Design and Development of a Virtual Platform Destined to Store Ancestral Botanic Knowledge

Abstract

Presently, indigenous knowledge is recognized as valuable in the development of the indigenous peoples. Unfortunately, it runs the risk of disappearing for various reasons and it is of dire need to win it back and preserve it and one way to do so is through the tools the ICT give us. In this paper a proposal is made to create a virtual community, referred to as CV (comunidad virtual), that allows the creation of digital lockers where ancestral wisdom can be stored.
