Cultural heritage, as a testament to history and national identity, holds immense value. However, its vast, specialized nature requires expert interpretation. Most resources are isolated in static databases, hindering access to both explicit and implicit knowledge. Effectively showcasing and communicating these resources’ value is a key challenge for cultural heritage institutions. To activate cultural heritage resources, this study develops the "Cultural Heritage Knowledge Portrait (CHKP)" based on the DIKW (Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom) framework. Unlike user profiles, which rely on static and dynamic user data to uncover needs, CHKP is "object-oriented." It integrates content information (e.g., historical context) and carrier information (e.g., physical attributes) through semantic descriptions and associations for knowledge modeling. This approach aims to provide a comprehensive presentation of cultural heritage's key characteristics and connotations. While similar to knowledge graphs in technical structure, CHKP focuses on personalized descriptions of specific heritage resources, highlighting multi-dimensional information about individual objects. By combining the strengths of both approaches, CHKP offers a semantic, detailed, and multi-dimensional interpretation that facilitates resource connection, utilization, and development. "The Modern and Contemporary Chinese Suzhou Silk Archives" is listed in both the "Chinese Archives Heritage List" and the "Memory of the World Register," offering invaluable contributions to world memory with unique cultural, historical, and artistic significance. This study focuses on the Suzhou Silk Archives as its research subject to construct the Suzhou Silk Knowledge Portrait, with the aim of comprehensively showcasing the allure of Suzhou silk.
