	Health Heritage (Traditional Knowledge Test Database): This compilation provides a test database of public domain traditional knowledge, which is made available on the WIPO website at the request of the Indian Government.

It contains documentation data of codified traditional knowledge, all of which is already in the public domain. It may be used as a trial product to test the perceived potential of traditional knowledge databases for improving the availability of disclosed traditional knowledge as searchable prior art.
