T/HCPA 012-2025 Guidelines for Unified Coding of Non-Representative Inheritors of Intangible Cultural Heritage in China

Scope

This standard specifies the coding format, coding principles, code definitions, and generation rules for non-representative intangible cultural heritage inheritors in China. This standard applies to the unified coding of all non-representative intangible cultural heritage inheritors in China, including those who apprentice under representative inheritors (Type D), pure enthusiasts or community participants (Type H), and those who apprentice under non-representative inheritors (Type N), related to ten major categories of intangible cultural heritage projects. Only those with a definite administrative region, category, and project association can be included in the coding management; those lacking these elements will not be included. This standard does not involve the coding of representative inheritors or other related entities. This standard uses structured coding to uniquely identify non-representative intangible cultural heritage inheritors, emphasizing strong associations with administrative regions and project categories to ensure the standardization of data management and cross-system compatibility.
