If you are an OASIS user or potential user <\/span>we need your comments on how the new OASIS system will record large area surveys.<\/b><\/p>\n

The current version of OASIS was not designed to collect large area surveys and so does not cope with it very well. We think we can do better in the new system, but we need your help!<\/span><\/p>\n

This is how things might be improved. <\/span>Please use the comments section to tell us what you think.<\/b><\/p>\n

What scenarios are there? We think:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Walkover surveys e.g. Windfarm<\/li>\n
  2. Thematic surveys\/studies e.g. Roman bath sites in the UK<\/li>\n
  3. Linear projects e.g. Road\/rail schemes<\/li>\n
  4. Large geophysical surveys<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Can you add others?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Recording and reporting:<\/h3>\n

    <\/p>\n

    We propose to:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. have the area of the project\u00a0defined by a boundary polygon<\/em> – either uploaded from as a GIS file (formats to be determined) or drawn on a map on screen.<\/li>\n
    2. create only ONE record no matter how many HERs an event covers (this is not what happens now).<\/span>\n
