Development of mobile application for documenting traditional knowledge in Indonesia

摘要

Along with the development of globalization, there is a change of values and way of life in local communities. That change had an impact on the loss of potential resources of traditional knowledge. Because of the important of traditional knowledge, many people from government, non-profit organization (NGO) and others attempted to document it into digital form. However, that activity is not fully supported by communication and technology (ICT) infrastructures, e.g. mobile technology, so that process of documentation was not coordinated and integrated well. This research attempted to develop mobile application based on situation in documenting traditional knowledge in Indonesia. The mobile application development was used CommonKADS as methodology with some modifications. As the result, mobile application is successfully designed and represented into six component models, i.e. situation model, agent model, task model, knowledge model, communication model and design model. Then, all models are used as basic to deploy mobile application to meet user requirement and solve problem that has been identified and defined at beginning of research phases.
