Description: Brian Roberts and Stuart Wrathmell’s An Atlas of Rural Settlement in England is a key point of reference for understanding the development of rural settlement in England. The maps in the original, printed Atlas were produced digitally, but were created as graphics files which cannot be used in GIS or similar software. With the key maps from the Atlas in GIS-enabled form, it becomes possible to look at Roberts and Wrathmell's materials in new ways. An article by Andrew Lowerre, in the journal Landscapes, presents some exploratory analyses and re-visualisations of the data. The greatest benefits of having the Atlas materials in a GIS-compatible form will come from combining the Atlas GIS with other spatial data. For example, data created as part of Historic England’s National Mapping Programme can be used to examine past field patterns or evidence of settlement not recorded on the source maps Roberts and Wrathmell used. The Atlas GIS will also help provide a national framework for Historic England’s work on Historic Landscape Characterisation. Materials from research focused on regional or local scales can be more easily related to the national picture. Some examples include Historic England’s work on Protected Landscapes or from the Whittlewood Project. The Atlas of Rural Settlement in England GIS data collection is made up of a number of different elements: Spatial and attribute data, in Esri Shapefile and Google/Open Geospatial Consortium KMZ Text and figures for the settlement province and sub-province descriptions from the original printed Atlas (in PDF format) ArcGIS ‘layer’ definition files and an ArcGIS map document – compatible with ArcGIS versions 9.0 and above – depicting the shapefiles in the data collection; these symbolisations were used when creating the KMZ files UK GEMINI version 2.1-compliant discovery level metadata in XML format for the spatial and attribute data A data dictionary (in PDF format) detailing attribute field names, suggested aliases and descriptions of the types of data held in each field Documentation (in PDF format) detailing the nature and limitations of the data in the data collection and the processes by which the data and accompanying metadata were created
