ABSTRACT

Digital technology has transformed the way knowledge is produced, mediated and accessed. Wikipedia, as by far the most visited and significant source of information on the Internet, plays a crucial role in shaping the information people read. Even though its vision is to record the “sum of all human knowledge”, there are still significant imbalances in representation between Western knowledge traditions and indigenous knowledges in the global South on Wikipedia. Drawing upon experiences from indigenous knowledge documentation projects in Indonesia as case studies, this paper explores the challenges of incorporating indigenous knowledge to Wikipedia and proposes some suggestions to achieve knowledge equity.

摘要

数字技术改变了知识的生产、传播和获取方式。维基百科是迄今为止互联网上访问量最大、最重要的信息来源，在塑造人们阅读的信息方面发挥着至关重要的作用。尽管它的愿景是记录“所有人类知识的总和”，但维基百科上西方知识传统和全球南方本土知识之间的代表性仍然存在显着的不平衡。本文借鉴印度尼西亚土著知识文献项目的经验作为案例研究，探讨了将土著知识纳入维基百科的挑战，并提出了一些实现知识公平的建议。
