An abstraction-based approach to eliciting wisdom in intangible cultural heritage utilisation

Intangible cultural heritage utilisation action involves a variety of knowledge, such as culture, history, politics and suchlike. However, intangible cultural heritage is arduous to meet the customers requirement in current situation. A challenge for intangible culture heritage barriers is to provide wise products to satisfy the customers requirements. In order to achieve this target, this paper presents a novel system based on abstraction techniques, aiming to search or generate wisdoms in the intangible cultural heritage domain. It covers three phases, i.e., Abstracting Data/Information/Knowledge , Searching Meta Data and Ranking the wisdom results . Abstraction techniques aim to analyse the characteristics of customers requirements and construct the levels of abstraction. Cuckoo Search is utilised for searching relevant meta data and potential relevant meta data to express the wisdoms. Furthermore, wisdom metrics are built to rank the wise products.
