Hard exclusive measurements with a polarised target at HERMES

Hard exclusive measurements at HERMES provide access to the information framework of Generalised Parton Distributions. This framework has the potential to provide a thorough, phenomenological description of the nucleon and aspects of it can be constrained by recent measurements made at the HERMES experiment at DESY. Consideration of meson production allows access to some GPDs, whilst observables from the deeply virtual Compton scattering process can allow a constraint on model parameters which are directly connected to the total angular momentum contribution of up and down quarks to the nucleon's spin
