Construction of the Knowledge Organization Structure on Ami Tribe’s Material Culture

In the past several years, there has been a growing interest in theunderstanding and construction of knowledge organization structureof Taiwan’s aboriginal cultures. However, aboriginal knowledge iscommonly spread by oral tradition and rarely by inscriptions, whichincreases the difficulty of such endeavors. In this regard, a standardmethodological framework for capturing and constructing aborignals’knowledge systems is still lacking. In the previous research, the author introduced a series of construction methods and procedures towards Taiwan’s aboriginal knowledge organization structure in response to the research void. It can also be served as a resource and reference for scholars and related public agencies. In addition, in this research the author constructs knowledge organization structure on Ami tribe’s material culture to further test the feasibility of the construction methods on Taiwan’s aboriginal knowledge organization structure.
