Journal Article
A Framework for Developing a Knowledge Base for Indigenous Ecological Knowledge in Uganda
2009
Overview
Interest is growing at national and international level in the role of indigenous knowledge in participatory development. But information scientists are paying more attention to the conceptual understanding of indigenous knowledge than the practical aspects of building a knowledge base for it. This is attributed to the absence of an agreed framework for documenting indigenous knowledge. Consequently documenting, preserving and disseminating indigenous knowledge are less than satisfactory. A framework for developing a knowledge base is needed to bring a combination of the best practices from the traditional and modern knowledge. The article presents a framework for documenting indigenous knowledge in Uganda. It raises issues to document and using them to develop the framework. With such a framework information scientists can document, preserve and disseminate indigenous knowledge.
