The target goals: to cover the domains which have not yet been studied (temporary or permanent on-line groups such as geocachers, SF and pet-owners, patients with serious or incurable medical problems, etc.), to characterize the communication models, the spreading of information and lore in a group or virtual community; to observe communication between professionals and non-professionals (medical professionals versus patients and their kin; astronomers versus amateurs; anonymous web echoes in public forums); to carry out theoretical-practical research in the field of folklore databases and portals; to promote Estonian local and international research in the field.
