The process of creating inventories and records, which plays a significant role in the safeguarding of intangible cultural heritage, needs to be reinterpreted considering of the changes brought about by technology in today's context. The interactive environment facilitated by digitization has led to different perspectives on the traditional concept of an "inventory." Interactive and participatory inventories, where users can contribute to content creation, using videos and photographs, have become crucial in the context of intangible cultural heritage. Particularly, digital inventories created by enthusiasts of traditional knowledge, supported by certain civil society organizations or governments, inherently represent a user-community-based, participatory space. These inventories encourage active participation by documenting regional cuisines, wedding customs, funeral rituals, oral cultural products, through short videos and photos uploaded to online platforms. In addition to debates surrounding concepts such as the "changing notion of field," "the internet as the new domain of folklore," "netlore," "netnography," and "digital folklore," it is essential to discuss the concept of " digital, participatory, living inventory" especially when it comes to safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. The storage of materials such as written documents, audio recordings, and videos in external memory devices can make it difficult for future generations to access them. In this regard, the traditional inventory approach can lead to the concealment and sometimes stagnation of cultural heritage elements. In this context, the study conducts a document analysis and situation analysis in the online environment to identify the existence of various platforms that are effective in inventorying intangible cultural heritage. The data discussed in the study are collected from relevant applications and analyzed. As a result, this article discusses data held on various internet platforms, which are constantly updated, reproduced, and have higher visibility compared to traditional inventories, interpreting them as "digital participatory inventories" or "living inventories." Examples selected for analysis include different pages on Wikimedia sites, YouTube, and other social media platforms. Upon examining the selected examples, three different approaches to digital living inventories are identified.
