This research examines the impact of digitized and digital indigenous knowledge collections (D-IKC) on cultural knowledge transmission, social connections, and cultural identity through semi-structured interviews with 8 users of D-IKC in New Zealand. The participants acknowledged that D-IKC brought about many benefits, including the surfacing of otherwise hidden or inaccessible cultural heritage. Concerns around digital access, digital competency, and responsiveness to cultural values need to be thoughtfully addressed nevertheless. Use of D-IKC had impact not only at an individual level but also at a social-community level. We highlight several traditional cultural values related to D-IKC use that are not embodied in existing value-impact frameworks. This research also found that the intersection and interactions among individual needs, cultural expectations, and norms and affordances around the digital information environments concerned were nuanced and multifaceted. These facets must be incorporated into the stewardship of knowledge collections. We also observed “digital knowledge sharing in the wild”—knowledge transmission that transpired and in some cases led to creation of knowledge resources that materialized outside the bounds of the originating repositories and institutions. Further studies into such self-organized knowledge transmission/sharing phenomena can lead to valuable insights to inform and shape the curation and design of D-IKC.

数字化土著知识收藏：对文化知识传播、社会联系和文化认同的影响

本研究通过对新西兰 D-IKC 的 8 位用户进行半结构化访谈，研究数字化和数字化土著知识收藏 (D-IKC) 对文化知识传播、社会联系和文化认同的影响。参与者承认 D-IKC 带来了许多好处，包括使原本隐藏或无法访问的文化遗产浮出水面。然而，需要深思熟虑地解决对数字访问、数字能力和对文化价值的反应的担忧。D-IKC 的使用不仅在个人层面而且在社会社区层面都有影响。我们强调了与 D-IKC 使用相关的几个传统文化价值观，这些价值观没有体现在现有的价值影响框架中。这项研究还发现，个体需求之间的交叉和相互作用，围绕相关数字信息环境的文化期望、规范和可供性是微妙和多方面的。这些方面必须纳入知识收藏的管理中。我们还观察到“野外数字知识共享”——发生的知识传播，在某些情况下导致知识资源的创建，这些资源在原始存储库和机构的范围之外实现。对这种自组织知识传输/共享现象的进一步研究可以产生有价值的见解，以告知和塑造 D-IKC 的策划和设计。我们还观察到“野外数字知识共享”——发生的知识传播，在某些情况下导致知识资源的创建，这些资源在原始存储库和机构的范围之外实现。对这种自组织知识传输/共享现象的进一步研究可以产生有价值的见解，以告知和塑造 D-IKC 的策划和设计。我们还观察到“野外数字知识共享”——发生的知识传播，在某些情况下导致知识资源的创建，这些资源在原始存储库和机构的范围之外实现。对这种自组织知识传输/共享现象的进一步研究可以产生有价值的见解，以告知和塑造 D-IKC 的策划和设计。
