计算隐喻已经成为信息系统设计中不可或缺的一部分,但它们深深植根于文化实践中。本文通过研究新西兰土著毛利人文化背景下的数字图书馆中的图书馆隐喻,来考察这些隐喻的跨文化使用和可用性。人种学研究考察了毛利文化的相关特征、知识转移的形式及其对有形和数字图书馆的使用。在此基础上,本文指出了为什么以及何时图书馆的比喻失败的毛利人和其他土著用户,并指出这些知识如何有助于改善未来的设计。
Computing metaphors have become an integral part of information systems design, yet they are deeply rooted in cultural practices. This paper presents an investigation of the cross-cultural use and usability of such metaphors by studying the library metaphor of digital libraries in the cultural context of the Maori, the indigenous population of New Zealand. The ethnographic study examines relevant features of the Maori culture, their form of knowledge transfer and their use of physical and digital libraries. On this basis, the paper points out why and when the library metaphor fails Maori and other indigenous users, and indicates how this knowledge can contribute to the improvement of future designs.
