Therefore, the paper aims to develop a multi-dimensional metadata description framework tailored specifically for Chinese paper-cutting works. The proposed framework emphasizes both the tangible attributes and cultural significance within the broader context of ICH, covering physical objects, cultural context and technical skills.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proposed framework encompasses six dimensions: basic attribute, connotative feature, creator, ICH project, inheritor and derived innovation. Elements from existing metadata standards or vocabularies, such as DC terms, CDWA Lite, VRA Core and FOAF are reused in this study. The ICH project and inheritor dimensions draw elements from the \u201capplication form of representative projects of national ICH\u201d and \u201capplication form for the fifth batch of representative inheritors of national ICH representative projects.\u201d The derived innovation elements are creatively designed to describe derived works from the original paper-cutting work. The framework\u2019s usability was validated by generating Resource Description Framework (RDF) metadata for two specific paper-cutting works named \u201cFlower Cutting Lady\u201d and \u201cHappiness\u201d in Turtle syntax.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The proposed metadata description framework supports a detailed description of the connotative features of Chinese paper-cutting works. It indicates that the designed multiple dimensions assist the comprehensive and cultural description of paper-cutting works, which would promote digital inheritance through the enrichment of the interpretable and machine-readable cultural heritage metadata.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>This paper introduces an innovative application of metadata description framework design and develops a specialized framework that integrates established methodologies with new dimensions tailored specifically for Chinese paper-cutting works. By emphasizing both the tangible attributes and cultural contexts, this study addresses gaps in existing metadata frameworks and proposes a metadata description framework uniquely suited to the nuanced description requirements of Chinese paper-cutting as traditional art.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/jd-09-2024-0223","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,25]],"date-time":"2025-03-25T19:36:12Z","timestamp":1742931372000},"page":"657-683","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Metadata description framework for Chinese paper-cutting as traditional art in the context of intangible cultural heritage inheritance"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"81","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1520-1297","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chunqiu","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-4801-3685","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shengnan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2450-7725","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yufei","family":"Xuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0485-7525","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chen","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5546-8485","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wirapong","family":"Chansanam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref001","volume-title":"Introduction to Metadata: Pathways to Digital Information","year":"2000"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2025042506290327200_ref002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"562","DOI":"10.1108\/LHT-08-2014-0081","article-title":"Multi-entity models of resource description in the Semantic Web: a comparison of FRBR, RDA and BIBFRAME","volume":"32","year":"2014","journal-title":"Library Hi Tech"},{"issue":"3","key":"key2025042506290327200_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"474","DOI":"10.1108\/EL-09-2018-0193","article-title":"Interpreting and semantically describing Chinese traditional brocade: Xilankapu","volume":"37","year":"2019","journal-title":"The Electronic Library"},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref004","unstructured":"Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Network (2008), \u201cPaper-cutting (Zhangpu paper-cutting)\u201d, available at: https:\/\/www.ihchina.cn\/art\/detail\/id\/20004.html (accessed 17 November 2024)."},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref005","unstructured":"Chinese Intangible Cultural Heritage Network (2011), \u201cPaper-cutting (Xunyi color paste paper-cutting)\u201d, available at: https:\/\/www.ihchina.cn\/project_details\/13968\/ (accessed 15 April 2024)."},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref006","unstructured":"Chinese Paper-cutting Digital Space (2023), \u201cPaper-cutting author (Wei Yiping)\u201d, available at: https:\/\/www.papercutspace.cn\/home\/jzyr\/jzyr_detail\/id\/1257.html (accessed 15 April 2024)."},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref007","unstructured":"Chinese Traditional Village Digital Museum (2017), \u201cIntangible cultural heritage \u2013 paper-cutting\u201d, available at: http:\/\/www.dmctv.cn\/fy.aspx?lx=zt (accessed 17 November 2024)."},{"issue":"2","key":"key2025042506290327200_ref008","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"160","DOI":"10.1016\/j.acalib.2004.12.010","article-title":"Understanding metadata and its purpose","volume":"31","year":"2010","journal-title":"Journal of Academic Librarianship"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2025042506290327200_ref009","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"521","DOI":"10.1108\/EL-01-2023-0018","article-title":"Research on intangible cultural heritage resource description and knowledge fusion based on linked data","volume":"42","year":"2024","journal-title":"The Electronic Library"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2025042506290327200_ref010","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.56028\/iajhss.1.3.8","article-title":"Research on the construction of knowledge ontology for intangible cultural heritage","volume":"3","year":"2022","journal-title":"International Academic Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences"},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref011","first-page":"634","article-title":"Metadata for intangible cultural heritage-the case of folk dances","year":"2018"},{"key":"key2025042506290327200_ref012","unstructured":"Gilliland, A.J.
