SMR '97 (RCHME) was circulated in draft. ''SMR '97'' provided the basis from which the ExeGesIS SDM Ltd's SMR software was developed and has continued to be developed to provide the data dictionary for that software. A range of different computer systems is in use across the UK and HER managers are recommended to make sure that a data dictionary specific to their system is available as a reference aid.
