An attempt to merge local and technological paradigms in the digital representation of indigenous knowledge. In N. J. Bidwell & H.

Windhoek, Namibia: IKTC2011.http://hdl.handle.net/10628/309Indigenous Knowledge Technology Conference (IKTC) (2011 Nov. 2-4 : Windhoek, Namibia)Current technology trends and developments have hardly been informed by African indigenous and rural knowledge systems. Thus either substantial modifications are necessary in adapting technology to the requirements of indigenous knowledge systems or those systems are inadequately represented through technologies. This paper explores different options of organising video recorded indigenous knowledge in the pursuit of maintaining local communication patterns and practices. The evolutionary design of our indigenous knowledge management system is informed by a series of interactions and prototype evaluations with a pilot community in Eastern Namibia.enIndigenous knowledge management systems - NamibiaICT - NamibiaIndigenous Knowledge Technology Conference, 2011, WindhoekIKTC Conference, 2011, WindhoekDigital indigenous knowledge - NamibiaConferences and workshopsArticle
