Multilingual semantic similarity
cosine similarity (method detail)0.797

Computed with intfloat/multilingual-e5-small multilingual embeddings. Display score is a calibrated mapping of the raw cross-lingual cosine (0.797); higher means closer meaning. Reflects semantic similarity, not proof of causation.

  • •Parallel domestic policy development is possible.
  • •Industry or market pressure may have driven similar language.
  • •A common external shock (e.g., financial crisis, pandemic) could explain parallel adoption.

Cross-lingual similarity 42/100 (multilingual e5 embedding) — a computed signal, not proof.

Similarity type: institutional emulation — UNESCO heritage governance echo

Caveat: semantic similarity only — this tier records a hypothesis, not proof of causal influence.

Curated

Global purpose, Korean purpose, and precursor stages. Reasoning echo is discourse observation — not proof of coordination.

Global purpose

Protect tangible and intangible heritage under UNESCO conventions via Korea Heritage Service reorganisation and Cultural Heritage Act updates.

Korean purpose

「문화유산의 보존 및 활용에 관한 법률」 개정(2025.10.1, 2026.1.2 시행) + 무형유산법 시행령 개정(2024.5.17): 국가유산청(Korea Heritage Service, 2024 기관개편). 세계유산 특별법(2020): 5년 종합계획·유산구역·UNESCO 국제센터.
