Use this view to find documented resources, possible safeguarding pathways, and questions that still need research. It supports programme planning; it is not an automatic business plan or a decision on behalf of a community.
01
Purpose
Connect documented cultural knowledge, materials, practitioners, places, activities and potential support.
02
How to use it
Select a heritage element, inspect its source links and opportunity signals, then use the research gaps to plan your next questions.

How to read the evidence
A URL is a research lead, not proof. Check whether the original page supports the specific claim and reflects the relevant community and context.
AI-generated research supportPRELIMINARY · NOT VERIFIED
These profiles are generated automatically to support human research and planning—not as verified facts or final recommendations. Source links are leads to check; the system validates URL format and response structure, not whether each page substantiates a claim.
Read the full disclaimer
AI-generated profiles, summaries and opportunity scores may contain errors, omissions, outdated information or misinterpretations. They are preliminary research aids, not market validation, official positions or community-approved decisions. Check original sources, consult relevant communities and subject-matter experts, and confirm context, consent, safeguarding, feasibility and fair benefit-sharing before acting. AI supports human judgement; it does not replace it or override community authority. This application does not currently include an in-app human-review or approval workflow.
How to read the 0–100 opportunity score
Scores are preliminary AI research signals based on linked sources. They are not percentages of success, market demand, revenue, impact or financial viability.
0 / Not assessedNo category-specific source is attached, or cited sources show no positive signal. This does not mean no opportunity exists.
1–24 · Weak signalVery limited indications; more research is needed.
25–49 · LimitedSome indications, with important gaps.
50–74 · ModerateA stronger indication in available sources; still unverified.
75–100 · Strong signalMore substantial indications in available sources; AI-generated and still unverified.
Important: Evidence coverage counts categories with item-level source links; it does not grade source quality. A missing score does not mean the culture has no future opportunity.

Opportunity categories with sources—of 5 score categories
Research status—not a quality rating or approval
Evidence coverage
A category counts only when at least one entry in it has its own evidence URL. General element source links do not automatically verify each resource claim.
A source link means “ready to check,” not “verified.” Community roles, consent, benefit-sharing, market demand and costs require separate confirmation.
From documented practice to possible pathways
Knowledge, materials and practice are documentation inputs. Products, services, experiences and learning activities are research pathways — not proof of demand or permission to commercialise.

Quick comparison: practice and evidence
Each dot is one heritage element. Right = more practice details recorded; higher = more categories have their own source links. Larger dots have more unique URLs. This is a documentation view, not a ranking of cultural value or commercial potential. Select a dot to open its profile.
Questions to answer before planning a programme
Use these gaps to decide what to research or ask the community. “Not recorded” means the current dataset does not answer the question — it does not mean the resource or activity does not exist.

How to Use the Radar
Welcome to the ICH Shared Heritage Radar — an AI-powered tool that continuously discovers, enriches, and maps Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) from communities around the world. Data is updated automatically every 2 days.
Live System Status
The status ticker at the top of the page shows the most recently discovered or enriched heritage element, its country of origin, and its data completion status in real time.
COMPLETEAll fields found — description, steps, sources, shared connections.
INCOMPLETEStill missing step-by-step process, recipe, or valid image. Will be enriched next run.
Dashboard Stats
Total Elements — Total number of ICH records in the database.
Complete Data — Records with full descriptions, processes, and sources.
Needs Enrichment — Records flagged for a follow-up AI enrichment pass.
Shared Heritage Network — Records where cultural connections across countries were detected.
Heritage Network Map
Green pulsing node — An ICH element's origin location. Click to see all elements from that region in a popup. If multiple elements share the same coordinates, a number badge appears on the node.
Yellow node — A related heritage element in another country, linked by a shared cultural lineage. Click to see the element name, country, and relationship reason.
Animated dashed line — A "Shared Heritage" connection between two cultures. The AI detected a historical, linguistic, or cultural relationship between them.
Use your mouse scroll wheel to zoom, and click-drag to pan. The map automatically filters to match the active directory filters below.
Directory & Filters
Filter by Country — Narrow the directory and map to a single country of origin.
Filter by Status — Show only Complete, Incomplete, or Shared Heritage records.
Sort — Toggle between newest-first and oldest-first by discovery date.
Items per page — Choose 9, 18, 36, or 72 cards per page. Pagination at the bottom lets you navigate large datasets.
View Full Analysis — Opens the detail modal for that element (see below).
Element Detail View
Clicking View Full Analysis opens a full detail panel with:
Cover Image — Automatically fetched thumbnail for the element.
Mini Map — A focused map showing the element's origin and its shared heritage connections at a glance.
Origin & Category — Country, province(s), and ICH category.
Cultural Significance — AI-summarized importance of the element to its community.
Tools & Materials — Ingredients, instruments, or materials used in the practice.
Step-by-Step Process — The AI-extracted crafting method, recipe, or ritual sequence. Only shown for COMPLETE records.
Shared Heritage —
Countries and elements with a detected cultural connection, shown with an AI confidence score.
This analysis is generated by AI based on publicly available online sources.
Results may reflect the diversity, gaps, or biases present in community-generated knowledge.
Video Media — If a YouTube link was found in the sources, an embedded video carousel appears automatically.
Data Sources — Direct links to Wikipedia articles, local news, community blogs, and Google-grounded sources used by the AI.
Export to PDF
Click the printer icon inside any element's detail view to generate a print-ready document. A new tab will open containing the full record — cover image, map, description, steps, and sources — then your browser's print dialog will appear automatically.
Popup Blocker Warning
The PDF export opens in a new browser tab. If nothing happens when you click the printer icon, your browser's popup blocker is preventing it.
To fix this:
Chrome / Edge: Look for a blocked popup icon in the address bar on the right. Click it, then select "Always allow popups from this site".
Firefox: A bar appears at the top of the page. Click "Allow" or "Options → Allow popups for this site".
Safari: Go to Settings → Websites → Pop-up Windows and set this site to "Allow".
Once allowed, click the printer icon again. The export tab will open and the print dialog will appear after ~1.5 seconds to ensure the map renders correctly.
💡 Tip: In the print dialog, select "Save as PDF" as the destination to export a digital PDF file instead of printing to paper.
Export XML (Dublin Core)
The Export XML button in the header downloads the entire database as a structured Dublin Core OAI-DC XML file.
Dublin Core is an internationally recognised metadata standard used by libraries, archives, and cultural heritage institutions worldwide. This makes the exported file compatible with:
Digital library systems (DSpace, Omeka, Fedora)
Open Archives Initiative (OAI-PMH) harvesters
Academic research databases and citation managers
UNESCO and national ICH documentation systems
Each element exports with its dc:identifier, dc:title, dc:subject (category), dc:description, dc:coverage (country), and all dc:source URLs.
Language Toggle (EN / ID)
Switch the interface between English and Bahasa Indonesia using the button in the top-right corner. All labels, filters, modal text, and status messages will update instantly. Your current filter and page state is preserved.
About the AI Engine
This radar is powered by Google Gemini 2.5 Flash with Google Search Grounding. The AI crawler runs on a 2-day schedule, executing two phases per run: first it enriches any incomplete records from the previous run, then it discovers 2–4 entirely new heritage elements using a rotating multilingual keyword database spanning 40+ languages and regions — from unregistered village traditions to UNESCO-listed practices.
Coordinates are geocoded via OpenStreetMap Nominatim. Thumbnails are fetched via Microlink or Wikimedia Commons fallback. All source URLs are direct links — no AI-generated redirect links are stored.
