REGIONAL HERITAGE · RESEARCH & TECHNOLOGY
Poroset is developing a research workspace for regional foods, crafts and the knowledge behind them. We connect cultural stories to their sources, so they can be understood, checked and carried forward.

01 / WHO WE ARE
Local knowledge deserves more than a story without a source. Poroset brings the story and its evidence together.
Information about traditional products is scattered across inventories, archives and accounts. We are building a way to organise it into useful research records: what a source supports, where it comes from and what still needs investigating. Our starting point is the food and craft heritage of Türkiye.
When a product disappears,
a body of knowledge falls silent.
02 / PUBLIC RESEARCH PILOT
Three initial desk-research records show how Poroset connects a statement to its evidence. Browse, filter and inspect the source yourself.
3 / 3 records
Preparation, hospitality and the sharing of knowledge.
How do preparation and serving practices vary between local communities?
Glazed tiles and ceramics as a living craft.
Which workshop-specific techniques can makers document and share with permission?
Material knowledge and skills that need safeguarding.
What do today’s practitioners identify as their most urgent transmission needs?
No records match your search.
Source review: 8 October 2026. These are desk-research notes, not field studies. Listing years are not origin dates. Poroset is independent of UNESCO.

The public pilot uses desk research from published heritage records. The same structure guides the research workspace we are developing.
Start with attributed inventories, institutional records and research. Preserve the link and document identifier.
Record each supported fact separately. A source’s publication or listing date is not proof of a tradition’s origin.
Keep documented information apart from inference, oral accounts and questions that still need research.
Make records accessible across languages. Future interviews and community contributions require permission and attribution.
04 / WHO WE ARE BUILDING FOR
We are exploring how structured research can support the people who make, study and communicate regional heritage.
A clearer basis for explaining the traditions behind their products, with sources and careful attribution.
Structured material for interpretation, learning resources and future documentation projects.
Traceable starting points for further research, multilingual briefs and questions for fieldwork.
05 / DEVELOPMENT
Browse three source-linked records in three languages, inspect their evidence and download the structured index. This public pilot uses curated text; it does not call an AI service.
We plan to use the Claude API to extract candidate claims from supplied documents, return document citations, compare conflicting accounts and draft translations for human review. No AI integration is live yet.
Measure whether sources actually support each claim, how well the system flags missing evidence, translation accuracy and reviewer time. An AI-generated citation will not be treated as proof by itself.
Paid research briefs and a subscription workspace for producers and heritage teams. Pricing and demand still need validation; the public pilot is free.
