Resumen La guayabera ha sido vista por años como una artesanía tradicional de Yucatán, sin embargo, a últimas fechas está óptica se ha ampliado para identificarla como una prenda étnica contemporánea que representa en general a México ante él mundo. El objetivo se este trabajo es explorar el interés que tienen diferentes grupos (yucatecos, mexicanos no yucatecos y extranjeros) en la compra de guayaberas, así como examinar la influencia de variables como origen de la fabricación, la edad del cliente, el estilo de la prenda y su uso previsto sobre la intención de compra de los clientes potenciales. En el estudio se emplea un análisis de moderación, mediación y mediación moderada para comprender mejor los factores que influyen en la intención de compra de los clientes potenciales. En esta investigación se tomó una muestra de 549 personas que acudieron a alguna tienda que vende guayaberas en Yucatán, en la que se identificaron diferentes aspectos relacionados con los motivadores de compra. Los hallazgos del estudio indican que el uso al cual se destina la prenda determina la intención de compra del cliente y que esta relación esta mediada por el estilo de la prenda y moderada por la edad del cliente. Encontrando que el cliente que desea una guayabera es preponderantemente joven, busca estilos contemporáneos y valora especialmente el lugar de confección de la prenda, lo que le da el carácter étnico a este tipo de ropa y un valor distintivo.

Abstract The guayabera has been seen for years as a traditional craft of Yucatan, however, lately this optic has expanded to identify it as a contemporary ethnic garment that represents Mexico in general before the world. The objective of this paper is to explore the interest of different groups (Yucatecans, non-Yucatecan Mexicans and foreigners) in the purchase of guayaberas, as well as to examine the influence of variables such as origin of manufacture, age of the customer, style of the garment and its intended use on the purchase intention of potential customers. The study uses moderation, mediation, and moderate mediation analysis to better understand the factors that influence potential customers' purchase intent. In this research, a sample of 549 people who went to a store that sells guayaberas in Yucatan was taken, in which different aspects related to purchase motivators were identified.

... Digital technology is one of the most promising tools for addressing these challenges [41][42][43][44]. Technologies such as 3D scanning [45][46][47], photogrammetry [48][49][50], AR [51][52][53], and digital reenactment [54][55][56][57] allow for the digital preservation of craft processes, artifacts, and techniques, which might otherwise be lost. For instance, 3D scanning has been widely used to capture the details of cultural artifacts, enabling their preservation in digital archives and facilitating virtual access for researchers and the public [58][59][60][61]. ...
This publication highlights the strategic combination of the preservation of heritage and innovation for supporting the sustainability of traditional crafts in Europe. Demonstrating both challenges and opportunities faced by artisans, there is a need to balance cultural authenticity and the pressures of current markets and environmental imperatives. The research has explored interventions at three levels of craft practice, education, and training and recommends practical directions on short- and long-term bases. Key findings include new materials and technologies to revitalize crafts, the integration of digital tools in education, and cross-border collaboration, which are considered vital for enhancing the visibility and viability of traditional crafts. The circular economy principles and eco-certifications emerge as key to aligning traditional crafts with global sustainability goals. The analysis also highlights cultural policies and funding mechanisms as a means of encouraging innovation and promoting the resilience of the craft sector. The publication, by weaving together case studies, policy analysis, and strategic recommendations, provides a comprehensive roadmap for stakeholders—from artisans and educators to policymakers and researchers—to ensure that the legacy and relevance of Europe’s rich craft heritage continue.
... The development of digital technology provides new ways and concepts for the creation of art design, and art design also has higher and higher requirements for digital technology. Designers should be more concerned about the emergence of new technologies in society, meet new things with an open attitude, constantly innovate and adapt to the needs of the new era [6][7][8][9][10]. For example, the use of digital painting platforms and drawing software to achieve richer and more diverse painting effects through computer-aided design software and 3D printing technology to produce finer and more accurate digital sculpture works, etc [11][12][13]. ...
