The Heritage Council launches Heritage Maps
Heritage Maps has been developed to allow users to visualize an range of heritage data in the context of other information such as landuse planning. It has been designed as a tool for the personal investigation of heritage issues.
The “Heritage Maps” Project started in spring 2012; it is co-ordinated by the Heritage Council, working in partnership with the local authority heritage officers and builds on the work carried out for the National Biodiversity Data Centre. The project partners will expand to 25 Local Authorities in 2014. Linkages have been made to other projects within the Irish Spatial Data Infrastructure e.g. Myplan. Other initiatives are being developed with the Discovery Programme, the National Roads Authority and the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage.
Heritage Maps was developed for the Heritage Council by Compass Informatics. We are very grateful to the local authorities, and other state agencies and departments for allowing their data to be included.
