Lineage: Estates, Forest Planning, Mapping and GeoData and ESRI (UK) Ltd have developed the Deed Management Extension. It has been designed to: enable the Mapping and Geographic Information Units to interrogate and maintain the NRW land holdings records, provide land ownership data to Estates staff with GIS, produce update polygons to maintain legal boundary information in NRWs 'Forester' GIS system.

The Deed Management System 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, NRW accesses, NRW servitudes, legal boundaries) and deeds database information (attributes) are all managed within ArcMap 9.2.

Since the creation of NRW in 2013, NRW have maintained the data in the Forester recreation module.
