Organisation of knowledge in the cultural field: the Cultural Development
Database - a tool for international cultural cooperation

In recent years, the interest in international cooperation has found its
expression in the spread of cultural networks. Today networks dominate
the way cultural professionals operate, bringing together people in common
pursuit of interest. Networks vary in form, from technical networks such
as Internet to different forms of associations of professionals, and
very often these two get united in different virtual networks. The impact
that new information technologies and Internet have made on all aspects
of our society as well as on the cultural field has been remarkable. It
has changed the way people work and get information they need. Internet,
as a convenient media for networking, has been used by many cultural networks
and virtual platforms for national culture. The integration of Internet
with information management tools, such as databases, is presently well
developed and it
has enabled better dissemination of the information to the intended
users.
Culturelink Network's efforts
in development of the Internet based information system for supporting
international cultural cooperation, namely the integrated Culturelink Database
on Cultural Development and Policy, will be presented.
Papers held at the conference "Knowledge Networking in Cultural
Studies" are published in
