Motion as meaning: Representing embodied knowledge in the multimodal cultural archives

The digitization of intangible cultural heritage (ICH) has grown rapidly since 2003 since UNESCO affirmed the significance of preserving "the practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills". Unlike tangible heritage, which is conventionally protected via legislation and object-based conservation, intangible cultural expressions are usually embodied, enacted, and continuously recreated. From a perspective of computational archives, it is crucial to find appropriate ways to transform living knowledge into tangible cultural entities for knowledge representation. As such, this talk will introduce a machine-enhanced approach to retrieving and representing motion as meaning for the multimodal cultural datasets.
