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'].

INSCRIPTION, provided by the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage is the definitive source for information about all the available national standards. It is a collection of wordlists and thesauri developed by various heritage bodies that are recommended for use in conjunction with ''MIDAS'' units of information.

''MIDAS'' and INSCRIPTION have been developed to work together. For each case where ''MIDAS'' recommends the use of a controlled terminology, a suitable indexing terminology has been developed by one or more of the partners in the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage, and details included in INSCRIPTION.
These worlists and thesauri are recommended for use in conjunction with MIDAS Heritage units of information. For each case where MIDAS Heritage recommends the use of a controlled terminology, a suitable indexing terminology has been developed by one or more of the partners in the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage. Details about each of the available wordlists and thesauri, along with downloadable versions (in either PDF and CSV format) can be found on the [FISH website|http://fishforum.weebly.com/download-fish-terminology.html|target='_blank'].

Interoperability is the ability to reuse data created in one software application in another. It is essential if efficient sharing of data between HERs and their users is to become a reality. Interoperability relies on data standards that are understood and shared within the HER community such as ''MIDAS'' and INSCRIPTION, plus technical standards to support the creation of data files that different software packages will be able to process.

To provide HER managers and their IT advisors with the technical tools needed to make interoperability possible the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage have developed a ‘toolkit’ of protocols and formats aimed at HERs and their technical advisors. It is based upon ''MIDAS'' and incorporates the HER benchmark Level 1 standard. Online validation of data against INSCRIPTION controlled terminologies is supported.

Whereas ''MIDAS'' and INSCRIPTION are aimed at HER staff, the Toolkit is aimed at IT specialists and software developers. HER staff should familiarise themselves with the functions that the Toolkit supports, but are advised to contact their IT support staff for discussion of how the Toolkit might be implemented in their systems.
