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.
