文化地景如舊墓地、廢棄的廠區、佈滿垃圾的沿海岸邊，既呈現了地區性的生活遺跡，也見證了普遍性的環境變遷。這類不討喜的文化地景特別容易受到外來的擾動與破壞，正快速消失中。尤其在台灣，因為承受土地開發的壓力，或被認為是阻礙進步的場域，這些文化地景特別容易被完全剷除。紀錄特有的文化地景，保存和散佈這些紀錄以及其所伴隨的物件與經驗，遂成為急迫的集體記憶工作。

我們認為文化地景的紀錄以及散佈，可以用群體協力的方式進行，而所產出數位紀錄的永續保存與共享使用議題，應該被嚴肅對待。關於這些紀錄的標準化、結構化描述資料（或稱後設資料）的重要性應該被強調。可永續、開放的資料儲存庫，將有利於這些數位紀錄的傳承與使用。維基媒體基金會的幾項專案，如「維基共享資源」(Wikimedia Commons) 以及「維基資料」 (Wikidata)，都可用於文化地景與遺產的協力紀錄、保存與散佈，並且有助於數位資源的參照使用。我們將以多個範例於此報告中闡明。

Collaborative Documentation and Dissemination of Cultural Landscape and Heritage

Cultural landscapes, such as old burial grounds, abandoned factories, and seashores piled with debris, simultaneously present us with the remains of former human activity and bear witness to global change. These cultural landscapes, deemed non-amicable for many, are especially vulnerable to disturbance and destruction. They are fading out of sight rapidly. This is particularly noticeable in Taiwan, where, when under the stress of commercial land development or being viewed as sites of obstruction to progress, these cultural landscapes can be easily wiped out. Preserving these unique cultural landscapes, documenting and disseminating these documentations, as well as identifying the importance of their associated cultural objects and experiences are the urgent acts necessary for collective remembering.

Documenting and disseminating cultural landscapes, in our view, can be carried out collaboratively. Issues of preservation and sharing digital records so produced should be taken seriously. It is important to have standardized and structured descriptive data (also called metadata) about these records. Sustainable and open data repositories are invaluable in the reuse of these digital records and in passing them on to future generations. Several projects of the Wikimedia Foundation, such as Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, can be used for the collaborative documentation, preservation, and dissemination of cultural landscape and heritage. They also facilitate cross-reference of digital resources. We will illustrate this in this presentation with several examples.
