Abstract
An approach to the representation and documentation of craft processes is proposed. The proposed approach is a method for the systematic identification and digital representation of pertinent data, information, and knowledge. The outcome representation is compatible with contemporary digitisation practices and digital preservation standards. The implementation of the approach is provided within the context of an online platform that is accompanied by auxiliary tools for digital curation. This platform is a multiple user system, where craft representations can be collaboratively authored, shared, displayed, and digitally preserved in standardised formats. Basic uses of this scheme and presentational applications are provided, along with identification of future work and limitations.

Handicrafts, traditional, or Śheritage craftsŠ [44] are an integral part of Cultural Heritage [51], which is in many cases endangered due to the Śdeclining number of practitioners and apprenticesŠ [103]
2 BACKGROUND 2.1 Preservation of crats as Cultural Heritage UNESCOŠs recognition of traditional crafts as ICH [103] and support in the creation of national inventories [104], generated awareness and compliance of craft descriptions according to scientiĄc and ethical guidelines
If transitions were modelled as relations between steps, properties with arity greater than 2 would be required; but such are not admitted in semantic modelling, in general, and Semantic Web languages, in particular
Summary
Handicrafts, traditional, or Śheritage craftsŠ [44] are an integral part of Cultural Heritage [51], which is in many cases endangered due to the Śdeclining number of practitioners and apprenticesŠ [103]. We use the term ŚdigitisationŠ in the ampler sense that considers the digital representation, or digitisation, of a craft as composed of both signal and semantic content This digitisation is implemented by a semantic model that associates the recording of actions in a 1-1 correspondence with their interpretations.
