Abstract & description[edit source]
Abstract[edit source]
It will be discussed how our passion is in preserving Balinese culture through providing accurate information and publication of places of self-purification in Bali through Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. Last but not least, this project also preserves the Balinese language through the Balinese Wikipedia.
Description[edit source]
Bali is a religious island. The majority of the population on this island are adherents of the Hindu religion or the “tirta religion” which considers water as an important element in religious ceremonial processions and in everyday life. One of the cultures born from this belief is “malukat” (self-purification using holy water). But unfortunately, there is not much adequate information about malukat and the place to carry out this procession. WikiTirta is a project to document and map malukat places in Bali in the form of images and metadata. In addition, we also provide accurate information through articles on Wikipedia Bali as our effort to preserve our mother tongue.

This session will be very related to diversity, collaboration future because in the future we hope to involve various parties such as academics, village managers, government, cultural and tourism observers and others to participate in building and preserving culture through providing accurate information. The result is that in the future, cultures, especially in Bali, are more documented and mapped to make them more recognizable and of course easier to access. So that the culture that exists today remains sustainable into the future.
