“…Besides CIDOC CRM, other cultural heritage models have been developed, such as the Pang Wang Festival Ontology [24], the Cultural Heritage Repository [25] and the Balinese Kulkul Ontology [26]. Sitthisarn et al [27] have developed an ontology for folk wisdom and intangible cultural heritage in Phatthalung Province.…”

et al. 2020

Terengganu brassware is a local craft product with high artistic value and traditional craftsmanship that involves a lot of creativity and elaborate artistry. This cultural heritage is in danger of disappearing because the current younger generation lacks interest, creativity and artistic skills to continue the craftsmanship. Therefore, gathering detailed knowledge of the craft from ageing practitioners can preserve the heritage. This paper reports the study on brassware intangible heritage knowledge base development using an ontological approach. The ontology modelling used Ontology Development 101. Content validation result by experts found that the brassware ontology is complete, consistent, concise, precise and clear. Evaluation results show that the experts agreed on content representation (mean ≥ 3.80), and the ontology meets all the quality criteria (mean ≥ 4.03). The brassware craft ontology contributes to the intangible heritage preservation effort for one of the almost extinct local culture and practices. This intangible heritage knowledge base can be applied for the development of semantic search, mobile and gaming applications to attract and disseminate heritage information to young people. Additionally, the ontological design can serve as a guide for the design and development of a knowledge base for other types of heritage.

“…Its "CIDOC CRM provides definitions and formal descriptions for the implicit and explicit concepts, and their relationship involved in the work of the documentation information of cultural heritage, which reaches a common understanding of the information of cultural heritage through a general, extendable semantic framework so that the information communicated and the established information systems share a common language." [6] However, entities and properties defined by CIDOC CRM are written in English, and they are not appropriate for describing Korean cultural heritage. Especially in terms of the properties used in the ontology, the system is unnatural for our purposes because the passive form is not often used in the Korean language.…”

“…Before the construction of the ontology, analysis of information pertaining to cultural heritage is important in order to limit the scope of the construction of the domain ontology [6]. Figure 5, an example of Korean tea culture history, shows the construction of a 5-dimension ontology incorporating actionable information, time information, actor information, place information, and thing information.…”

In recent years, the amount of digital content related to cultural heritage resources has been growing to such a degree that it can now be easily published and distributed. However, such digital content is limited to material manifestations, such as monuments and objects that have been preserved over time. According to UNESCO's definition, "cultural heritage encompasses living cultural heritage, living expressions and the traditions transmitted from generation to generation, and constantly recreated by communities and groups, in response to their environment and history." Therefore, not only historical cultural heritage but also cultural items that represent current culture are essential to describing living cultural heritage. Living cultural heritage also includes intangible heritages such as practices, expressions and knowledge, as well as tangible heritages such as objects, artifacts and cultural spaces. Taking Korean tea culture as a case study, the present statement of intentions aims to develop a semantic wiki for living cultural heritage to collect and interlink various kinds of cultural heritage resources from the past to the present to show their connections. The project will collect cultural heritage resources from the public, experts, and stakeholders in open collaboration and interlink all resources using an ontological approach. At the same time, the project will create communities that lead to productive discussions between multiple agents, giving a path to allow the discovery of more information on other websites related to cultural heritage.

The trend of multilingualism in the web environment has put new demands on the digitization of cultural heritage. However, minority languages in cultural heritage have received little attention in China. This study selects traditional Tibetan festivals, a representative minority cultural heritage in China. Based on constructing a Chinese‐Tibetan bilingual ontology, the cultural and tourism data of Tibet are linked. By further constructing a knowledge graph, a Chinese‐Tibetan Bilingual Tibetan cultural service platform with traditional Tibetan festivals as the core is established.
