Presumably the reason for including the HER number in the search facility is so that people can be referred to/go back to specific online records
That reference is a simple url... (ie, I don't tell you to go to topic 2224 page 3 I just give you the url. ) after all, this is the interweb
Though I can see you point.
I also should say, neither did I mean it is a educational tool with HER data attached, it is quite the reverse, it is the HER, which when cleverly filtered, interrogated and produced, can be an education resource as well, indeed it can be anything that a designer and developer can make of it.
WE call it mashups, where we take a lump of data, and can use it in several ways, utilising different web 2.0 technolgies. "Data does not just have to be data" I know only too well the trouble with an SMR... a nettle that has yet to be grasped firmly.. PastMap 2 anyone? or with the current system, I wanted to look at all the Hillforts in my area for a project, I can't.. simple as that... I have to do it through a pure text system, then take each grid ref, then plot it myself... now the info is there on PastMap (admitadly an National System) the grid ref, the type of site, the details... blah blah... indeed it is one of the most simple systems to make ... etc...
Info .... its all about info
