Recent years have seen much greater co-operation between the key national organisations with an interest in the development of English [HERs|Glossary#HER|target='_blank'] ([English Heritage|Glossary#English Heritage|target='_blank'], [ALGAO|Glossary#ALGAO UK|target='_blank'], [RCAHMW|Glossary#RCAHMW|target='_blank'], [RCAHMS|Glossary#RCAHMS|target='_blank'], [IHBC|Glossary#IHBC|target='_blank'], [DCMS|Glossary#DCMS|target='_blank'] and [MLA|Glossary#MLA|target='_blank']) since RCHME, ALGAO and English Heritage signed a co-operation statement containing agreed key principles governing [SMR|Glossary#SMR|target='_blank'] development in 1998 ([RCHME, ALGAO and English Heritage 1998|Bibliography#RCHME ALGAO and English Heritage 1998|target='_blank']). The statement set out a shared vision of a national network of heritage records maintained to common standards and accessible to a wide variety of users. Since 1998, this partnership has underpinned a number of projects, including the SMR assessment ([Baker 1999a|Bibliography#Baker 1999a|target='_blank']), and preparation of a framework document for the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) to guide bids from HERs for funding, recently updated as [‘Unlocking Our Past' (English Heritage and ALGAO 2005)|Bibliography#English Heritage and ALGAO 2005|target='_blank'] .

In England, English Heritage, ALGAO, IHBC, DCMS and MLA meet regularly in an HER Working Party which has taken the lead in such initiatives as the first edition of this manual as well as its revision, in the ''Benchmarks for Good Practice'' ([Chitty 2002|Bibliography#Chitty 2002|target='_blank']), ''Resource needs for SMRs and UADs to reach the first stage benchmarks'' [(Baker, Chitty and Edwards 2004)|Bibliography#Baker, Chitty and Edwards 2004|target='_blank'] and a framework document for Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) support for HER Outreach, [''Unlocking Britain's Past'' (HLF 1999)|Bibliography#HLF 1999|target='_blank'] and [''Unlocking Our Past'' (English Heritage and ALGAO 2005)|Bibliography#English Heritage and ALGAO 2005|target='_blank']. The challenge for the future is for the partners to successfully influence both national and local government to provide greater stability and increased resources to support the further development of HERs.

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|Glossary#MIDAS|target='_blank'] ([Lee 1998|Bibliography#Lee 1998|target='_blank']) standard and the national reference data terminology lists ([INSCRIPTION|Glossary#INSCRIPTION|target='_blank']) have already been agreed by HERs, English Heritage and NMRW. 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)|Bibliography#RCAHMS 2005|target='_blank']. More detailed data standards are being developed in Scotland under the auspices of the [ASPIRE|Glossary#ASPIRE|target='_blank'] project ([http://www.aspire-resource.info|http://www.aspire-resource.info|target='_blank']) and the Scottish SMR Forum.

Many archaeologists have long recognised the need for a framework for regional archaeological research and are responding positively to the English Heritage recommendation for the publication of [research frameworks|Glossary#Research frameworks|target='_blank']. These documents provide a structure within which decisions can be taken on the protection, management and recording of the archaeological resource at local levels and relate national strategies to those needs. Recent examples are the archaeological research frameworks for East Anglia ([Glazebrook 1997|Bibliography#Glazebrook 1997|target='_blank']; [Brown and Glazebrook 2000|Bibliography#Brown and Glazebrook 2000|target='_blank']) and the Greater Thames Estuary ([Williams and Brown 1999|Bibliography#Williams and Brown 1999|target='_blank']) which provide an assessment of the archaeological resource of these regions and highlight areas where HER enhancements or links between neighbouring HERs need to be developed. In 2005 English Heritage published a national Research Framework ([English Heritage 2005a|Bibliography#English Heritage 2005a|target='_blank']; [English Heritage 2005c|Bibliography#English Heritage 2005c|target='_blank']). Wales is similarly engaged in producing a national framework and the current statement can be seen at [http://www.archaeoleg.org.uk/index.html|http://www.archaeoleg.org.uk/index.html|target='_blank']. Scotland is presently at an earlier stage of the process although the need for frameworks is recognised.
