In the UNESCO List of World Intangible Heritage many items (= E28 Conceptual Object) are referred to specific gatherings of people - commonly named “communities” in everyday's language - such as:
Tango -> Argentina & Uruguay Rebetiko -> Greece Opera dei pupi (puppet theatre) -> Italy (Sicily) These geographic names in reality mean the people, the inhabitants (maybe not all of them): Argentinians, Uruguayos, Greeks, Sicilians i.e. the social groups who are the custodians/performers of these traditions. So two classes are involved 1) The group (Argentinians, Greeks, etc.) = E39 Actor 2) The conceptual object representing the intangible heritage (Tango, Rebetiko, etc.) = E28 Conceptual Object Note that intangibile heritage is NOT an activity, it is the abstraction of a set of activities and the way in which they are traditionally performed, which manifests through events/activities i.e. individual performances. Which property - if any - can be used to relate such E39 Actors to the corresponding E28? Thank you for any help on the above.
