Top SchoolPhil Carlisle is a Senior Data Standards Specialist with over 8 years' experience leading data standards work at Historic England and prior roles across English Heritage and the Royal Commission. He specialises in developing and maintaining controlled vocabularies and core data standards for built and buried heritage, combining an archaeology background (BA Hons, University of Nottingham) with deep domain governance expertise. As Chair of the FISH Terminology Working Group and Secretary of CIDOC’s Archaeological Sites Working Group, he convenes cross-sector stakeholders across museums, archives and government to deliver interoperable metadata. Phil is known for translating complex heritage requirements into practical, auditable standards and tooling that enable consistent data exchange at scale. Quietly memorable: he makes clear he is not the Worms game developer, reflecting a dry sense of humour alongside meticulous professional rigour.
