Description of Working Group:



In building a bridge between the Internet Engineering community and the



Humanities and Arts' Research and Engineering communities, the HARTS



Working Group has identified three goals to be pursued. 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.
