Indigenous Knowledge and Resource Management in Northern Australia

该项目响应了澳大利亚北方各地土著社区日益增长的需求，即对受威胁的土著知识（IK）进行数字存档，以促进保护和代际传承。 该项目旨在开发一系列土著居民数据库，以满足包括土著社区、资源管理机构和研究人员在内的各种利益攸关方的要求。 该项目的创新之处在于让土著研究人员和顾问在制定数据库结构协议、保护知识产权、代际传递以及就向资源管理机构和学术研究人员传播信息进行谈判方面拥有主导权。

The project responds to increasing demands of Indigenous communities across northern Australia for the digital archiving of threatened Indigenous Knowledge (IK) to facilitate conservation and intergenerational transmission. The project aims to develop a series of databases of IK satisfying the requirements of varied stakeholders, including Indigenous communities, resource management agencies and researchers. The project is innovative in giving a dominant voice to Indigenous researchers and consultants in the development of protocols for database structures, protection of intellectual property rights, intergenerational transmission and negotiation of dissemination of information to resource management agencies and academic researchers.
