今天的数字地理空间技术，如空间数据、地图、空间数据库和地理信息系统，并没有很好地服务于土著人的地方知识。本文旨在识别和探索土著人的地方知识和数字地理空间技术之间的新联系。我们的分析是围绕过去工作中的三个关键差距进行的：（a）关于空间的数字数据，而不是关于地方的知识的数字数据的代表性过高;（B）缺乏区分知识获取和实现土著数据主权的设施;（c）缺乏支持和维持土著和非土著人民之间关系的设施。本文进一步确定和探讨了地理信息科学（GI科学）领域的最新研究课题，以解决这些差距。这包括确定与以前不相关的研究领域的新的偶然协同作用，例如位置隐私，不确定性，定性空间推理或分布式空间计算的研究。结论承认，我们的回顾性方法不太可能导致地理空间技术的彻底重新制定。然而，我们认为，识别技术机会可以提供一个务实的途径，更快地引导新的方法，超越简单的技术“修复”。"
Indigenous knowledge of place is not well-served by today's digital geospatial technologies, such as spatial data, maps, spatial databases, and GIS. This paper aims to identify and explore new connections between Indigenous knowledge of place and digital geospatial technologies. Our analysis is structured around three key gaps in past work: (a) the overrepresentation of digital data about space, rather than knowledge of place; (b) a lack of facility to differentiate access to knowledge and enable Indigenous data sovereignty; (c) a lack of facility to support and sustain relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. The paper further identifies and explores recent research topics in the field of geographic information science (GI science) with relevance to addressing these gaps. This includes identifying new serendipitous synergies with previously unconnected research areas, such as research into location privacy, uncertainty, qualitative spatial reasoning, or distributed spatial computing. The conclusions acknowledge that our retrospective approach is unlikely to lead to radical reformulation of geospatial technologies. Nevertheless, we argue that identifying technological opportunities could offer a pragmatic pathway to more rapidly bootstrap new approaches, beyond simply technological "fixes."
