Who We Are

An interdisciplinary team for Indonesia's digital heritage.

Cultural Heritage Information System – AI (Kelompok Riset Sistem Informasi Warisan Budaya Berbasis Akal Imitasi dan Mahadata) is an interdisciplinary team dedicated to preserving and advancing Indonesia’s cultural heritage through digital innovation.

By integrating artificial intelligence, big data, and expertise from information science, data science, and cultural studies, we develop intelligent and inclusive systems for cultural documentation, management, and dissemination — supporting good governance through the strengthening of Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM) as open knowledge ecosystems.

Through a collaborative pentahelix approach, we are committed to delivering sustainable and impactful solutions for the future of cultural heritage.

Our Direction

Vision & Mission

The horizon we are working towards, and the commitments that guide us there.

Our Vision

"To be a leading research cluster in AI- and data-driven cultural heritage systems for Indonesia and the wider region."

We envision a future where Indonesia’s cultural heritage — its manuscripts, monuments, archives, and living traditions — is documented, shared, and stewarded through inclusive, intelligent, and community-grounded digital systems built with and for the communities that hold them.

Our Mission

"Five commitments that guide the daily work of the cluster."
  • Develop intelligent, inclusive information systems for cultural documentation and dissemination.
  • Advance research at the intersection of AI, big data, and cultural studies.
  • Strengthen GLAM institutions as open and sustainable knowledge ecosystems.
  • Practice community-based preservation centring data sovereignty and consent.
  • Foster a pentahelix network across government, academia, industry, community, and media.
