Abstract:

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the WWW, writes: “The Web is more a social creation than a technical one. I designed it for a social effect - to help people work together - and not as a technical toy. The ultimate goal of the Web is to support and improve our weblike existence in the world.” skills.fp3 <http://medweb.unibe.ch/skills/> is an editable Internet-database with the aim to collect internet-contents (exact: links to internet-contents) about the medical physical examination and make this available to any interested people. The language of the database is english. At this moment (Jan. 2000) are 18 different medias available via the skills.fp3-database, mainly QuickTime- and Real-Media Videos. Everyone is free to contribute content to this database.

 

Here's a short list of what we had until the end of January 2000:

 

1. Head & Neck

 

2. Shoulder & Arm & Hand

 

3. Thorax & Thoracic Spine

 

4. Abodmen & Lumbar Spine

 

5. Pelvis

 

6. Hip & Leg & Foot

 

7. Systemic (no location)

 

Benefit in Attending Session:

The attendee will realize how easy to use editable-web-databases already are - and get to know one, that probably suit hes needs as medical doctor who sometimes has to refresh his skills about physical examinations.
