Finno-Ugric Data Sharing Space

The Finno-Ugric Data Sharing Space is a research-driven data sharing space for reconnecting fragmented cultural heritage across languages, institutions, and countries. Developed with minimal resources as a curatorial and technical experiment, it combines semantic web technologies with participatory methods to make underrepresented Finno-Ugric cultures visible and reusable in contemporary digital infrastructures.

Rather than building a new repository, the project demonstrates how multilingual metadata, community-driven annotation, and lightweight governance models can enable cultural reconstruction and long-term interoperability in low-scale heritage ecosystems.
