	danceCODES Session led by Vera MALETIC & Roberta SHAW DanceCodes was conceived by Vera Maletic and A. William Smith. The database was created by Robbie Shaw who will demonstrate the DanceCODES shell. Vera Maletic will discuss issues of data gathering and presentation. DanceCODES is a free software which provides dancers, choreographers, archivists, producers and scholars with a simple way to digitally archive works of dance. DanceCODES is a pre-programmed shell which organizes archival materials into an interactive, non-linear, multi-media presentation, which can include Video, Still Pictures, Text, Audio and Notation Scores. The product is ideal for those whose knowledge is limited in multi-media development, but have the need to create archives that are digital, easily retrievable, and layed-out in a presentational fashion. To create a danceCODES CD-ROM or DVD-ROM users need only digitize and edit video, scan photos and use Adobe Photoshop to design visual content; the programming, layout and interactivity of danceCODES is already complete.	< list
