Weaving tales of crafts: narrative creation for cultural heritage preservation

This study explores the transformative potential of semantic technologies and formal narratives in preserving and contextualizing Heritage Crafts (HCs) within the Craeft project, a Horizon Europe initiative (2023--2026). By applying the fabula-narration framework and utilizing the Craeft ontology, this research demonstrates how diverse craft knowledge --- from creation processes to historical contexts --- can be systematically represented, accessed, and visualized by various audiences. A case study on Limoges porcelain illustrates how integrating historical, cultural, and technical dimensions into structured narratives can effectively connect past and present craft traditions.
