There is now a widespread acceptance of the importance of data standards and three key platforms for this, the event-monument-source data model, the high level MIDAS (Lee 1998) standard and the national reference data terminology lists (INSCRIPTION) have already been agreed by HERs and NMR in England/Wales. These high level standards are available on the web site for use by any HERs. No comparable work on data standards has taken place in Scotland, but agreement to co-operate on these is included in the Co-operation Statement between SMRs and RCAHMS (RCAHMS 2005). More detailed data standards are being developed in Scotland under the auspices of the ASPIRE project ([http://www.aspire-resource.info]) and the Scottish SMR Forum.

Statutory status, the proposed portal for the historic environment (the Heritage Gateway, a NMRE initiative in collaboration with ALGAO and IHBC see A.2.8), the trend towards integration of archaeology, the built environment and biological records is in line with national government policy towards modernisation. The ''Modernising Government White Paper'' (HMSO 1999) set out a timetable for government departments to deliver services to the public which 'join up' functions currently served by different departments (for Scotland, see [Open Scotland|http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2004/02/18979/33552], and also the [PastMap|http://jura.rcahms.gov.uk/PASTMAP/start.jsp] project that provides access to the Scottish National Archaeological and Architectural Datasets that are maintained by Historic Scotland, RCAHMS, Scottish Natural Heritage and some SMRs). Government departments are required to develop.a timetable for implementing electronic services that are available for 24 hours each day. These requirements give increased impetus to HERs to enhance their databases, adopting GIS, digitising collections and meeting the ''Benchmarks for Good Practice'' (Chitty 2002) to provide greater public access in line with the Government's stated objective of access for all, not just a few. Overall, these pressures, with the moves towards regional structures by national government, will pose the question of whether the.current structure of HER provision can adequately resource the needs of a more 'joined-up' approach to the historic environment.

Statutory status proposed for England, the proposed portal for the historic environment (the Heritage Gateway, an NMR initiative in collaboration with ALGAO and IHBC), Pastmap in Scotland and Coflein and Historic Wales) and the greater interoperability being provided by FISH through their interoperability toolkit will continue to open up new challenges and opportunities for HERs in the future.
