A Huge Hypermedia Database

The Internet can be seen as a huge database providing a constantly changing web of information to all its users. Some different services are available for most Internet users already today:

There are WWW-servers providing excerpts of CD-productions for free, notably IUMA, (the Internet Underground Music Archive) and some universities. Also computer software, sample libraries, and MIDI file archives, useful for the production of music, have appeared of the WWW lately. Basically this can be seen as a promising complement to the existing channels, but especially for ``narrow'' areas, like serious EAM, the global coverage of the network can provide a substantial audience also for rather unconventional pieces of art work.
