Interpretation

"International Charter for the Interpretation and Presentation of Cultural Heritage Sites"

-  ICOMOS, 2008 -

Heritage can hold multiple values because a single property can have different values depending on its context, and each group of stakeholders grants it different values. For a property to be on the World Heritage List, it must be recognized for its “Outstanding Universal Value”, which may not include every value it has.
