The first goal is development of a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) regarding value and role of the arts in the Internet. Tasks for this include development of a document summarizing current issues regarding the arts community Internet with an accompanying survey designed to identify needs and concerns from the arts and humanities community. Survey results will be used to develop the FAQ. The second goal is to define tools for artists' organizations on the Internet which will focus on creating, viewing, and storage formats for arts humanities resources. This will include contributions regarding text, sound, still and motion images. It will address different operating systems, glossary of basic terminology and a bibliography. The third goal is to further define issues surrounding copyright and intellectual property, funding, and other support for arts humanities participation and any other needs identified by the survey.
