Lineage

This dataset is a product of the Deeds Management System. Estates, Forest Planning, Mapping & GeoData and ESRI (UK) Ltd have developed the Deed Management Extension. It has been designed to: · enable the Mapping & Geographic Information Units to interrogate and maintain the Forestry Commission's land holdings records · provide land ownership data to Estates staff with GIS · produce update polygons to maintain legal boundary information in the Forest District's 'Forester' GIS system The Deed Management System (DMS) application is packaged as an ArcMap 9.2 extension. It links ArcMap GIS and ORACLE (a relational database management system, or RDMS). Spatial information (polygons covering acquisitions and disposals of land areas, FC accesses, FC servitudes, legal boundaries) and deeds database information (attributes) are all managed within ArcMap 9.2. The Acquisition Product was produced by taking the acquistion codes (A/*) from the DMS 'Ownership' data set and adding the 'acquistion other' A/OT from the DMS 'Deeds' data set (predominantly wayleave and access acquisitions). All Disposal transactions were removed.
