This website was first built by the National Library of the Republic of Indonesia in 2004, is dedicated specifically to the Congress of Southeast Asian Libraries (CONSAL), to be presented as part of the Secretariat website CONSAL (http://www.consal.org). In CONSAL website, expected each member country provides information on cultural heritage in the country. The theme chosen for the existence of temples temples in Indonesia is closely associated with the history of the nation of Indonesia. The temples are scattered throughout the archipelago is a wonderful cultural heritage and high value so that its existence needs to be known by the public.
The purpose of making this "temple in Indonesia" website is to inform the existence of a temple to the whole society, both the people of Indonesia and the international community, so everyone who wish to visit or conduct research on the temples and can be used as a reference.
However, the early version of this website is still webpage static form, which means the presentation of web pages are still done manually (not automated) that causes some difficulties to perform the contents update and contents search.
Therefore, in 2014, the development of this website more focussed on the use of content management systems, so data updating activities will becomes easier. For visitors, this development will facilitate the search for relevant data about the temples, including location maps, photos, videos, and other material related documents quickly.
