While decisions concerning information sharing have been reached, unfortunately there are still a number of problems which must be considered regarding the present state of Japanese home pages in general before they can be put into operation. These include flunkeyism regarding the use of network and digital data, a lack of originality, and limited awareness of the obligation to respect legal rights. What is needed is a more widespread understanding of copyright laws, as well as guidance in the field of intellectual training in Internet literacy. While questioning the management of art-related sites, including, of course, my own, I also recognize their immense significance as a source of educational materials of art culture. In fact, the making of such web-sites has resulted in a place where a synthesis can be realized in various fields of art education (I cut some words here) and intellectual training. Images are indispensable to these art sites, but image management is extremely difficult. Through skillful fusing of graphic information, digital information can be stored and used effectively. Generally speaking, the conceptualization of virtual art museums on authorized links and the like will aid future research, while new research into and appreciation of the "scientification" of art will result in an in-depth study of the very nature of art itself. The meaning of art-related sites can be found in a new form of research enriched by electronic information, digital information and in the potential for the formation of a world of electronic information for art.
