“…Over the years, numerous ontological and metadata representations have been proposed to allow further investigation, studies, and research in dance heritage, e.g., [44], [53], [58], [92], and [102]. An extended research about metadata in digital folklore collections, and the main metadata standards to represent cultural heritage collections is given by Lourdi et al [69].…”

Folk dances often reflect the socio-cultural influences prevailing in different periods and nations; each dance produces a meaning, a story with the help of music, costumes and dance moves. However, dances have no borders; they have been transmitted from generation to generation, along different countries, mainly due to movements of people carrying and disseminating their civilization. Studying the contextual correlation of dances along neighboring countries, unveils the evolution of this unique intangible heritage in time, and helps in understanding potential cultural similarities. In this work we present a method for contextually motion analysis that organizes dance data semantically, to form the first digital dance ethnography. Firstly, we break dance motion sequences into some narrow temporal overlapping feature descriptors, named motion and style words, and then cluster them in a high-dimensional features space to define motifs. The distribution of those motion and style motifs creates motion and style signatures, in the content of a bag-of-motifs representation, that implies for a succinct but descriptive portrayal of motions sequences. Signatures are timescale and temporal-order invariant, capable of exploiting the contextual correlation between dances, and distinguishing fine-grained difference between semantically similar motions. We then use quartet-based analysis to organize dance data into a categorization tree, while inferred information from dance metadata descriptions are then used to set parent-child relationships. We illustrate a number of different organization trees, and portray the evolution of dances over time. The efficiency of our method is also demonstrated in retrieving contextually similar dances from a database.

“…In 2013, [32] proposed metadata about Chinese intangible cultural heritage that was developed by using derivation analysis to Dublin Core and related metadata schema and user-centric analysis by reviewing end-user needs (government). The result of [32] work is the 67 metadata elements that were grouped into 14 sections. In the same year, metadata schema for traditional knowledge of Chinese living epic traditions has been proposed by [33].…”

Approximately four hundred indigenous communities in Indonesia originally utilize their traditional knowledge for supporting their daily life. Because of many benefits of that knowledge, many stakeholders have started to collect and write it into a digital report. However, the digital report was still documented in the different format of metadata because there is no specific metadata schema for describing digital data of traditional knowledge. Moreover, the differences of metadata schema will make the difficult process of documenting, managing and disseminating this traditional knowledge. To overcome this problem, this work attempted to design specific metadata schema for a domain of traditional knowledge by utilizing metadata development methods, i.e., domain analysis, derivation analysis, system-centric analysis, user-centric analysis and resource-centric analysis. The selection of those methods based on literature review result toward research articles that presented about metadata development. As a result, this paper proposed metadata schema of traditional knowledge that consists of 37 metadata elements which are categorized into 6 metadata sections, i.e., supporting data, material, supporting tool, success story, knowledge source, and knowledge engineer.

“…Frescos and historical paintings, for example, often bring implicit information to the audience beyond the image content itself. Some scholars have focused on organizing metadata schemas that annotate series of cultural images to fix the semantic gap between an image's quantifiable features and its semantic content (Chen, 2014;Xu and Wang, 2015;Ye and Zhou, 2013).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce an interpreting schema and semantic description framework for a collection of images of Xilankapu, a traditional Chinese form of embroidered fabric and brocade artwork. Design/methodology/approach First, the authors interpret the artwork of Xilankapu through Gillian Rose’s “four site” theory by presenting how the brocades were made, how the patterns of Xilankapu are classified and the geometrical abstraction of visual images. To further describe the images of this type of brocade, this paper presents semantic descriptions that include objective–non-objective relations and a multi-layered semantic framework. Furthermore, the authors developed corresponding methods for scanning, storage and indexing images for retrieval. Findings As exploratory research on describing, preserving and indexing images of Xilankapu in the context of the preservation of cultural heritage, the authors collected 1,000+ images of traditional Xilankapu, classifying and storing some of the images in a database. They developed an index schema that combines concept- and content-based approaches according to the proposed semantic description framework. They found that the framework can describe, store and preserve semantic and non-semantic information of the same image. They relate the findings of this paper to future research directions for the digital preservation of traditional cultural heritages. Research limitations/implications The framework has been designed especially for brocade, and it needs to be extended to other types of cultural image. Originality/value The semantic description framework can describe connotative semantic information on Xilankapu. It can also assist the later information retrieval work in organizing implicit information about culturally related visual materials.
