James Feng, general manager of Topnod (Jingtan), Ant Group, shared his views on the digitalization and passing on of cultural heritage.
He noted that businesses need to establish a collaborative mechanism for data sharing. Only when cultural heritage data can continuously generate commercial value and allow all stakeholders to benefit on an ongoing basis, will they have the incentive to keep contributing and participating.
He said that cultural heritage should not simply be preserved in museums or locked away in display cases. Instead, it should become part of the people's digital lives.
Only when people actually use and share cultural heritage do they truly participate in passing it on.
