摘要：Indigenous knowledge (IK) has for quite some time
been forgotten in the globalization of modern science
and technology. However, the paradox of globalization
– which increases the value of local information resources
as the world becomes more global – has created renewed
interest in IK. The interest has so far mostly been
generated in the Western world toward the IK of
developing countries. Although the above statements
remain open for debate, it is commonly known that IK is
often still poorly documented let alone disseminated by
most developing countries.
