Prof. Jian (Jenny) Wang and her student Yatong Song, from the School of Information Resource Management in Renmin University of China, Memory of the World Knowledge Center Beijing, delivered a presentation entitled Developing a co-construction and sharing model for the world cultural heritage: A study of digitization

of Buddhist scripture in Dunhuang Library Cave. Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is a unique world cultural heritage and Dunhuang Library Cave is an important part of the Mogao Grottoes. Once discovered, Dunhuang has attracted attention worldwide. The presentation aims at building co-construction and sharing model for the world cultural heritage like Buddhist scripture in Dunhuang Library Cave and try to answer: how to establish a cooperative sharing mechanism among countries and regions, how to apply archival theory into practice such as protection and utilization of world culture heritage, how to use metadata standards as a key point for construction and sharing of resources in various countries, and how to build a comprehensive distribution catalogue of Buddhist scriptures as an umbrella of Buddhist scripture in Dunhuang Library Cave. We hope that this study can cause awareness and more discussion, call for more international collaboration among archivist, historians, librarians and digital humanity researchers, and contribute more to the world heritage with the effort of