The deep integration of digital technology and traditional art can effectively enhance the inheritance, development, and protection of traditional art. This paper establishes the integration mechanism between digital art and traditional artistic expressions and uses the hierarchical analysis method to assign weights to the indicators in the evaluation system of digital art and traditional artistic expressions. The raw data in the evaluation model for the integration of digital art and traditional artistic expressions in a certain region from 2018 to 2022 are selected to calculate the weights of the indicators while quantitatively measuring the time-series development trend of the degree of integration in the selected region. Taking 15 cities and municipalities in a certain province as research objects, gray correlation analysis was used to explore the integration of digital art and traditional artistic expressions among the cities and municipalities. In the evaluation system for the integration of digital art and traditional artistic expressions, the indicators with the highest weights are the degree of content theme innovation, audience acceptance, comprehensive visual and auditory experience, and educational significance, with weights of 0.12, 0.12, 0.11, and 0.11, respectively. In addition, this paper measures that the degree of integration between digital art and traditional artistic expressions from 2018-2022 shows a gradual upward trend.
... Recent efforts to streamline the recording and documentation of crafting processes focus on representing human motion, tool, and artefact shapes and identifying individual actions through video and motion capture recordings [5]. The outcome of these efforts is a representation that visually and semantically documents craft processes, adhering to international standards for cultural heritage documentation [6]. ...
The problem of modelling and simulating traditional crafting actions is addressed, motivated by the goals of craft understanding, documentation, and training. First, the physical entities involved in crafting actions are identified, physically, and semantically characterised, including causing entities, conditions, properties, and objects, as well as the space and time in which they occur. Actions are semantically classified into a taxonomy of four classes according to their goals, which are shown to exhibit similarities in their operation principles and utilised tools. This classification is employed to simplify the create archetypal simulators, based on the Finite Element Method, by developing archetypal simulators for each class and specialising them in craft-specific actions. The approach is validated by specialising the proposed archetypes into indicative craft actions and predicting their results in simulation. The simulated actions are rendered in 3D to create visual demonstrations and can be integrated into game engines for training applications.
... The proposed guidelines are the results of working with craft practitioners, craft communities, and craft training organizations in the context of the Horizon2020 project Mingei and the Horizon Europe project Craeft. In Mingei, a protocol for craft representation and presentation has been developed as the outcome of the interdisciplinary effort between heritage scientists, ethnographers, anthropologists, craft practitioners, digitization experts, and experts on modern ICT technology [59]. This protocol sets the foundations for understanding traditional crafts and presenting them for information, education, and training. ...
Craft education and training are important for preserving cultural heritage and fostering artisanal skills. However, the pedagogical challenges in this domain are numerous. This research paper presents a comprehensive framework for applying Cognitive Load Theory to enhance craft education and training via eLearning platforms. In this study, practical guidelines based on CLT principles are provided to optimize the instructional design and content delivery. These guidelines scaffold craft learning experiences within eLearning platforms and encompass strategies to manage cognitive load, promote active learning, and facilitate gradual transition. Subsequently, the paper details the implementation of these guidelines within a popular eLearning platform, Moodle, emphasizing its adaptability and utility for craft education. It discusses the customization of Moodle courses to align with the cognitive load management principles, providing a practical blueprint for educators and instructional designers. The research culminates in a case study, wherein the guidelines are applied to a craft eLearning course using Moodle.
... Contemporary digitisation methods facilitate the capturing, scanning, recording, and archiving of intangible cultural heritage elements, such as oral histories, traditional performances, rituals, and more. As Zabulis et al. (2022) advise, it is important that digitisation also includes contextualisation items, literature, and other information-carrying media, e.g., documents, technical drawings, images, and audio recordings. ...
... Recording intangible cultural heritage requires a combination of complementary approaches to adequately capture the full scope, complexity and richness of knowledge, practices, traditions, expressions, and skills. Zabulis et al. (2022) • data curation / preparing the data for statistical analysis (correction or normalisation of data values, instance matching, term alignment, etc.) ...
... Documenting places can help us understand the physical, social, and cultural contexts in which intangible cultural heritage is transmitted and performed. Zabulis et al. (2022) state that information on places can include imaginary places, as in legends or tales, and are not associated with a geographical location. ...
