Community Knowledge Management. Indigenous, Rural, and Marginalized Communities - A Global Perspective

      Аннотация: This book deals with an exciting often overlooked area; the need to locate, maintain, manage, and share the knowledge of rural, Indigenous, and marginalized (RIM) communities globally. This knowledge globally is a valuable source for human prosperity and survival. Implicit within this is the need for respect and fair compensation to the communities that are the sources of this knowledge. Knowledge sharing is a two way street.
