Data Warehouse Techniques in Traditional Knowledge Systems
Deepak Kumar Pande · 2005
Traditional knowledge is the knowledge that has been passed from one generation to the next through the oral or written traditions. Elders, being the most knowledge persons are very important in the society. The elders are the people, who have gained the knowledge over their lifetime and are needed to teach the younger generations. The relationship of the indigenous people to the land and its resources is tantamount to their survival. No matter where they live and whatever beliefs they have, they all view land as the basis of their survival. Attempts are being made to document and preserve Oral Traditional Knowledge and Traditional Cultural Expressions. Looking into the quantum of the information, It is difficult to document and retrieve the information. To make this a reality, an urgent need to fabricate a Data Warehouse (DW) on Traditional Knowledge Systems (TKS) has been emphasised.
