Preservation and Visualization of Cultural Heritage Knowledge based on Topic Maps and Knowledge Graphs

Cultural heritage, which embodies a nation's historical background, cultural symbolism, rich connotations, and value systems, bridges the past, present, and future. However, it faces extinction due to urbanization, socioeconomic development, and land reclamation. Therefore, preserving and visualizing cultural heritage knowledge becomes crucial to ensure its sustainability. This paper reports the preservation and visualization of festivals, songs, medicinal practices, and folk traditions of the Jing ethnic group in Southeast China using Knowledge Graphs, Topic Maps, Vue.js, and Neo4j technologies. The resulting knowledge graph provides an interactive and visually engaging platform to enhance understanding and promote sustainable heritage practices.
