The OASIS project was developed in response to the need to provide a single unified index to archaeological investigations, a means of accessing the associated grey literature and as an online method by which the index could be maintained. The index relates largely to developer funded fieldwork, but also allows the indexing of fieldwork undertaken by local societies, volunteers and academic institutions. A major achievement of the project was to integrate the [AIP|Glossary#AIP|target='_blank'] records with the Excavation Index to provide a single concorded list, in 1998. The concordance programme delivered a fully unified record for archaeological interventions in England.
The OASIS data capture form was originally designed to help in the flow of information from data producers, such as contracting units and community groups, through to local and national data managers, such as HERs and NMRs. The resulting information can be validated by the relevant NMR (English Heritage's Excavation Index and the RCAHMS' CANMORE records) or HER and is passed onto the ADS for inclusion in its online searchable catalogue ArchSearch (http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archsearch/browser.jsf) and either provide direct web links through to the grey literature reports or at least act as a pointer to the physical holding place of a report or archive. Grey literature reports are also being made available directly through the ADS Grey Literature Library (http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archives/view/greylit/), where there are now over 30,000 unpublished reports available.
