The hypermedia is extremely well appropriated as an information system in the remote sensing branch, especially due to the visual style of presentation it provides. The World Wide Web offers a promising opportunity to create distributed virtual libraries. The Remote Sensing Virtual Library has been set up by collecting a very comprehensive index covering the entire remote sensing branch on the WWW server at the Technical Research Centre of Finland. This index comprises four hundred links to WWW servers of research institutes, enterprises, societies and image archives maintaining remote sensing information resources. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the Remote Sensing Virtual Library is http:/ /www.vtt.fi/aut/ava/rs/virtual/. 1 INTRODUCTION The World Wide Web (WWW) is a well-known and rapidly expanding hypermedia in the international educational com- munity. Many research institutes and enterprises possessing advanced facilities of information technology have shown in- creasing interest in hypermedia in their own strategies of mar- keting, public relations and information gathering. Particu- larly, institutes and companies offering and exploiting services in the remote sensing branch can be included in this category. Hypermedia is extremely well appropriated as an information system in the remote sensing branch, especially due to the visual style of presentation it provides. Hypermedia on the Internet offers a promising opportunity to create distributed virtual libraries. By clicking on links gathered onto the virtual library it is possible to access a huge amount of information on the user's own workstation. From the user's point of view those information resources seem to be accessed on one server, although in fact they are physically distributed on several servers all over the world. 2 WORLD WIDE WEB VIRTUAL LIBRARY One of the most comprehensive and well-known distributed subject catalogue is the World Wide Web Virtual Library (URL: http:/ /www.w3.org/vl/Overview.html) maintained by volunteers and coordinated by Arthur Secret at W3 Con- sortium. The W3 Consortium exists to develop com- mon standards for the evolution of the World Wide Web (http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/). It is an industry con- sortium run by the Laboratory for Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The WWW Virtual Library Project was started at CERN in Switzerland in 1991. At the moment there are more than one hundred subjects listed on the Virtual Library catalogue from 'Aeronautics and Aeronautical Engineering' to 'Zoos'. In the beginning of the year 1995 the Remote Sensing Group at the Technical Research Centre of Finland started to col- lect a remote sensing index which was added to the WWW Virtual Library in May, 1995. The objective of the work was to define and create a clear structure and a comprehensive scope for the Remote Sensing Virtual Library on the WWW. 133 An important goal was the clear and easy maintenance of the index. If the Virtual Library will get popular it will serve as one part of an international network of information exchange, and help the progress of institutional relations for benefit of the international remote sensing community. 3 ORGANISATION OF THE REMOTE SENSING INDEX The Remote Sensing Virtual Library has been set up by col- lecting a very comprehensive index covering the entire remote sensing branch on the WWW server at the Technical Research Centre of Finland. This index comprises about four hundred links to WWW servers of research institutes, enterprises, so- cieties and image archives maintaining remote sensing infor- mation resources. The Uniform Resource Locator (URL) of the Virtual Library is http:/ /www.vtt.fi/aut/ava/rs/virtual/. The tasks of the creation of the Remote Sensing Virtual Li- brary were defined as follows: e To define and outline the topics and the index of the Remote Sensing Virtual Library e To create the Remote Sensing index by searching and collecting the URL addresses needed for the links e To develop a flexible and easy-to-use procedure of maintenance for the index e To register the collected index on the World Wide Web Virtual Library. In the defining process of the Remote Sensing catalogue three main titles were refined as follows: e What's New e Organizations e Other Remote Sensing Information. These items were organized as three separate HyperText Markup Language (HTML) files accordingly. The item "What's New' is meant for those regular users who just like to see recently added links. Under the title 'Organizations' International Archives of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing. Vol. XXXI, Part B6. Vienna 1996
