HSPD Objectives:

The primary objective of the HSPD information management project
was to develop "a database by conservators for conservators"
(Battle, 1988).  In addition to this conceptual foundation, the
primary design parameters for the HSPD required that as a
database system, it be based on the current NPS DBMS standard,
"dBASE III PLUS", that it be flexible enough to relate to other
NPS databases, and that it be easy to use.  In addition, the HSPD
system developer expressed the hope that the HSPD could be a
"smart" system capable of growth through continuing user
contributions of expertise and case study information (Battle,
1988).
