Abstract
 DEAL and the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Project Web GIS Track: Environmental Management Author(s): Amelia Pickering, John McInnes, Robert Pedley The UK's Department for Trade and Industry (DTI) set up a series of eight Strategic Environment Assessments (SEAs). The SEA process is designed to assess the economic and environmental implications of further licensing of the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS) for oil and gas exploration and production. The DTI has two objectives for data collected during the SEA process: a) To provide simple, easy access to the datasets that have been collected to date via the DEAL Web site. b) To collect all the raw and interpreted datasets and published reports and store them in one repository. The British Geological Survey (BGS) developed a methodology to collate and store SEA data and a new data model to provide access to it via the DEAL Web site. The SEA Web GIS provides a gateway to data in the repository and is designed to promote and facilitate access to data generated by the SEA process.
