  5. HEIRNET HEIRs are developing in numbers and complexity, stimulated by rapidly advancing technology and selective funding opportunities, but with a lack of mutual awareness that is inhibiting useful co-operation and co-ordination. This perception prompted HEIRNET to commission a project mapping the landscape of information systems. Its brief was to identify all the key systems, their defined purposes and perceived roles and functions, in order to help reveal gaps and overlaps, and where existing information might be reused for other purposes such as education. It would also be the basis for a strategic vision of future development for HEIRs, enabling access and enhancing public benefit.
