cultural observatories  

Definition

  • Although cultural observatories—entities that collect and monitor information on culture—are largely national and regional, there are also some efforts to develop global cultural observatories. An observatory, in the primary sense of the word, is a body that observes, measures, and monitors various categories of phenomena, for example, the stars or weather conditions (hence, astronomical or meteorological observatories).
