HONG KONG, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) -- Hong Kong Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing said Wednesday the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government will consider commissioning an agency to conduct a city-wide survey and compile a comprehensive intangible cultural heritage inventory.

    Tsang told lawmakers that the University of Science and Technology has conducted a pilot study on Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage.

    He said that 34 out of the 78 intangible cultural heritage items listed by Guangdong province have existed and developed in Hong Kong. The HKSAR government is examining the report and will consider commissioning an agency to compile a comprehensive inventory.

    On the Hong Kong Memory Project, Tsang said the working group on the project has been liaising with libraries, museums and archives for the collection, preservation and presentation of documentaries in digitized format.

    The web-based platform will be implemented in phases and the first test version will be available in 2010, he added.
