ORGANISING HERITAGE KNOWLEDGE
Heritage knowledge is vitally important for national and cultural identity, sense of history and of belonging, and to interpret the past. It helps us to understand how to navigate the present and plan for the future. Historical and cultural knowledge is embodied in artefacts, persons, places, and documents, and it is curated by national institutions, archives, museums, research institutes, historians and art galleries. It poses special challenges and opportunities for knowledge organisation and knowledge management professionals. Knowledge organisation for cultural heritage is not simply about content, information, interfaces and metadata. It needs to help us tell stories with heritage pieces and connect those stories into a larger whole.
