Dear all, It is a common understanding that languages and placenames represents intangible cultural heritage as well as folk music fairytales or novels and other cultural phenomena.
Franco raised a question about what makes an artifact a piece of cultural heritage. In general to decide what is and what is not cultural heritage be it tangible or intangible is a highly subjective classification. In 18th century British archaeology all medieval stuff on top of Roman ruins was considered garbage and not pieces of cultural heritage. Our task as documentation ontologist (if I may) is not to decide what is cultural heritage and what is trash. The focus is on how to organize/model the information and the activities.
