  model.

  and multiple levels of access.
• It will include standard data fields that will be
  common to all States and Regions, yet will allow
  Local Participants to create additional fields,
  according to their particular needs.
• It will also include a sophisticated form
  generation program that will allow additional
  data capture and surveys as the system builds.
• The system will have to be able to capture all
  types of mixed media. This includes graphics,
  pictures, audio, video and data.

System Design
The most unique element of the system resides in
the fact that it will be designed to serve the
needs of distinct cultural sectors/communities on
the basis of information received from the
sectors/communities concerned. In a fast
changing cultural landscape, the system is
designed to remain plastic enough to evolve
alongside its public.
