The artwork is the core piece of information that makes up the
Internet-Art-Marketing system. Artworks can be found on broadcasted
web sites as well as the gallery's/artist's website. Since viewers
can find the artwork from these websites we created the extra link
feature to allow viewers to find more information about the artwork.
The gallery/artist may have and already existing website, have an
e-commerce shopping cart so their art may be purchased online or
have relevant information featured on the Internet. The extra link
feature was designed to leverage these situations.
Each artwork has default links that guarantee that a prospective
client can find out more information about the gallery/artist. There
is a link to the gallery's/artist's website that the system generates.
The email address of the gallery/artist is also on each artwork
description.
The extra link feature consists of 3 web addresses with an alternate
description for each. These links must be written out completely
such as "http://www.otherwebsite.com/artwork1.html" or
mailto:myotheraddress@otherwebsite.com.
Another use of the links is when the artwork is available on for
purchase through an e-commerce system (such as paypal.com). One
link can be used to add the artwork to the shopping cart and another
link can be used to open the shopping cart.
