What makes a thing to be part of cultural heritage is some kind of value, externally assigned by agents.

In addition, and once we have agreed to the principles above, bear in mind that most definitions of cultural heritage that you may be able to think of are, in fact, special cases of the definition given here. For example, some argue that cultural heritage should be composed only of those that a relevant authority in the government of a state has recognized as such through legal or administrative procedures. Regardless of whether you agree or not with this definition, it is easy to see how it can be formulated as a special case of our definition that “cultural heritage is the set of things that are granted cultural heritage value by a group”, by limiting this group to be composed of specialists from the corresponding authority, and the associated benefit (as referred to by “cultural heritage value is the agreed-upon importance that a group grants to something as an acknowledgement that this thing incarnates values or rules representative of a culture that is relevant to the group, and that it may potentially benefit a relevant group in the future”) to be of an administrative kind. We would end up with definitions such as:Cultural heritage is the set of things that are granted cultural heritage value by a relevant state authority.
