	Artcyclopedia the fine art search engine / "John Malyon, the creator of Artcyclopedia, says that he wants this site to become 'the definitive and most effective guide to museum-quality fine art on the Internet.' It is certainly true that a lot has been accomplished in the short amount of time since this website first went online in February 1999. The number of entries has steadily grown to 80,000 works by 7000 different artists on 700 leading arts sites. The criterion for inclusion in the Artcyclopedia is that the artist must be included in an arts museum collection somewhere in the world. The site's best search is by artist, but the user can also search for artworks, art museums, or browse by movement or medium. An artist search brings up links to online museums, image archives and articles about the artist. There are the ubiquitous links to Amazon.com and Allposters.com to purchase related merchandise, but otherwise the site is mercifully banner-free and the author pledges to keep it that way"--Best free reference Web sites 2001

	Australian National Placenames Survey ANPS : [home page] "The aim of the Australian National Placenames Survey (ANPS) is to prepare a national register of geographical names. The National Register will be a supplement to the National Gazetteer, and will be a database constructed on recognised principles for the research and documentation of history, geography, linguistics, cultural knowledge, surveying and mapping. It will record all known Australian names, documenting their pronunciation, generic class, status (gazetted, obsolete, non-gazetted, sensitive, disputed etc.), origin, meaning, history, cultural significance (of both name and site), and map reference and location. The database will enable the production of a series of place name dictionaries, both local and national, over the next few decades"--The Project screen

	Compendium of pesticide common names "For purposes of trade, registration and legislation, and for use in popular and scientific publications, pesticides need names that are short, distinctive, non-proprietary and widely-accepted. Systematic chemical names are rarely short and are not convenient for general use, and so standards bodies assign common names to pesticides. More than 1000 of these pesticide names have been assigned by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This Compendium is believed to be the only place where all of the ISO-approved names of chemical pesticides are listed. It also includes approved names from national bodies for pesticides that do not have ISO names."
