OASIS Archive project aimed at developing a system for the universal presentation of Media Art works independent of location. The goal was to establish a user-friendly search system in order to ensure the preservation and availability (sustainability) of cultural heritage in the field of Media Art. The metadata system interlinking databases of all participating institutions can be accessed by individual users (both researchers and general public) through an on-line interface, by multimedia archive servers engaged in exchange within a distributed system and by various play out media. Access permission is scalable depending on whether the access takes place within the system or from the outside.
