abstract: RCAHMS maintains the national database and hosts the national collections of the archaeological and built heritage of Scotland, including its maritime waters. In the last twenty years, the database has evolved from a paper-based system to an Oracle database and GIS with well-established online search facilities (Canmore) and partnership applications (SWISH and PASTMAP). As RCAHMS approaches its centenary in 2008, new strategies are required not only to manage increasing volumes of information from professional organisations and amateur groups, but to engage the wider public not only through data mediation and the presentation of information already held in the database, but also by encouraging their active participation. This paper outlines current initiatives at RCAHMS to encourage data standards including the development of a Scottish thesaurus of monuments and the endorsement of the ASPIRE protocol and OASIS application. The database is also evolving to develop the Events-Monuments-Collections model.
