Workshop on Metadata Models for Digital Archiving of Intangible and Experiential Cultural Entities

December 4, 2023

to be held as a part of

International Forum on Data, Information, and Knowledge for Resilient and Trustworthy Digital Societies 

(IFDIK 2023), December 4 to 7, 2023, Taipei

    Digital archiving of cultural entities started from digitization of tangible cultural heritage objects, which was called digital libraries and digital museums in the 1990s. Since then, digital archiving of cultural entities has been expanded in various new domains, such as intangible cultural heritage, performing arts, popular culture, natural and man-made disasters, and social events. Parallel to this expansion, a large variety of born-digital artifacts have been created in various cultural domains such as video games and media arts, which should be digitally archived as well.

    Thus, there are many new types of cultural entities which should be digitally archived. However, the metadata standards used for cultural digital collections were developed primarily for those digital objects created by digitizing tangible or analog cultural objects held by memory institutions. To meet the needs of standards for the digital archiving of intangible and experiential cultural entities, this workshop aims to create a forum to discuss digital archiving and metadata issues for various cultural entities in new domains, such as intangible cultural heritage, video games, animations, comics (Manga), performing arts, social events, and disasters.

    The basic question of this workshop – How can we model the intangible and experiential cultural entities for digital archiving? This workshop calls for participants who have interests in digital archiving and metadata in our rapidly growing information environment.
