Is music a form of knowledge? Probably not, even if music is undoubtedly an important part of our cultural heritage. Music is not a type of knowledge, at least in first approximation, because music has no consensual, shared meaning. One of the main reasons why music has no meaning, as opposed to text or even pictures, is that music is not referential: music is made of elements (notes, chords, sounds) which do not refer to any objects or concepts outside the musical world (Meyer, 1956). Being without meaning, music is not a type of knowledge.

To keep this heritage alive and useful for future generations hence the need for awareness of all members of society and this is one of the efforts in building knowledge management. The main purpose of knowledge management is to encourage sustainability knowledge within an organization or society, so expected that knowledge will not stop the people who have the knowledge, but can be accessed and studied by others who need them. In this research method used is the method mix (mix method) with pengum-gathering techniques of data in the form of questionnaires, interviews, observation and through the study of literature.

The cultural heritage plays a very important role in the Smart management of an area, and geospatial technologies are a perfect tool for the heritage knowledge, management and analysis. Photogrammetry, UAV systems and geographic information systems, can help in cataloguing the cultural heritage of a city. The main turistic value for Alcalá la Real, is the Monumental Group of the Fortress of La Mota and their related monuments.As the principal objetive of the Project, an analysis and the calculation of the optimal location of the watchtower network is made. To achieve this, on the one hand photogrammetry technics are used to get the geometric information of the studied area. On the other hand, photogrammetry through UAV systems is used to obtain the 3D model of one of the watchtowers, which is better preserved than others. Finally, programming tools are applied over GIS for the analysis and calculation of the optimal location of this watchtower network.

Cultural Institutions

<p>The importance of indigenous knowledge is receiving increasing recognition. Some cultural institutions (CI) are responsible for safeguarding indigenous knowledge and they acquire, document, and record works and images of indigenous knowledge which are contained or embedded in the intangible cultural heritage (ICH) of their indigenous communities such as songs, rituals, arts, and medical wisdom. These items of ICH become ‘knowledge objects’ or ‘representations of knowledge’ when documented, which are unlikely to represent the indigenous people's knowledge holistically. Indigenous knowledge embedded in the ICH requires interpretations of the processes, rituals, experiences and practices from the indigenous communities.  This interpretivist study, using a knowledge management (KM) lens, examined the knowledge sharing processes of the indigenous people of Sarawak, Malaysia, to understand the nature of indigenous knowledge and knowledge sharing from the perspectives of the indigenous people of Sarawak, in order to assist Sarawak’s cultural institutions in safeguarding their ICH.  This research used narrative inquiry as a research methodology, acquiring stories from two clusters of participants, purposively selected from three ethnic groups and from cultural institutions in Sarawak’s Civil Service. This study used a knowledge management perspective in analysing the findings. The findings on the nature of indigenous people’s knowledge highlight a three-tiered knowledge system. The findings on the CIs’ safeguarding efforts elucidate the gap in the management of the CIs’ organizational knowledge on safeguarding.  This study makes several important contributions. First, it contributes to the literature about the cultural protocol requirements of the indigenous people of Sarawak before they can share their knowledge. Secondly, this study elucidates the indigenous people’s knowledge as a three-tiered system which influences the people’s knowledge sharing ways. This system can be used to guide the CIs’ practices of safeguarding ICH. The third contribution of this study is that it expands our understanding of the complexity of indigenous knowledge, and creates a conceptual model to aid and guide this understanding. Fourth, this study also contributes towards a greater understanding of the importance of the CIs including the indigenous peoples in the safeguarding practices in order to avoid the decontextualization of the ICH. Thus, this study confirms the importance of the participation of the indigenous people in the CIs’ practice of safeguarding ICH.  Another contribution of this study, based on its findings, is the adaptation of three elements of a KM spectrum (Binney, 2001) for the CIs’ KM approach in managing their organizational knowledge on safeguarding ICH.</p>

Archival institutions managing Indigenous materials—both state-managed archives and recently created Indigenous “Knowledge Centres”—are examples of “contact zones”: archival materials are products of colonial encounters, and archival management practices are manifestations of forms of governmentality that also include notions of “intangible cultural heritage” and “intellectual property.” This chapter examines new forms of Indigenous empowerment among the Yolngu people of northern Australia in managing their own repatriated cultural heritage materials. It focuses on certain points of tension in these archival contact zones, where both state-managed and Yolngu-managed archives are subject to certain overriding principles of knowledge management: particular methods of documentation and preservation, attention to global standards of knowledge management, and respect for intellectual property law on the one hand, and secrecy, unequal access to knowledge, and the use of restricted knowledge as a political resource on the other.
