Collaboration in cultural heritage digitisation in East Asia

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to review the current status of collaboration in cultural heritage preservation in East Asia, including digital projects, and to suggest practical improvements based on a cultural structuralism perspective.Design/methodology/approach – Through exploratory research, the paper addresses aspects for successful collaboration in cultural heritage digitisation in East Asia.Findings – The paper indicates the difference in collaboration of cultural heritage digitisation between regions such as Europe and the unique situation in East Asia.Social implications – If collaboration between the countries of East Asia was implemented then such a community could deal with the issues of cultural heritage by having a standard scheme or policy.Originality/value – There has been little literature published on East Asian cultural heritage initiatives, particularly in the area of digitisation and digital preservation.
