.museum
The Museum Community's Internet Domain
A restricted,
top-level domain name (TLD) has been established as .museum to provide
a distinct identity on the Internet that transcends traditional museum information
exchange venues.
- Sharing A Common
Principle
.museum registrants engage in knowledge sharing and broaden access
to their most valued cultural and scientific treasures through dissemination
of those resources across the World Wide Web.
- Providing Added
Value
.museum registration assures that individual museums have a place on
the Internet and receive an authentic and meaningful identity. The new domain
will put all museums - regardless of expertise, size of collections of level
of funding - on equal footing for opportunities on the Internet.
- Having A Voice
Through membership in the Museum Domain Management Association (MuseDoma)
registrants of the .museum TLD will have the opportunity to voice concerns
and offer suggestions for establishment of the domain's management process.
- Technology Meets
Culture
By securing a .museum TLD, museums from all reaches of the globe will
benefit from the resources Internet technology provides and, eventually, a
suite of services designed to help the global museum community as a whole.
- History In The
Making
Registrants of .museum have the unique opportunity to take part in
the first sponsored TLD for the cultural and scientific communities.
