If one considers the current fields of work in sport information technology under the viewpoint of scientific papers and publications in Germany, clear centres of emphasis become evident. The largest number of papers given concentrate on the multimedia area, followed by the setting up models and data bases. Here sport information technology has concentrated, fully to right, on a very topical area of education and research, even though it is apparent that the designation of concepts in the "multimedia", meanwhile known as "new media", leans very clearly on the terminology of "e-learning". This is not only true for the international use of language, but meanwhile also for all German speaking peoples. Faced with the large thrusts of development and the strong increased interest in e-learning, the interest in the connections between scientific basics in sport information technology and commercial interests is naturally large. There are, however, other fields in which such a connection is to be observed. For this reason this paper mainly concentrates on the topics of the settingup of models and e-learning.
