Heritage
is something that has been inherited by our ancestor. It has
a sophisticated and uniqueness value that differentiates one
nation/community to another. Unfortunately, globalisation
issue has become a nightmare with its global culture impact.
Plenty of country has been announced an action to prevent
their national heritage from the extinction in the global
world.
In order to maintain a cultural heritage, all people are responsible.
Knowledge could be categorized in tacit and explicit knowledge,
and so does cultural heritage. We need a tool for gathering
and managing our tacit and explicit cultural heritage. It
is important for us to seek an appropriate way to accomplish
this task.
By the development of technology, in particular information
technology, a newly alternative for gathering and managing
various kind of information has been provided. In this case,
information about cultural heritage could be managed as effective
as possible.
Currently, Indonesia's National Digital Library has promoted
a new variant of its network namely Digital Library for National
Heritage. One of its aims is to connect the resources of Indonesian
cultural heritage. The first version Digital Library for National
Heritage has been launched successfully. But it still needs
to be optimised as a device for managing cultural heritage
in Indonesia, regarding to the various resources that could
contribute valuable and significance informations.
Key words: Cultural Heritage Management, Indonesia Digital
Library Network, Digital Library for National Heritage
