Summary/Abstract: The last ten years have seen an explosion of digital databases on ethnography, folk music, and other intangible cultural heritage topics. As a result of the ubiquity of the internet, web-enabled technologies, and social media platforms, it is now possible to participate in the process of heritage management not only as a data provider but also as a transcriber who helps in the processing of data. Through community science, data is accessible, can be added to, shared and commented on at any time in the digital space. Compared to the tradition enclosed in monographs and representative publications, the fluidity of digital technology, the possibility of participation, the dissolution of former sharp boundaries (amateur – professional, collector – data provider, global – local) generate new types of attitudes and habitus.