This paper presents the critical role of digital humanities methods in safeguarding, research, and revitalisation of intangible cultural heritage. The study explores digitisation methods through a documentation and data management perspective, advocating for data standards that facilitate data interoperability at structure, content, value, and encoding levels. This paper critically analyses existing data standards and conceptual reference models, considering their potential and limitations for documenting and representing intangible cultural heritage. The typology of entities and processes related to intangible cultural heritage is presented and elaborated. Mapping identified entities and processes to individual classes in the CIDOC-CRM model is discussed to support the publication of data and semantic interoperability in the Semantic Web context.
... Achieving a representation of crafts is the first step in the digital conservation of knowledge, but it is not a simple task at all, due to the multiplicity of craft dimensions, and the heterogeneity of data, knowledge, and contexts. To systematize and replicate craft representations for the multiplicity and diversity of crafts, the Mingei craft representation protocol has been developed as a method and accompanied by the technical tools to implement this method [30]. The Mingei protocol is a proposed method comprising guidelines, tools, and instructions that are based on the state of the art in the humanities, natural sciences, and computer science [30]. ...

Definition
This entry discusses the challenge of safeguarding crafts in Europe. Safeguarding is defined herein as the systematic process of understanding, representing, preserving, and valorizing crafts following the recommendations of UNESCO and the UN-World Tourism Organization. The abovementioned challenges are discussed through a multidisciplinary prism starting from the scientific challenges in the information and communication technologies sector and expanding the discussion to ethical, legal, and policy-making measures and recommendations to safeguard crafts as a form of tangible and intangible cultural heritage but also as a source of growth and impact for the communities that practice them. To this end, the role of education and training for craft preservation is discussed, considering that the declining number of practitioners and apprentices is considered today the main threat to their preservation.
... The representation of intangible dimensions of traditional crafts as processes were proposed in [54]. In [55], it was proposed that craft representations should include semantic descriptions of crafting plans and processes associated with recordings of these processes. These approaches use activity diagrams to represent process steps that transform input materials into output products for each step. ...
... To better understand and document crafting action, we recommend the semantic representation of the aforementioned quantities and entities. We recommend using the MOP infrastructure [55] to document craft instances in steps, associating phenomenological action recordings with verbal descriptions. ...
... The semantic modeling of craft actions is based on a craft-specific ontology obtained by extending the MINGEI ontology [55] with classes and properties needed to model the sensory and mental imagery used in crafting actions. The ontology is implemented on an online platform that extends the MINGEI Platform [55]. ...
A roadmap is proposed that defines a systematic approach for craft preservation and its evaluation. The proposed roadmap aims to deepen craft understanding so that blueprints of appropriate tools that support craft documentation, education, and training can be designed while achieving preservation through the stimulation and diversification of practitioner income. In addition to this roadmap, an evaluation strategy is proposed to validate the efficacy of the developed results and provide a benchmark for the efficacy of craft preservation approaches. The proposed contribution aims at the catalyzation of craft education and training with digital aids, widening access and engagement to crafts, economizing learning, increasing exercisability, and relaxing remoteness constraints in craft learning.

A roadmap is proposed that defines a systematic approach for craft preservation and its evaluation. The proposed roadmap aims at deepening craft understanding, so blueprints of appropriate tools that support craft documentation, education, and training can be designed while achieving preservation through the stimulation and diversification of practitioner income. A roadmap is required because understanding making activities that include “care, judgement, and dexterity” [1] call for interdisciplinary contributions from Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Art History, as well as Physical and Computational Sciences, to cover the multifaceted expression of crafts as living and developing heritage, as a source of income, and as the expression of the mind through “imagery, technology, and sedimented knowledge” [2]. In addition to this roadmap, an evaluation strategy is proposed to validate the efficacy of the developed results and provide a benchmark for the efficacy of craft preservation approaches. The proposed contribution aims at the catalysation of craft education and training with digital aids, widening access and engagement to crafts, economising learning, increasing exercisability, and relaxing remoteness constraints in craft learning.
