Cultural Knowledge Co-creation on Social Networking Paradigm

Abstract

Since 2006, by the Ministry of Culture, there was an effort in creating cultural portal. Each provincial cultural office was assigned to survey and report any cultural practice according to a designed template. The technological potential of each office was so different and most of them had to relied on the local system developer and service provider. As a result, the collected contents cannot fulfill the requirement of documentation standard and service level of media presentation. In contrast, cultural knowledge is redefined to an agreed structure for interoperability and computability. Moreover, the contents must reflect the up-to-date daily practice and thoroughly be covered by any individuals. We reuse the existing contents by recovering any typos and format distortion. The social networking system is prepared to allow individual participation to co-create the contents under an authorized supervision. As a result, more than 80 percents of the original contents have been recovered. Each provincial office is able to strategically plan and co-create their own contents to establish the total cultural knowledge.
