Abstract

This study pursued to diagnose the present status concerning dictionary knowledge of Korean intangible cultural heritages provided on the web archives of public institutions and to find practical ways to accurately provide dictionary knowledge of Korean intangible cultural heritages. The results of the study are as follows: First, the definition, category, classification and direction of dictionary knowledge were examined through understanding the current laws relating to Korean intangible cultural heritages. However, except for the Cultural Heritage Administration and several local governments, the definition and standards of intangible cultural heritages have been still provided without applying the current laws, and basic explanations of information on the web archives have been missing, or errors presented as incorrect figures have been found. The recently amended laws and systems should be identified, and the definitions, types, targets, and contents should be quickly revised in applying the amendments. Second, investigating the causes of these limitations, the reason was revealed to be the combination of the unique historical characteristics of the intangible cultural heritage system, the evolutionary natures of intangible heritages and the public institutions’ system that frequently replaced staff in charge as well as administrative affairs. Third, it is necessary to establish a nationally-integrated knowledge archive of Korea Intangible Cultural Heritages with balance, unity, completeness, connectivity and comprehensiveness. Also, the knowledge provided by public institutions should be directed towards an archive dam completed with a process of knowledge provision through a systematic procedure, at least complying the directions of publicity with public interest, openness, normativity and value as well as the principles of accuracy, reliability, objectivity and fairness, which would be the fundamentals of providing dictionary knowledge. The central and local governments should cooperate with each other to lead the establishment of the nationally-integrated database with value, public interest, openness and normativity.
