This section describes the purpose of the central standard for historic environment recording (MIDAS Heritage) and the use of standardised terminology in its application.
MIDAS Heritage is a British cultural heritage standard for recording information on buildings, monuments, archaeological sites, shipwrecks and submerged landscapes, parks and gardens, battlefields, artefacts and ecofacts. The data standard suggests the minimum level of information needed for recording heritage assets and covers the procedures involved in understanding, protecting and managing these assets. It also provides guidelines on how to support effective sharing of knowledge, data retrieval and long-term preservation of data.
The use of standardised terminology alongside MIDAS Heritage allows consistent indexing practice which facilitates accurate and fast information retrieval. The main terminology used by HERs was originally held together as a national heritage reference dataset known as ['INSCRIPTION'|Glossary#INSCRIPTION|target='_blank'] which comprised of a series of [wordlists|Glossary#Wordlist|target='_blank'] and [thesauri|Glossary#Thesaurus|target='_blank'] developed by various heritage bodies, both national and regional. These word lists and thesauri are now managed and maintained by the national heritage Organisations and the [FISH Terminology Working Group|http://fishforum.weebly.com/fish-terminology-working-groups.html|target='_blank'].
Further information about these are available online via the [Forum on Information Standards in Heritage (FISH) website|http://fishforum.weebly.com/|target='_blank'].
